Removal of Raised Hypertrophic Scars After Burns, Surgery, or Acne [New Skin Laser]

Key Features of New Skin Laser (Pinhole Method) for Hypertrophic Scars

Improving scars with just laser treatment alone is often not enough.

New Skin Laser is a scar treatment method that delicately approaches by considering the characteristics of individual scars.

1. Customized Application of CO₂ and Er:YAG Lasers by Area

For wide or firm types of scars, a CO₂ laser is used to deliver stimulation to the required depth.

For relatively thin or sensitive areas, the Er:YAG laser allows for more precise treatment.

Considering the individual characteristics of each scar area, the medical staff directly selects the appropriate laser.

2. Precise Control of Interval and Size in Pinhole Treatment

In most cases, it is common to start treatment with 1-2mm intervals.

However, depending on the shape or size of the scar, the interval may be widened to 3mm or more, or adjusted more finely to proceed with the treatment.

The medical staff carefully assesses the scar's location, shape, and thickness to adjust the pinhole interval and depth.

3. Ablation Depth: Precise Design for Upper and Lower Dermis

We determine whether the laser should penetrate superficially, or if deeper stimulation is required.

whether to stimulate only the upper dermal layer,

or to reach the collagen layer in the lower dermis.

This treatment range is individually set according to the medical staff's professional judgment.

Sufficient experience and know-how play a crucial role in these detailed processes.

4. Avoiding Mechanical Procedures: Direct Design and Procedure by Medical Staff

The medical staff directly consults with the patient and then establishes a treatment plan.

They carefully check the condition of the scar lesion,

and delicately design the pinhole's position and interval to match the characteristics of each scar,

and finely adjust the laser's intensity as well, considering the patient's skin condition.

After the treatment, we continuously monitor the recovery process,

and provide detailed guidance on the necessity of any subsequent additional treatments and appropriate intervals.

Principle of New Skin Laser (Pinhole Method) for Hypertrophic Scars

New Skin Laser (Pinhole Method) is one of the treatment methods for managing hypertrophic scars.

This treatment uses CO₂ or Er:YAG laser inside raised scars to form tiny holes at 1-3mm intervals. This is based on the principle of breaking the connections of excessively proliferated collagen tissue.

As a result, it aims to make the internal structure of the scar more flexible, so that the scar gradually softens and alleviates.

This treatment penetrates deeper than general fractional laser procedures. It is a method that can be considered for the management of papular or hypertrophic scars that require stimulation deep into the dermis rather than simple surface ablation.
