Hello, this is Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, starting your journey to erase scars with Coratherapy.
Acne itself can be a significant source of stress, but even after time passes, the indented acne scars left behind often bring another layer of concern.
Especially when the skin surface becomes uneven or indented, it becomes challenging to maintain smooth skin texture.
These acne scars occur when skin tissue is damaged due to severe inflammation or improper care,
and they are categorized into types such as ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.
Among these, rolling scars appear as broadly indented areas, requiring a more meticulous approach during treatment.

In this article, we will delve into the causes and characteristics of rolling scars
and introduce Coratherapy, an effective treatment method known for aiding skin regeneration.

What are Rolling Scars? Definition of Rolling Scars

First, let me explain rolling scars in detail.
Rolling scars are a type of acne scars
that appear as broadly indented and uneven areas on the skin.
They often have indistinct boundaries and appear to blend smoothly,
emphasizing width rather than depth.
This curved form of scarring makes the skin texture appear rough,
and shadows are cast when light hits the skin, making them more noticeable and causing many people to feel stressed about their appearance.

These scars occur when inflammatory acne damages the dermis layer of the skin,
and during the healing process, collagen fails to regenerate evenly.
In other words, during the skin’s self-repair process, tissues are not evenly filled,
leaving behind uneven marks.

Characteristics of Rolling Scars

To elaborate further on the characteristics of rolling scars:
Rolling scars

– Appear as uneven, wave-like indentations on the skin
– Commonly occur on thicker skin areas such as the cheeks or jaw
– Result from fibrosis in the dermis layer, pulling the skin downward
– Cause minimal damage to the epidermis but make the skin appear more sunken due to reduced elasticity and poor blood circulation

In summary, rolling scars are broadly indented and spread over a wide area with shallow depth and indistinct boundaries.
Because the area requiring new tissue is ambiguous,
they are considered a challenging type of scar to treat.

Treatment Methods for Rolling Scars

Rolling scars have gentle and broad indentations, making natural healing difficult and requiring professional treatment.
Representative treatment methods include Coratherapy, micro-needling procedures, laser treatments, and fillers.

1. Coratherapy:
Coratherapy is a treatment method that promotes collagen production within the skin to repair damaged tissues, helping the skin regenerate naturally. Especially for rolling scars, where the skin is broadly indented, Coratherapy is effective in smoothing the skin texture and restoring elasticity. By inducing a natural regeneration process, it offers fundamental improvement rather than merely refining the surface. Consistent care and combined treatments can help alleviate scars.

2. Micro-needling procedures:
This method stimulates collagen production by creating micro-injuries on the skin, aiding in improving skin texture and elasticity. While its standalone effect on deep scars may be limited, combining it with Coratherapy or laser treatments can yield synergistic effects.

3. Laser treatments:
Using treatments like Fraxel or CO2 laser, this method applies heat stimulation to the skin to induce regeneration and smoothen the surface. It also helps reduce pigmentation and maximizes scar improvement when combined with subcision or micro-needling.

4. Filler treatments:
By injecting fillers into sunken areas, this method provides immediate improvement. However, as fillers are absorbed over time, their long-term effects are limited, and they are often used as a supplementary treatment alongside other methods.

Of course, rolling scars can improve more quickly when treated with a combination of methods.
However, if you can only undergo one treatment, we recommend trying Coratherapy.

Coratherapy

The reason Coratherapy is recommended for treating rolling scars is
that unlike other procedures, it directly activates collagen production within the skin, aiding fundamental regeneration.
While subcision or fillers rely on breaking structures or filling areas, resulting in temporary or supplementary effects,
Coratherapy creates an environment where the skin can heal itself, allowing for long-term improvement.
In other words, compared to surface-focused lasers or short-term fillers, Coratherapy
enhances the skin’s natural regenerative power, leading to natural and lasting changes,
making it the most effective approach.
