Scar Regeneration Acupuncture [improves depressed scars]

Unique Approach to Subcision (Sae-sal-chim)

3-Step Integrated Method for Sae-sal-chim Procedure

Step 1: Surface Adhesion Release

Fibrous adhesions widely formed on the skin surface are precisely broken down using micro-needles.

By delicately releasing the micro-adhesions that were pulling down the scar area,

this helps to alleviate depressions on the skin surface.

Step 2: Addressing Deep Adhesion Tissue

Hard adhesion tissue deeply seated in the dermis

is gently released using a cannula, allowing for the smooth release of adhesions over a wide area.

This, compared to traditionally used needles, helps to reduce the burden of bruising and pain, enabling the procedure to be performed with less discomfort.

This treatment method can be effectively applied to improve a wide range of scars, such as rolling scars and boxcar scars.

It is an important process in reducing potential bruising and pain that may appear after the procedure.

Step 3: Promoting Skin Tissue Regeneration (Utilizing Micro-needles)

In the final stage of the procedure, micro-needles are used to create small stimuli in the tissue,

which can induce blood circulation and the influx of growth factors.

This can help activate fibroblasts and contribute to promoting collagen regeneration.

Various Methods Are Combined with Sae-sal-chim Procedure

This approach aims to achieve synergy in treatment effects and reduce the burden of recovery time.

① Concurrent PDRN Injection (Salmon DNA Injection)

During the Sae-sal-chim procedure, PDRN injections are applied concurrently.

This is expected to aid the wound healing process and reduce the burden of redness or pigmentation that may occur after the procedure.

As an important factor in aiding scar tissue regeneration, it is applied as a fundamental policy rather than an optional addition.

② Combined Erbium YAG Fraxel for Faster Recovery

Subcision is a procedure that improves the adhered tissue structure within the skin.

However, it may be difficult to improve the skin texture or fine details of the surface.

Therefore, Erbium YAG Fraxel is performed concurrently after the procedure.

This procedure acts on relatively shallow skin layers, which can help improve skin texture, pores, and minor depressions.

Through this, we can reduce the burden of recovery time after the procedure and expect overall treatment synergy.

Reasons to Consider Sae-sal-chim Procedure

Procedure Design Based on Anatomical Knowledge

It's not merely a procedure that emphasizes depth;

rather, we accurately diagnose where each patient's adhesions are located within the skin layers and in which direction they should be released for effectiveness,

then establish a customized treatment plan.

Utilization of Precise Treatment Tools

By comprehensively utilizing micro-needles, cannulas, and microneedles,

we focus on reducing the burden of bruising, swelling, and pain.

Combined PDRN and Fraxel Treatment

Combined treatment for skin recovery and treatment synergy

is considered not an optional addition, but a crucial part of the treatment process.

Treatment Plan Based on Accurate Diagnosis

It is difficult to say that subcision is suitable for all types of scars.

For scars that are determined to not require treatment, we do not recommend the procedure and provide honest guidance.

Our medical team believes it is important to accurately assess each patient's individual condition before recommending a procedure.

What is Saesalchim (Subcision)?

While scars may appear as depressed areas on the skin surface, the underlying tissue is often pulled downwards.

In reality, the visible depression often occurs when,

a fibrous band (fibrous tether) below the dermal layer strongly adheres and pulls the scar area downwards.

These adhered tissues must be released for the skin to return to its original position, allowing for improvement.

The procedure that separates these adhered areas is called Saesalchim, also known as subcision.

How Saesalchim (Subcision) Works

1. Release of Adhered Tissue (Release)

Fibrous bands located deep within the skin

are carefully separated using a fine needle or cannula.

→ This releases the skin structure that was being pulled downwards, allowing the depressed scar area to rise and improve.

2. Induction of Regeneration Signals through Micro-bleeding (Regeneration Signal)

The micro-bleeding that occurs during the process of releasing adhesions

acts as an important regeneration signal that promotes new collagen synthesis.

→ This increases fibroblast activity and creates a foundation for new skin tissue to regenerate around the scar.

3. Enhanced Blood Supply and Tissue Regeneration

If necessary, regenerative treatments such as microneedling or PDRN (DNA injection) can be combined.

This helps improve blood circulation to the affected area and allows regenerative cells to gather effectively.

As a result, both the wound healing process and collagen production can be expected simultaneously.

What types of scars can be considered for Saesalchim (Subcision) treatment?

Depressed scars on the forehead that appear as if stamped or indented

Pitted or uneven scars around the temples

Small, dot-like, or multiple pitted scars appearing around the nose

Complex depressed scars appearing in various forms on both cheeks

What is Multi-Subcision (Combined with existing 3-step Saesalchim and Erbium YAG Shouldering)?

This is an improved treatment method that adds the shouldering technique to existing subcision procedures.

In scar treatment, simply releasing the adhered tissue beneath the scar may not be sufficient.

Even if underlying adhesions are resolved with subcision, for scars with distinct boundaries and steep depths, smooth skin regeneration can be challenging.

The human body tends to reconstruct damaged areas to a similar height and texture as the surrounding skin during healing.

However, if the scar boundary drops sharply, this natural healing process can be difficult to achieve smoothly.

In such cases, a process of finely contouring (shouldering) the scar edges to make them more gradual can be applied.

By reducing the height difference with the surrounding skin through this process, when the inside of the scar fills in, it can connect more naturally with the surrounding skin, leading to a less noticeable result visually.

Indeed, the occurrence of cases where satisfactory improvement is not achieved with existing Saesalchim (Subcision) procedures alone is closely related to this very reason.

Even if underlying adhesions are resolved, if the boundary remains like a wall, it means that the skin regeneration process can ultimately be hindered. 

Therefore, the shouldering technique can be considered a meaningful approach that can complement the limitations of existing treatments for depressed scars with clear boundaries. 

Types of Scars Suitable for Multi-Subcision Treatment

1) Individuals who have previously received Saesalchim (Subcision) or other scar treatments but have not achieved satisfactory results

If you feel that the improvement in the scar area after subcision or laser treatment is not as significant as you had hoped

Even if the adhesion at the bottom of the scar has been simply released, scars with steep boundaries may make it difficult for the skin to naturally fill in.

For such scars, 'shouldering' treatment can help improvement by gently smoothing the boundaries.

2) If the scar type is deeply indented, with clear and steep boundaries 

For sharply indented shapes like boxcar scars, even if the skin attempts to form tissue from within to fill it,

the side boundaries remain firm like a wall, posing limitations to complete recovery.

By gently refining the scar boundaries with Er:YAG shouldering, you can expect a more natural transition as the height difference with the surrounding skin is reduced.

3) Those who wish to experience significant changes with fewer sessions than general 'new skin regeneration treatment'.

While general 'new skin regeneration treatment' requires consistent sessions multiple times to feel the effects, 'multi new skin regeneration treatment' comprehensively addresses the scar's base (adhesion), sides (boundaries), and top (surface).

Thanks to this comprehensive approach, you can experience changes in skin improvement with relatively fewer sessions.
