Scar filler is a procedure that addresses depressed scars by injecting filler to replenish volume.

Many people consider scar fillers for areas where the skin is indented, such as acne scars or traumatic scars.

Depending on the cause and depth of the scar, scar filler alone may have limitations.

Looking at the principle of scar filler, it involves injecting filler ingredients into the depressed area beneath the dermal layer to physically lift the volume.

Fillers have the advantage of showing immediate volume improvement.

Filler ingredients are absorbed over time, so repeated treatments are necessary.

A characteristic of scar filler is that it approaches by filling in depressed areas rather than inducing the regeneration of the scar itself.

Potenza is a laser treatment that approaches with a completely different principle from scar filler.

Potenza works by having fine needles reach the dermal layer, then directly emitting high-frequency energy from the tip of the needles.

In this process, collagen and elastin production is promoted, leading to the regeneration of the skin itself.

While previous Fraxel lasers worked by ablating the surface, Potenza is an advanced method that minimizes surface damage while intensively stimulating the dermal layer.

This is why Potenza is indicated for improving acne scars, depressed scars, and enlarged pores.

The needle depth can be precisely adjusted from 0.5 millimeters to 3.5 millimeters, allowing for treatment tailored to the depth of the scar.

The ability to adjust needle depth variably is a key strength of Potenza.

In terms of comparing effects, scar filler has the advantage of showing immediate improvement in volume.

Potenza works by inducing collagen regeneration, so the effects appear gradually, and scar improvement becomes more noticeable as sessions accumulate.

For shallow and wide scars, you may experience a change in skin texture becoming smoother with Potenza alone.

Deep and narrow scars may take time with regeneration-inducing methods alone, so combining with scar filler may be considered.

Dividing recommended candidates, scar filler is primarily considered for those who need immediate volume improvement or have limited time.

Potenza is more suitable for those who want to fundamentally improve the skin itself in the scar area and desire continuous changes through regeneration.

Potenza treatments are performed at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks, and 3 to 5 cumulative sessions are recommended.

After Potenza treatment, redness and tiny pinpoint bleeding spots may occur, but they usually subside within 1 to 2 days.

Downtime may be longer depending on the treatment intensity and skin type, so individual differences should be considered.

It is advisable to avoid heat-inducing activities such as saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for about 1 to 2 days after the treatment.

Thorough moisturizing and sun protection are fundamental to scar regeneration management.

Scars are classified into boxcar, icepick, and rolling types according to their shape, and each type requires a different approach.

For wide, clearly defined boxcar scars, the Potenza method, which induces collagen regeneration, is relatively well-suited.

For narrow, deeply indented icepick scars, scar fillers that directly fill the volume can provide more immediate changes.

For rolling scars that spread widely like waves, a plan combining Potenza and scar fillers may also be considered.

Scar filler is sometimes regarded as a panacea because its effects are visible immediately after treatment, but as it works by filling volume, it cannot improve scar pigmentation or texture.

If redness or brown hyperpigmentation remains in the scar area, regeneration-inducing methods like Potenza are also needed.

During pre-treatment consultation, it is important to comprehensively examine the scar's depth, shape, and presence of pigmentation.

After scar filler treatment, it is best not to forcefully press or massage the injection site.

Makeup is possible from the day after Potenza treatment, but it is recommended to avoid it for about 3 days to protect the skin.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Unique Potenza Treatment Know-How

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, during Potenza treatment, we apply a layering technique that adjusts needle depth and overlaps for each scar area.

This method involves designing different densities for each area of concern, rather than approaching with the same intensity.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic promises an honest and sufficient number of shots, and meticulously treats to ensure energy is evenly delivered throughout the entire skin.

The principle of not compromising on effectiveness is Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's approach to Potenza treatment.

When combining Potenza with skin boosters, Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic uses a dedicated pumping tip to deliver the medication into the dermal layer.

The method using a pumping tip offers more than twice the absorption rate compared to general application methods.

All treatment tips adhere to a one-tip-per-person policy and are discarded immediately after use, which is another hygiene standard maintained by KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic.

A treatment environment that prioritizes patient safety is what sets KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic apart.

Results only possible at KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic - These detailed standards enhance the completeness of scar improvement.

KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic designs different needle depths and densities for each scar area, creating a clear distinction from uniform treatments.

Even when shallow and deep scars are present together, a specialized approach is possible for each area.

When scar filler combination treatment is needed, KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic provides thorough guidance during the consultation phase before planning the treatment.

It is our principle to carefully examine the scar shape and the presence of pigmentation before treatment, and not to recommend unnecessary procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Which treatment should I receive first, scar filler or Potenza?

A. It depends on the depth and shape of the scar, but Potenza is considered for shallow and wide scars, while a combination of scar filler is considered for deep and localized scars. At KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic, we determine the order based on the scar shape through consultation.

Q. How long do the effects of scar filler last?

A. Due to the nature of filler ingredients, they are absorbed over time, so repeat treatments are necessary to match the duration of effect. If scar filler alone is insufficient, a combination with Potenza may also be considered.

Q. How many Potenza treatments are needed to see results?

A. Generally, 3 to 5 cumulative treatments are recommended at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic performs dense treatments for each session.

Q. What is the downtime after scar filler treatment?

A. The filler itself generally has a short downtime, but swelling or bruising may remain for a few days. KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic provides thorough post-care guidance.
