This is a procedure note for Indented Acne Scars: Why You Need JuveLook (Going Beyond the Limits of Creams) at Gyeonggi Anyang Beomgye KKEUT Korean Clinic.
Many people are concerned because even after consistently using acne scar cream, indented scars remain the same.
This can be attributed to different types of scars rather than a lack of ingredients in the cream itself.

Acne scar creams are primarily designed to manage surface skin concerns such as dead skin cells or hyperpigmentation.
The moisturizing and brightening ingredients in such creams can help improve the condition of the skin's outer layer and soothe redness.
However, when scars appear as indentations in the skin, a different approach is needed.
Indented scars are not a problem of the epidermal layer but rather occur due to damage to the collagen structure deep within the dermal layer.
Acne inflammation affects the dermal layer, destroying collagen tissue, which results in the skin appearing sunken.
The depth that general cream products can penetrate is limited to the epidermis and the very top part of the dermis.
Therefore, for indented scars, prioritizing the replenishment of volume in the dermal layer is more important than simply managing the surface.

In this context, treatments that directly stimulate collagen production in the dermal layer can be considered.
JuveLook treatment, for example, can be considered for such situations.
JuveLook is a skin booster treatment that promotes the skin's collagen production by directly injecting polylactic acid (PLLA) into the dermal layer.
This approach doesn't merely fill the damaged area but activates the skin's inherent ability to regenerate collagen.

By inducing this self-collagen production, the tissue in the indented scar area can gradually fill up, and skin texture can improve.
JuveLook is primarily applied to skin concerns stemming from collagen damage in the dermal layer, such as enlarged pores, fine lines, and acne scars.
Among various skin boosters, it is known to have a relatively high effect in stimulating collagen synthesis.

Before considering the procedure, a consultation with the doctor will be held to thoroughly assess the current state, including the depth and extent of the scar, and to determine whether to proceed with the treatment.
For satisfactory results, it is usually recommended to receive the treatment in several sessions.
Many people often wonder about the difference between JuveLook and fillers.
While fillers immediately add volume to the skin, JuveLook induces collagen production, allowing for gradual improvement.
In cases involving damage to the skin tissue itself, such as acne scars, promoting skin regeneration is a more fundamental approach than simply adding volume.
There's no need to completely stop using acne scar cream.
This is because creams contribute to refining skin texture and improving tone on the surface, while JuveLook focuses on restoring dermal volume; each has a different role.
Creams and JuveLook are complementary management methods with different roles.

At our clinic, when consulting for indented scars that are difficult to improve with acne scar cream alone, the doctor directly and precisely diagnoses the depth of the scar and the state of collagen damage.
For patients with prominent dermal layer damage, we carefully review and recommend JuveLook treatment, which has a high effect in inducing collagen synthesis.

At our clinic, when performing JuveLook treatment, we utilize methods other than the typical manual injection technique.
This decision is made considering that manual injection can make it difficult to uniformly deliver the drug to the dermal layer, and there is a rare possibility of nodule formation.
We create micro-channels using a pumping tip or needle RF, then apply JuveLook to help the ingredients spread evenly throughout the entire dermal layer.
Channel-method JuveLook treatment performed at our clinic

Before the procedure, patients directly confirm the dosage of JuveLook to be used, and it is applied precisely as measured.
The channel formation method generally involves less pain compared to manual injection and does not leave significant wounds on the skin's surface, so special post-care may not be required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can indented scars improve with consistent use of acne scar cream alone?
A. Acne scar creams can help with surface skin condition and hyperpigmentation management, but their effectiveness for scars indented into the dermal layer may be limited. In such situations, we suggest considering a consultation for JuveLook treatment as well.
Q. Is it possible to use acne scar cream and JuveLook treatment simultaneously?
A. Yes, they can be used together. Acne scar cream can help with skin tone and texture management during the treatment period, and JuveLook focuses on dermal volume restoration, so it is common to manage both simultaneously.
Q. Is the pain felt during JuveLook treatment more intense than with acne scar cream?
A. Our clinic uses a channel formation method instead of manual injection to reduce pain. Therefore, even if you combine it with acne scar cream care, the burden may be less.
