[Smooth indented marks] Scar New Skin Needle

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's New Skin Acupuncture (Subcision) Treatment Approach

* Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's 3-Step New Skin Acupuncture Treatment Process

Step 1 – Release of Shallow Adhesions

Fibrous adhesions spread widely beneath the skin surface are precisely separated with micro-needles.

Delicate fibrous structures that pull down the scarred area are meticulously severed,

As a result, the appearance of indented scars can be naturally improved.

Step 2 – Release of Deep Adhesions

Firm adhesive tissues deeply embedded beneath the dermis are

gently released over a wide area using a cannula.

Unlike the Nokor needle used in the past (which is large and causes severe bruising and pain), this method is performed in a way that minimizes bruising and pain.

This procedure is suitable for wide-ranging scars such as rolling scars and boxcar scars.

It is an important process that contributes to reducing bruising and pain after the procedure.

Step 3 – Tissue Regeneration Promotion (Micro-needling Application)

In the final step, micro-needles are used to intentionally induce micro-bleeding within the tissue.

This creates an environment where blood flow and growth factors can gather,

stimulating fibroblasts and helping to promote collagen regeneration.

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's New Skin Acupuncture treatment is based on combination therapy

To enhance the treatment's improvement effects and reduce the burden of recovery time, we implement systematic combination therapy.

① PDRN Injection Concomitant (DNA Injection Procedure)

For all New Skin Acupuncture treatments, we administer PDRN injections concurrently.

This promotes wound healing and can help reduce the possibility of post-procedure redness and hyperpigmentation.

It is an important process that enhances the regenerative capacity of scar tissue, and is provided as a standard rather than an option.

② Erbium YAG Fractional Laser Combination for Faster Recovery

Subcision focuses on improving the structure of the deeper layers of the skin.

However, the skin's surface texture or fine irregularities are difficult to refine directly.

For this reason, after subcision treatment, we always combine it with Erbium YAG Fractional Laser.

Erbium YAG Fractional Laser acts on the superficial layers of the skin to contribute to the improvement of surface texture, pores, and finely indented areas.

This can reduce the burden of recovery time, while also enhancing the overall improvement effect of the treatment.

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's New Skin Acupuncture Treatment: What Should Be Considered?

*Treatment Design Based on Anatomical Knowledge

We go beyond simply 'treating deeply'.

We determine which skin layer the adhesions are in, and in which direction they should be released,

after accurate diagnosis, we establish and proceed with a treatment plan.

*Utilization of Precise Treatment Techniques and Tools

By combining precise tools such as various needles, cannulas, and micro-needles,

we focus on reducing post-procedure discomfort such as bruising, swelling, and pain, while maintaining the effectiveness of the treatment.

*Importance of Combining PDRN and Fractional Laser Treatments

Combination therapy, which aids patients' recovery capabilities and enhances treatment efficiency,

for our medical staff, is not an option but an essential basic process.

*Accurate Diagnosis and Exclusion of Unnecessary Procedures

Subcision treatment is not suitable for all scar types.

For scars that frankly don't necessarily require treatment, we honestly advise that you may not need to proceed with the procedure.

As medical professionals, we believe that an objective assessment of the patient's condition must precede any treatment recommendation.

What is New Skin Needle (Saesalchim) treatment?

Scars often show a phenomenon where the skin is pulled downwards from deep within.

Although the skin appears sunken on the surface, it is actually due to structures beneath the dermal layer where

fibrous tissues, like strings, are pulling the skin of the scar area downwards.

These fibrous adhesions must be broken to allow the sunken skin to return to its original position.

Saesalchim, or subcision treatment, serves to break these adhesive structures that pull the skin downwards.

How Saesalchim Works

1. Release of Adherent Tissue (Release)

The fibrous adherent tissues located deep within the skin are

carefully separated using a micro-needle or cannula.

→ As the structures pulling the skin are released, depressed scars can gradually rise.

2. Micro-Blood Induction (Regeneration Signal)

The subtle blood response that occurs during the separation of adherent tissues

can provide important stimulation necessary for collagen production.

→ This promotes fibroblast activity, creating an environment where new skin tissue can regenerate around the scar.

3. Promotion of Blood Circulation and Tissue Regeneration

If necessary, microneedling treatment may be combined with PDRN (DNA injection).

This induces a concentrated influx of blood flow and regenerative cells to the treated area,

which can help simultaneously activate wound healing and collagen production.

What types of scars can Saesalchim treatment be considered for?

Depressed scars on the forehead that appear as if stamped or punched

Scars around the temples that appear deeply indented or irregular

Sunken scars on the nose area that look like one, two, or multiple dots

Complex scars on both cheeks, appearing in various forms such as depressed or punched-out

Understanding Multi-Saesalchim Treatment (Erbium YAG Shouldering Combined Treatment, complementing the limitations of traditional Saesalchim)

This method combines traditional Saesalchim, or subcision treatment, with the shouldering technique to enhance effectiveness.

An important aspect of scar improvement is not merely breaking the adherent tissue beneath the scar.

Even if subcision releases the underlying adhesions, scars with distinct and deep borders may face difficulties in smooth skin regeneration.

The human body exhibits a natural tendency to heal damaged areas to a height and texture similar to the surrounding skin.

However, if the scar's border is sharply demarcated, this natural regeneration process may not proceed smoothly.

Therefore, the 'shouldering' process, which involves finely refining the scar borders to make them gentler, is crucial.

Undergoing this shouldering process reduces the height difference with the surrounding skin, allowing the scar area to connect more naturally with the adjacent lines as it fills, leading to a less noticeable result aesthetically.

In fact, there are many cases where satisfactory improvement was not achieved with traditional Saesalchim treatment alone, and this is largely related to this point.

No matter how much the adhesions are released, if the scar borders remain like a wall, the skin regeneration process may ultimately have limitations. 

Therefore, shouldering can be considered an important step that complements the limitations of traditional treatments for improving depressed scars with distinct borders. 

Types Suitable for Multi-Saesalchim Treatment

1) Those who have not achieved desired improvement with traditional Saesalchim treatment or general scar treatments alone

Despite having received subcision or laser treatment, some individuals are concerned that the scarred area has not filled in as much as expected.

This is because even if the adhesions under the scar have been released, if the surrounding scar edges remain steep, it is difficult for the skin tissue to naturally fill in.

In such cases, smoothing the scar edges with a shouldering procedure can lead to more satisfying improvement.

The second case is when a scar is deeply indented, with clear and steep borders.

Especially scars with deep and sharp borders, like boxcar scars, even if new skin regenerates from within,

the side borders remain rigid like a wall, hindering normal skin regeneration.

In such instances, applying Erbium-YAG shouldering to gently refine the scar edges can help the height difference blend naturally with the surrounding skin.

The third case is for those who wish to experience skin improvement with fewer sessions than traditional new skin regeneration treatments.

While traditional new skin regeneration treatments expect gradual effects over multiple sessions, multi-level regeneration treatment comprehensively manages three elements at once: adhesions beneath the scar, the side borders, and the surface.

Due to this approach, it is expected that changes can be experienced with fewer sessions compared to traditional new skin regeneration treatments.
