Cigarette burn scars often remain as round indentations that don't easily disappear over time, which can be quite bothersome.

Regardless of the cause of these scars, it's a natural desire to want to improve the appearance of the existing scars.

These are not merely marks on the skin surface; they are scars that have affected deep into the dermis due to heat damage, which can make recovery slow.

Especially if the scars are on exposed areas like the face or arms, it can be difficult to cover them with clothing or makeup, making them even more bothersome.

Regular cosmetics or products that only manage the skin surface may struggle to work on deep scars, making it difficult to expect visible improvement.

Scars caused by heat damage often involve collagen and elastin fiber structures in the dermis remaining damaged.

Approaches that only focus on the epidermis have limitations in rebuilding the already damaged dermal structure.

Therefore, these types of scars are unlikely to improve on their own just by the passage of time.

For this reason, even after a long time has passed since the scar formed, the indented, round shape often remains and does not naturally fill in.

Accurately understanding the characteristics of the scar, as described, helps in setting the correct management direction.

To improve such scars, a method that delivers energy directly to the dermis, beyond the skin surface, to stimulate collagen production is needed.

Therefore, a method that accurately stimulates the dermis while minimizing surface damage can be considered more suitable for improving these scars.

For cigarette burn scars, stimulation that reaches the dermal layer plays a crucial role in improvement.

Potenza is a treatment that precisely inserts thin microneedles into the skin's dermal layer and then directly delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy from the tip of the needles.

Unlike traditional treatments that invasively target the surface, this method focuses on inducing dermal regeneration while minimizing skin surface damage.

This process can promote the skin's natural recovery and stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping the indented scar areas gradually fill in.

Potenza allows for adjustable needle insertion depths from 0.5mm to 3.5mm, enabling a delicate treatment plan tailored to the scar's depth or location.

Since all scars vary in their location and depth, a needle structure that allows for such depth adjustment is useful for individualized approaches to each scar.

For example, thin-skinned areas like the face and thicker areas like the limbs require different needle depths, necessitating precise adjustment.

Furthermore, the edges and center of a scar may have different depths, so it's important to delicately adjust the intensity for each area during the treatment.

The treatment is performed after applying anesthetic cream and is adjusted to minimize pain.

Immediately after the treatment, redness or tiny pinpoint bleeding may be visible, but these typically subside within 1-2 days.

However, the recovery period can vary depending on the treatment intensity and skin type, occasionally lasting about a week. Individual differences may occur.

For the improvement of cigarette burn scars, it is generally recommended to receive 3 to 5 treatment sessions consistently, with intervals of 4-6 weeks.

While you may notice changes in skin texture after just one treatment, the regeneration of deep indented scars can become more apparent with repeated sessions.

Know-how for Deep Scar Management

Cigarette burn scars, each with different depths and locations, can be approached using a layering technique.

This involves carefully adjusting the needle depth for each scar area and overlapping the treatment zones to deliver energy. Through this, even areas that might be easily missed with a single setting can be delicately stimulated, leading to expected results.

For hygiene and safety, we adhere to the principle of using only one treatment tip per person and disposing of it immediately.

Furthermore, we carefully perform the treatment, ensuring that the prescribed number of shots is fully utilized to deliver energy evenly across the entire skin.

When performing skin booster treatments concurrently, the Potenza-specific 'pumping tip' can be utilized to help deliver the medication deep into the dermal layer.

This method leverages the positive pressure created when the needles withdraw from the skin, which can contribute to higher drug absorption rates compared to simple topical application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can cigarette burn scars be improved with a single treatment?

A. The regenerative effects for cigarette burn scars tend to become more apparent with repeated treatments. We will guide you on the appropriate number of treatment sessions, considering the current condition of your scar.

Q. Is the cigarette burn scar treatment very painful?

A. Anesthetic cream is applied before the treatment, which can help reduce pain. Individual differences may occur.

Q. What is the recovery period like after cigarette burn scar treatment?

A. Redness or tiny pinpoint bleeding that appears after treatment usually improves within 1-2 days. However, the recovery period may vary for each individual depending on the scar's location or skin condition.

Q. Can skin booster treatments be combined with cigarette burn scar treatment?

Yes, it is possible. At our clinic, we combine skin boosters with a dedicated pumping tip during cigarette burn scar treatment. This can help increase the absorption efficiency of active ingredients.

Q. How long does it take to see changes after cigarette burn scar treatment?

A. Cigarette burn scar treatment typically shows more noticeable improvement when repeated 3 to 5 times at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. Results may vary depending on the individual's condition.

Q. Does the treatment approach for cigarette burn scars vary depending on their cause?

A. When treating scars, what's important is the depth and shape of the scar currently present on the skin, rather than the circumstances of its origin. Therefore, our clinic precisely diagnoses each patient's scar condition to establish a customized treatment plan.

Our Clinic's Values

At our clinic, we precisely adjust needle depth for each scar area and apply layering techniques, providing customized treatments that consider the unique characteristics of individual scars.

For all treatments, our clinic strictly adheres to the principle of using and discarding one tip per patient. Furthermore, we always strive to build patient trust through honest application of shots.

At our clinic, we use a dedicated pumping tip during treatment to efficiently aid the absorption of active ingredients. This considers the safety of the treatment process and can positively influence achieving desired results.

It is important to carefully examine each individual's condition. It is best to resolve any questions about the treatment through thorough consultation with the medical staff.
