Acne is a common skin condition that most people encounter at some point, particularly during puberty or periods of high stress. Redness and uneven skin texture caused by acne can significantly undermine self-confidence. However, the real challenge often lies not in the acne itself but in the scars it leaves behind. Deep, pitted scars such as boxcar or rolling types are notoriously resistant to natural healing, and even repeated laser treatments often deliver limited results, leaving patients frustrated. When repeated procedures fail to deliver, it may be time to reassess the treatment approach rather than simply increasing the number of sessions.

To effectively treat acne scars, understanding their root cause is essential. Acne scars form when persistent or recurrent inflammation damages the dermal layer of the skin, leading to tissue adhesion. This adhesion pulls the skin downward, forming depressed, pitted scars. Addressing this structural issue is critical. Among emerging methods, a Korean therapy known as 'Saesalchim Cora Therapy' has gained attention for its innovative approach, rooted in traditional Korean medicine.

Saesalchim Cora Therapy uses fine incision needles to physically separate adhered tissue deep within the skin, creating space and stimulating the area. This process enhances blood flow, activating the skin’s natural regenerative capacity to gradually fill in depressed scars. Unlike fillers or injectable treatments, this therapy avoids pharmaceuticals, relying instead on the body’s own healing mechanisms. By promoting tissue regeneration, this therapy minimizes the risk of scar recurrence. In some cases, combining the therapy with a Saesal Booster containing PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) can accelerate cell regeneration while also improving redness and skin texture.

The therapy’s growing reputation has drawn international attention, with an increasing number of overseas patients traveling to Korea specifically for this treatment.

Surface-level treatments alone are often insufficient to fully resolve acne scars. A comprehensive approach that resolves internal tissue adhesion and boosts the skin’s natural regenerative abilities is necessary. However, even with a clinically validated treatment like Saesalchim Cora Therapy, outcomes can vary depending on individual skin conditions and scar types. Personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific skin condition and scar type are essential for optimal results.
