Indented acne scars: Why don't they fill in over time? Finding the answer with the Potenza principle Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

Pitted scars left after acne disappear do not fill in on their own over time, leading many to consider treatment for indented acne scars.

Many people feel frustrated seeing scars that remain unchanged after several years, despite waiting for them to fade each time they look in the mirror.

Acne scars are indented not due to a simple pigmentation issue, but because of a defect in the tissue itself.

Severe inflammatory acne destroys the dermal layer around the sebaceous glands, breaking down the normal collagen structure.

During this process, the dermal tissue fails to fill in, leaving the scar area sunken.

Atrophic scars do not fill in on their own

While the epidermis has a fast cell regeneration cycle and recovers from wounds in a few days, the dermis regenerates much slower, and the signals for new collagen production are weak.

Therefore, even after acne inflammation has completely subsided, pitted scars often remain unchanged for many years.

Atrophic scars are classified into icepick, boxcar, and rolling types based on their shape, with each form having different depths and extents of dermal damage.

Accurate classification of scar types is crucial for setting the appropriate needle depth and energy intensity.

The core of treating indented acne scars is ultimately to stimulate the dermal layer to produce new collagen and elastin.

Potenza uses a needle RF method where tiny needles directly reach the dermal layer, then emit high-frequency energy from the needle tips.

Unlike older fractional lasers that ablated the surface, this method intensively targets the dermal layer, reducing downtime and enhancing regenerative effects.

The micro-channels created by the needles and the thermal stimulation induce the body's healing response, promoting collagen resynthesis.

Needle depth can be adjusted from 0.5 millimeters to 3.5 millimeters, allowing for precise treatment planning tailored to scar depth.

Some people believe that scars can be improved with fillers or Botox, but fillers are for adding volume, and scar improvement requires an approach that regenerates collagen.

Treatment for indented acne scars usually recommends cumulative sessions, typically 3 to 5 times, at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks.

It is not a concept completed in a single session, but a process of repeatedly accumulating stimulation in line with the dermal regeneration cycle.

Along with scar improvement, sebum secretion control must also be combined to maintain smooth skin texture without recurrence.

Immediately after the procedure, redness and tiny pinpoint bleeding may appear, usually subsiding within one to two days.

Depending on skin type and treatment intensity, calming may take up to a week, so individual differences should be considered.

After the procedure, it's important to avoid heat-inducing activities like saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for about two days, and to diligently moisturize and protect from UV rays.

Results possible thanks to Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic

The results of indented acne scar treatment differ significantly depending on how the equipment is actually operated, rather than just its principle.

When performing skin booster treatments, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic uses a Potenza-exclusive pumping tip to accurately deliver the medication into the dermal layer.

This pumping tip utilizes the pressure generated at the moment the needles retract to absorb the medication, resulting in significantly higher absorption efficiency compared to conventional topical application methods.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic adheres to a 'one patient, one tip' principle, discarding all needle tips immediately after use to prioritize hygiene and safety.

By adjusting needle depths differently for each area of concern and employing a layering technique that overlaps treatment, dense stimulation is delivered even to deeply scarred areas.

We ensure the full, prescribed number of shots is delivered without compromise, so energy is evenly distributed across the entire skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How many sessions of indented acne scar treatment are needed to see results?

A. You may notice an improvement in skin texture even after just one session, but the treatment effect for deeply pitted acne scars becomes significant after 3 or more cumulative sessions.

Q. Is indented acne scar treatment very painful?

A. Since we apply sufficient anesthetic cream before the procedure, the pain level is tolerable compared to other needle treatments, and Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic also focuses on pain management.

Q. Can old scars also be improved with indented acne scar treatment?

A. Even if the scars are old, improvement can be expected because the method involves stimulating the dermal layer, and treatment design tailored to the scar type is crucial.

Q. When can I resume daily activities after indented acne scar treatment?

A. You can resume daily activities starting the next day, but we recommend delaying makeup for about 3 days to protect your skin.
