Ice Pick Scar Treatment in Seoul | Deep Acne Scar Repair at BAILOR Clinic Sinsa

Introduction

Ice pick scars are one of the most stubborn types of acne scars — narrow, deep pits that reach into the dermis and are difficult to smooth with regular skincare. At BAILOR Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, our dermatology team provides customized multi-layered scar revision treatments combining lasers, microneedling, and regenerative injectables to repair skin texture and restore smoothness safely.

If you’ve struggled with deep, pitted scars from old acne, BAILOR Clinic offers advanced Korean scar revision programs that deliver visible improvement and lasting results.

What Are Ice Pick Scars?

Ice pick scars are tiny but deep holes in the skin, often caused by severe or cystic acne. They form when inflammation damages collagen fibers during the healing process, leaving narrow indentations that extend below the skin surface.

Characteristics:

Small, deep, and narrow scars (like enlarged pores)
Common on cheeks and temples
Do not improve easily with surface peels or creams

Because of their depth, professional medical treatment is required to rebuild collagen and lift the skin from within.

Best Ice Pick Scar Treatments in Korea

1. TCA CROSS (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars)

TCA CROSS is a targeted chemical peel technique that uses high-concentration trichloroacetic acid applied directly inside each scar.
It stimulates collagen remodeling from the base of the scar, gradually lifting and tightening the area.

Benefits:

Ideal for very deep, narrow scars
Safe for all skin tones
Improves texture with each session

Downtime: Mild redness or flaking for 2–3 days.

2. Laser Resurfacing (CO₂, Er:YAG, or Pico Laser)

Korean clinics often combine fractional lasers with regenerative boosters to rebuild collagen and smooth uneven texture.

Options at BAILOR Clinic:

CO₂ Fractional Laser: Targets deeper skin layers for collagen regeneration.
Pico Laser: Improves scar edges and pigmentation with less downtime.
Genesis Laser: Gently resurfaces and refines skin tone after scar repair.

💡 Our doctors often combine TCA CROSS + CO₂ Laser for maximum scar depth improvement.

3. Microneedling & RF Microneedling (Secret RF / Potenza)

Microneedling delivers controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen, while RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy to tighten deeper layers.

Benefits:

Gradual improvement in skin texture and firmness
Safe for enlarged pores, shallow scars, and uneven tone
Minimal downtime compared to full resurfacing

4. Regenerative Injections (Rejuran Healer / PDRN / Juvelook)

After resurfacing, BAILOR Clinic often uses skin-healing injectables to boost recovery and encourage collagen growth.

Best options:

Rejuran Healer (PDRN): Repairs damaged dermal tissue.
Juvelook: Adds volume and elasticity for smoother texture.
Exosome Therapy: Enhances regeneration and calms inflammation.

These treatments support long-term healing and help prevent post-laser pigmentation.

5. Subcision (for Tethered Scars)

If the ice pick scar is “anchored” to deeper tissue, subcision can be performed to release the fibrous bands.
This helps the skin surface lift and flatten over time, often followed by fillers or laser resurfacing for best results.
