Hello, this is Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, the beginning of Coratherapy for scar removal.
Scars left on the face are a concern for everyone.
Acne not only causes stress when it occurs,
but the scars it leaves behind can become a much longer-lasting worry.
In particular, depressed acne scars can be categorized into three main types,
and today, we will focus on the most common type, boxcar scars,
and explore the treatment methods for them.

What are boxcar scars?

Boxcar scars are a type of depressed acne scars that commonly appear after acne.
They are characterized by their distinct rectangular shape with flat, sunken bases.
They often occur on wide areas such as the cheeks or temples,
and their appearance becomes more pronounced when light casts shadows on them.
As a result, they are difficult to conceal with makeup, and the uneven skin texture often causes aesthetic stress.

Compared to other types of scars, boxcar scars are not as deep and narrow as ice pick scars,
but they are wide and angular, making them more noticeable.
Unlike rolling scars, which have blurred, wavy edges, boxcar scars have sharp, nearly perpendicular edges that make them stand out.
These prominent boxcar scars occur when the dermis layer of the skin is damaged, and collagen regeneration does not proceed smoothly.
Since natural recovery is difficult, they are classified as a type of scar requiring professional treatment.

Boxcar Scar Treatment 1: Non-Ablative Fraxel + Needle-Free Injector

One treatment method for boxcar scars is the combination of non-ablative Fraxel and a needle-free injector.
Non-ablative Fraxel works by using thermal energy to release the adhesions beneath the scars,
while the needle-free injector delivers regenerative substances like Juvelook into the skin using jet pressure,
breaking down the scar walls or adhesions while simultaneously promoting regeneration.

The reason for combining these two treatments is that for depressed scars like boxcar scars, simply releasing the adhesions
or injecting regenerative substances alone is not sufficient for significant improvement.
Both releasing the adhesions and promoting regeneration need to occur simultaneously for effective scar improvement.
Therefore, when considering scar treatment at a clinic, it is important to combine these two procedures.
However, as these treatments involve the use of equipment, the effectiveness may vary depending on the performance of the devices.
It is also important to note that thick handpieces or parameters may make precise procedures challenging, so careful consideration is necessary.

Boxcar Scar Treatment 2: Coratherapy

So, what treatment should you choose if you want to simultaneously release adhesions and promote regeneration?
In that case, we recommend undergoing Coratherapy.
Coratherapy is particularly effective for treating boxcar scars because it simultaneously releases adhesions and promotes regeneration.
By using fine needles to directly stimulate the scarred areas and guide regenerative substances to gather there,
the process of breaking down the scar walls and inducing skin regeneration occurs at the same time.
This allows scars to improve more quickly and naturally,
and it offers the advantage of being more precise and focused on the desired areas compared to treatments that rely solely on equipment.

Additionally, Coratherapy is performed directly by a Doctor, which minimizes errors caused by equipment limitations,
and it can be tailored to the patient’s skin condition.
For boxcar scars, which have distinct and deeply sunken edges, simply releasing the adhesions is not enough.
Coratherapy maximizes scar improvement by breaking down adhesions while simultaneously promoting regeneration.
Therefore, if you are considering boxcar scar treatment, Coratherapy may be the better choice.

Since Coratherapy is a manually performed procedure, the skill of the practitioner greatly influences the outcome.
Therefore, it is important not to undergo treatment without proper research, even if the name is the same.
Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy, known as Coratherapy, was developed in 2006
and has the longest history among existing Coratherapy treatments.
With years of accumulated expertise and clinical experience, it has successfully treated numerous scars.
Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy goes beyond simply breaking down adhesions
and includes a unique process of physically lifting the skin during the treatment.
This allows regenerative substances to remain in place for a longer period, maximizing the regenerative effects on the scarred areas.
By not only breaking down adhesions but also physically lifting the skin,
it helps ensure that regenerative substances are stably positioned,
resulting in differentiated effects in both the speed and outcome of scar improvement.

If you are considering improving your boxcar scars through Coratherapy,
