Acne Scar Treatment in Seoul

QUICK ANSWER

Acne scars are treated by type: rolling scars respond to subcision and boosters, boxcar scars to fractional CO2 and microneedle RF, and icepick scars to focused techniques. The Heal's Scar Renewal Technique combines these while protecting the skin barrier. Most patients need 3–5 sessions 4–6 weeks apart for meaningful improvement of about 50–70%.
