Acne Scar
Before treating a scar, we first look at what makes it different.
Skin concerns that share a name can still call for entirely different approaches, depending on their shape, depth, and the condition and character of the skin.
Rather than reducing a visible problem to a single label, we distinguish the small differences with care and find the direction of treatment that fits each of them.
Scars that look alike can still call for different directions of treatment.
We examine not only the color, shape, and depth of a scar, but also the sensitivity and texture of the skin around it.
When the character of a scar differs, the treatment it needs differs too, and so does the change that can be expected afterward.
Dr. Park's Perspective
From a scar's color and shape to its depth and firmness
Because every scar differs in shape, depth, and skin condition, it is a field that resists a one-size-fits-all protocol.Because every scar differs in shape, depth, and skin condition, it is a field that resists a one-size-fits-all protocol.
So more than any single device, much of it comes down to what the doctor sees and judges firsthand.
Scars once thought unlikely to improve now often do, as treatment methods have advanced considerably.
Above all, many people have carried the stress of their scars for a long time, so it is deeply rewarding to see those worries actually improve.
We read many factors — whether it is red or white, its shape, how deeply it is indented, and whether it feels firm or soft to the touch.We read many factors — whether it is red or white, its shape, how deeply it is indented, and whether it feels firm or soft to the touch.
When the shape of a scar differs, the method differs too, and even the same treatment can lead to different expected results.
So just as important as deciding the method is explaining in advance how much this patient can realistically improve.
Drawing on my own experience together with evidence from research and study, I try to explain the results you can realistically expect.
