Treatment Approach of Hypertrophic Scar New Skin Laser (Pinhole Technique)

It may be difficult to expect satisfactory improvement for scars with only one specific laser.

New Skin Laser is a delicately planned treatment method that considers the individual characteristics of each scar.

1. Laser Selection Considering the Characteristics of the Treatment Area (CO₂ or Er:YAG)

For wide or hardened scars, a CO₂ laser can be used to provide deep stimulation to the tissue.

Conversely, for thin and sensitive skin areas, the treatment is performed with greater precision using an Er:YAG laser.

Carefully considering the characteristics of each scar area, the director (doctor) personally selects the type of laser.

2. Precise Adjustment of Pinhole Interval and Size

Generally, it is common to perform the treatment with intervals between 1mm and 2mm.

However, depending on the individual condition of the scar, it can be applied widely at 3mm or more, or sometimes the treatment interval can be adjusted more finely.

The director (doctor) personally assesses the exact location, shape, and thickness of the scar, and delicately adjusts the interval and depth of the pinholes.

3. Precise Adjustment of Dermal Layer Stimulation Depth

How deeply the laser will penetrate into the dermal layer,

it may target only the upper part of the skin's dermis,

or it may deeply stimulate the collagen layer in the lower dermis.

This treatment depth and scope are entirely based on the director's (doctor's) medical judgment and are individually set.

This is a treatment design method that is only possible with sufficient experience and medical understanding.

4. Customized Approach: From Design to Treatment, Performed Directly by the Director (Doctor)

After an in-depth consultation with each individual patient, the director (doctor) personally establishes the treatment plan.

thoroughly checking the condition of the lesion in the treatment area,

meticulously designing the exact location and interval of the pinholes according to the characteristics of each scar,

The laser intensity is also adjusted according to the patient's skin sensitivity and scar condition.

After the treatment, the recovery process is carefully monitored,

and if necessary, detailed guidance is provided on the direction and appropriate interval for the next treatment.

What is Hypertrophic Scar New Skin Laser (Pinhole Technique)?

New Skin Laser (Pinhole Technique) generally

creates micro-channels at intervals of 1-3mm in hypertrophic (raised) scar tissue using a CO₂ or Er:YAG laser. During this process, the adhesion of excessively proliferated collagen tissue is released.

Through this, the scar structure gradually loosens, and the tissue can be expected to naturally flatten.

This treatment is not merely a method of shaving off the scar surface, but features penetration deep into the dermal layer to work. Therefore, for cases involving deep tissue changes, such as papular scars or hypertrophic scars, it is considered a suitable treatment method.
