Juvgen for Pitted Acne Scars in Gangnam

Hello,
I’m Dr. Ki-beom Park,

Chief Medical Director of GU Clinic Gangnam.

When acne is active, it is easy to assume

that your skin will look smooth again once the inflammation subsides.

But when the redness fades and leaves behind

visible indentations, a different concern begins.

Red marks and post-acne pigmentation can often

be covered to some extent with makeup.

Pitted acne scars, however, create uneven skin texture

that casts visible shadows under bright lighting.

This is why many people searching for acne scar treatment in Gangnam,

Seoul initially consider procedures such as fractional laser or Pico fractional laser.

If several deep scars remain noticeable after multiple laser sessions,

it may be time to assess not only the skin’s surface but also the structure beneath each scar.

"Pitted Acne Scars Differ

in Shape and Depth"

Although they may all look like depressions in the skin,

atrophic acne scars are generally classified as ice-pick, boxcar, or rolling scars.

Ice-pick scars have narrow openings and extend deeply into the skin.

Boxcar scars tend to have wider, more clearly defined edges,

while rolling scars create broader, gently undulating depressions.

When acne inflammation reaches deeper layers of the skin,

it can damage the dermal tissue and alter the collagen structure during healing.

Fibrous adhesions may also develop beneath a scar.

These adhesions can tether the surface downward,

making the indentation appear deeper and more pronounced.

A single face may have several acne scar types at the same time.

For this reason, counting the scars alone is not enough to determine an appropriate treatment plan.

Their shape, depth, borders, degree of tethering, and the condition of

the surrounding skin should all be evaluated.

"Why Do Some Pitted Scars

Remain After Laser Treatment?"

Acne scar laser treatments deliver controlled energy to the skin to

encourage tissue remodeling and collagen production.

They may be used to improve skin texture and shallower scars.

However, not every pitted acne scar has the same depth or underlying structure.

Deep scars with strong tethering or sharply defined edges

may not respond as expected when treatment is focused mainly on resurfacing the skin.

Before concluding that laser treatment has not worked,

it is helpful to review which laser was used, the treatment settings,

and whether the remaining scars involve surface irregularities or deeper adhesions.

Laser procedures may be appropriate for broad, shallow scars,

while deeper depressions may require an approach that targets the base of the scar more directly.

When several scar types are present, different procedures may

be applied to individual areas or combined in stages.

"Juvgen Autologous Dermal

Regeneration in Gangnam"

Autologous dermal regeneration treatment is designed to

encourage the skin’s own repair response within depressed scar tissue.

Juvgen is an autologous dermal regeneration procedure

that introduces carbon dioxide gas and hyaluronic acid into the depressed area.

This creates space beneath the scar and is intended to

stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin during the healing process.

Some patients searching for Juvgen acne scar treatment in

Gangnam are concerned about widespread scarring.

Others have only a few deep scars on the cheeks or

temples that have remained noticeable for years.

Juvgen should not be understood as a procedure that simply fills

a depression in the same way as a dermal filler.

The treatment points and injection range should be planned after assessing

the depth of each scar, the extent of adhesion, and the thickness of the surrounding tissue.

Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur after treatment.

Recovery can vary depending on the skin condition and the extent of the treated area.

"What Should Be Assessed

Before Treating Old Acne Scars?"

When an acne scar has remained unchanged for several years,

you may wonder whether it is too old to treat.

The age of a scar is one consideration, but its current shape,

depth, and underlying structure are equally relevant when developing a treatment plan.

The appropriate approach may differ depending on whether there are only one or two deep scars,

several shallow depressions, or a combination of

pitted scars, redness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

If active breakouts are continuing, controlling the inflammation may need to

come first to reduce the risk of new scars developing.

If you are considering pitted acne scar treatment in Gangnam, Seoul,

begin with an assessment of the scar type and any underlying adhesions

rather than choosing a procedure by name.

Acne may be in the past, but the texture it leaves

behind can remain noticeable whenever you look in the mirror.

Understanding why the skin is still indented can help determine

which treatment approach is appropriate for your individual scar pattern.
