How to Treat Acne Scars at QD Skin Clinic in Seoul, Korea


Acne scars come in many forms—boxcar, rolling, ice-pick, hypertrophic, and pigmented marks. QD Skin Clinic provides customized, multi-layered scar care designed to smooth texture, rebuild collagen, and brighten the overall complexion.

1. Skin Diagnosis for Scar Type

A detailed evaluation helps choose the most effective combination treatment for:

  • Ice-pick scars
  • Boxcar scars
  • Rolling scars
  • Textural dents
  • Red or brown post-acne marks (PIE/PIH)

2. Fractional Laser Resurfacing

Fractional CO2 / Erbium Options
Targets deep textural scars by stimulating collagen remodeling.
Ideal for boxcar, rolling, and ice-pick scars.

Benefits:

3. Subcision for Deep Depressed Scars

Scar Subcision

Often combined with fillers or laser for enhanced results.

4. Microneedling / RF Microneedling

  • Gradual texture improvement
  • Firmer, smoother skin surface

5. Laser Toning for Red & Brown Marks

6. TCA CROSS (If Offered)

A precise acid application used for:

  • Ice-pick scars
  • Narrow, deep scars
  • Stubborn marks that do not respond to lasers

Creates collagen regeneration inside the scar.

7. Collagen Boosting Fillers (If Needed)
