Hello, this is Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, the beginning of Coratherapy for scar removal.

Indented scars are not just an external issue but also a skin concern that can affect confidence and daily life.
There are various treatments available to address this, but among them, Coratherapy, a traditional Korean medicine scar treatment, has been gaining significant attention.
Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy stimulates damaged skin tissues to promote regeneration using specially designed needles for the procedure.

However, the use of needles often raises concerns about pain.
Questions like “How painful will it be?”, “Will the scars improve?”, and “Will the procedure affect my daily life?”
naturally come to mind.
Especially for those with sensitive skin or a low tolerance for pain,
such concerns can make them hesitant to proceed with the treatment.
Therefore, today, we would like to provide detailed information about the pain experienced during Coratherapy for those considering this treatment.

How painful is Coratherapy?

Coratherapy involves the use of needles on the skin, so there may be some pain.
However, the level of pain is similar to that of general acupuncture treatments
and less painful than RF needle treatments, Potenza, or Secret lasers used for scar treatments.
Of course, this varies from person to person.
Some patients feel only mild discomfort, while others may experience more intense pain.
These differences depend on factors such as individual pain tolerance, the sensitivity of the treatment area,
and the skill of the practitioner.
Even considering all these factors,
most patients describe the pain of Coratherapy as a slight prick, a pinching sensation, or a pulling feeling,
indicating that Coratherapy is not a highly painful procedure.

How is the pain managed?

Although the pain is not significant, Rodam takes various measures to minimize it.
A sufficient amount of anesthetic cream is applied before the procedure,
and the patient’s condition is continuously monitored during the treatment to manage pain.
Additionally, the thickness of the needle and the depth of the procedure are adjusted
based on the size and location of the scar and the condition of the skin to reduce pain.

What can patients do?

After Coratherapy, it is important for patients to take precautions to ensure smooth skin regeneration.

First, avoid touching the treated area with your hands to prevent irritation.
Second, keep the skin well-moisturized and avoid external irritants.
Third, strictly follow the post-treatment care instructions recommended by the Doctor to enhance the treatment’s effectiveness.

Since Coratherapy directly stimulates the skin, many people worry about the pain involved.
However, understanding the purpose and effects of the treatment,
and knowing that the pain experienced during the procedure is mostly temporary,
can help alleviate these fears.

At Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, we strive to create a comfortable environment for our patients to receive treatment.
We provide thorough consultations and explanations before the procedure to ensure a clear understanding of the treatment process,
thereby reducing anxiety and building trust.

Most importantly, remember that this treatment is a valuable process for you.
Before the indented scars on your face leave emotional scars,
why not consider treatment with Rodam?

We hope today’s post has helped alleviate some of your concerns about scars.
