Treatment and diagnostics scar removal in Seoul, South Korea

A scar is a highly unpleasant aesthetic defect that can significantly affect appearance. However, scars can be removed. Plastic surgery methods can remove them completely or make them much less noticeable.

Scar removal in Seoul is highly effective. Plastic surgeons here are highly qualified and use the most up-to-date methods to successfully remove different kinds of scars.

Types of scars

For treatment to be effective, specialists determine the nature of the scar — how it formed and how it should best be removed.

All types of scars are treated in South Korea:

• physiological scars that form when skin heals after injury,
• hypertrophic scars — dense, large, dark-colored scars,
• atrophic scars that appear after acne or furunculosis,
• keloid scars — scar-like overgrowth of the skin that outwardly resembles a tumor.

Removal methods

Depending on the type of scar, specialists may prescribe one of the following treatments:

1. laser removal with an erbium laser that “evaporates” the scar; the result is reinforced by laser coagulation of blood vessels,
2. surgical removal,
3. microdermabrasion, in which the scar is resurfaced with a special device until it is removed,
4. cryotherapy, in which scars are frozen with liquid nitrogen to make removal easier,
5. steroid injections that slow scar tissue growth and lead to its shrinkage.
