Hello, this is Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, the beginning of Coratherapy for scar removal.
Chickenpox, a contagious disease that many people experience during childhood,
unfortunately, can leave permanent scars on the face.
Especially, chickenpox scars on the forehead or around the eyebrows are highly noticeable,
which can lower self-confidence regarding appearance and cause psychological stress.
Recently, Coratherapy, a traditional Korean medicine treatment, has been gaining attention as a solution to these concerns.
Today, we would like to explain the cause of chickenpox and share actual treatment cases to demonstrate the effectiveness and principles of Coratherapy,
guiding you toward scar treatment and healthy skin recovery.

Causes and Characteristics of Chickenpox

Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV),
which spreads easily from person to person through airborne droplets or direct contact.
The risk of infection increases with physical contact with others or staying in close spaces, so caution is necessary.
Chickenpox primarily affects individuals with weak immune systems,
making children, whose immune systems are not fully developed, the main targets.
However, this does not mean that adults are immune to infection.
In fact, adults tend to experience more severe symptoms compared to children when infected,
so those who have not been vaccinated or have never had chickenpox should be especially cautious.

Although chickenpox is a disease that generally resolves naturally,
if the blisters caused by chickenpox burst during management, they often leave scars.
Chickenpox scars are depressions or indentations that form as the skin heals rapidly,
and over time, the skin tissue hardens,
causing a noticeable texture difference as the pigmentation and pores disappear.
These depressed scars do not heal naturally and require medical intervention.
One such method is Coratherapy, a traditional Korean scar treatment.
The effectiveness of Coratherapy can be confirmed through the following case.

Case :: Chickenpox Scar Above Eyebrow from Childhood

History :: No Previous Treatment Experience

Report :: 7 Sessions of Coratherapy

The patient introduced today had been struggling for a long time with a chickenpox scar,
approximately 1.5cm in diameter, located just above the eyebrow since childhood.
Although the patient tried to conceal it with makeup or ignore it,
the depressed scar was clearly visible.
After much deliberation, the patient decided to undergo treatment in their 20s.
In particular, the patient was taking isotretinoin for acne treatment and
was curious about whether scar treatment was possible while on this medication.

To conclude, it is entirely possible to undergo Coratherapy while taking isotretinoin.
Generally, isotretinoin can affect skin regeneration,
so caution is needed when combining it with other skin treatments.
However, at Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, such factors are carefully considered,
ensuring safe treatment without major concerns.

The results of the treatment can be seen in the photos after the 5th and 7th sessions.
Starting from the 5th session, the depressed area began to fill significantly,
and the boundary with the surrounding skin became smoother.

Additionally, the final photo after the 7th session shows
that the scar has improved to the point where it is barely noticeable.
The scar has been restored to almost the same level as the original skin,
and the color difference has also been significantly reduced.
With the addition of finishing treatments, the scar can blend seamlessly with the surrounding normal skin,
achieving even better results.

This natural recovery is made possible by the treatment principles of Coratherapy.
Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy, which began in 2006, is a treatment for depressed scars
that activates the skin’s natural regenerative power to encourage new skin growth.
Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy uses specially designed needles during the procedure,
allowing for more precise stimulation of the boundary between the scar and normal skin.
This enables more effective and natural treatment of depressed scars,
and since the treatment promotes the growth of new skin,
the restored scar does not sink again.

Scars are not just an issue of appearance but can also significantly impact psychological well-being.
Scars on visible areas like the face can be particularly bothersome.
However, with appropriate treatment, improvement is possible,
so we encourage you not to worry alone and to consult with a professional.
