Hypertrophic Scar New Skin Laser (Pinhole Technique), The Importance of Customized Treatment

Scar treatment may not achieve desired results simply by using laser equipment.

New Skin Laser treatment is a sophisticated method that carefully considers each patient's unique scar characteristics.

1. Selecting the Appropriate Equipment for Each Area Among CO₂ Laser and Er:YAG Laser

For wide or firm scars, a CO₂ laser is used to provide the necessary stimulation to the skin.

On the other hand, for areas with thin or sensitive skin, it is better to approach more delicately with an Er:YAG laser.

Thus, the medical team directly assesses the characteristics of each scarred area and selects the appropriate laser.

2. The Spacing and Size of Pinholes, Adjusted to Individual Scars

Generally, during pinhole treatment, a spacing of about 1-2mm is applied as a standard.

However, depending on the specific condition of the scar, the pinhole spacing may be widened to 3mm or more, or sometimes treated more densely.

The medical team carefully confirms the exact location, shape, and thickness of the scar, and adjusts the spacing and depth of the pinholes.

3. Determining the Ablation Depth, Precise Planning for Upper and Lower Dermis

During treatment, it is crucial to decide whether to irradiate the laser superficially or stimulate more deeply.

This involves whether to stimulate only the upper layer of the dermis,

or to reach the collagen layer of the lower dermis.

Such treatment scope is individually set for each patient based on the medical judgment of the medical team.

This is only possible with experienced clinical expertise and professionalism.

4. Personalized Treatment – Direct Execution by the Medical Team from Design to Completion

The medical team directly consults with the patient about their condition and proceeds with the treatment.

The scar lesions are carefully examined with the naked eye,

and the position and spacing of the pinholes are meticulously planned according to the shape of each scar.

Furthermore, the laser intensity is delicately adjusted to suit the patient's skin condition.

The recovery process after treatment is also continuously monitored,

and detailed explanations are provided regarding the need for any subsequent additional treatments or appropriate treatment intervals.

Explanation of Hypertrophic Scar New Skin Laser (Pinhole Technique)

New Skin Laser (Pinhole Technique)

Within raised hypertrophic scars, micro-holes are created at 1-3mm intervals using a CO₂ or Er:YAG laser. This gently releases the adhesions of excessively proliferated collagen tissue.

This process alleviates the firm structure of the scar, making it a treatment that can be expected to gradually soften and flatten the scar over time.

Unlike conventional superficial ablative methods, this treatment delivers energy deep into the dermal layer. Therefore, it can be considered for cases requiring deep access, such as papular or hypertrophic scars.
