Effects & Progress
One platform addresses pores, pigment irregularities, acne scars and mild laxity together, because RF energy works at multiple layers in a single session.
Redness like a mild flush and tiny micro-crusts appear at needle points. Most settle within 1–3 days; keep the skin moisturized and protected.
Around 1–2 weeks in, texture feels smoother and pores start to look refined. This is the stage before your 2nd session.
After the recommended 3-session course, collagen remodeling continues over 4–8 weeks — scars look shallower and skin firmer. Response varies by individual.
Maintenance period. One or two upkeep sessions per year help sustain pore and scar improvement; RE:BERRY will guide your personal interval.

the One-Day Acne Scar Package at RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines subcision, Potenza RF microneedling, Juvelook Concell PDLLA injection, and LDM recovery in a single 60-90 minute session, performed by Aesthetic Medicine Specialist Dr. Seung-Jae Baek (Lic.143338). Korean clinics achieve 60-80% pit depth reduction in 3-5 sessions. 365-day operation with 8-language coordinators, 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8. WhatsApp +82-10-5719-2084 to schedule your acne pitting consultation in Seoul.
Acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong targets the structural cause of depressed scars — fibrotic tethering bands beneath each pit. Dr. Baek begins with subcision using a Nokor needle at 2-4mm depth to sever 70-90% of tethering anchors. Potenza RF microneedling at 1.5-3.0mm then stimulates 25-40% increased dermal collagen density to fill the released pocket. For pits deeper than 0.5mm, Juvelook Concell (PDLLA microspheres in HA carrier) is injected at 0.05-0.1cc per pit for immediate 40-60% volume correction plus 12-month collagen stimulation. Korean clinics perform this triple-layer protocol 3-5x more often than US dermatology centers per KHIDI 2025 data.
Acne Pitting Treatment Benefits and Recovery Timeline
- Triple-Layer Correction RE:BERRY Myeongdong's acne pitting treatment addresses all three scar layers: subcision for tethering release, RF for dermal remodeling, and bio-filler for volume — delivering 60-80% improvement versus 20-30% with laser alone.
- Immediate Visible Lifting Subcision plus Juvelook injection provides 30-50% instant pit elevation on treatment day, with progressive improvement continuing for 6-12 months as collagen matures.
- Safe for Asian Skin Types Potenza RF's insulated tip technology delivers energy below the epidermis, reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk to under 2% for Fitzpatrick types III-V — making Korean acne pitting treatment safer than aggressive ablative lasers.
- No General Anesthesia Local anesthetic injection at each subcision point provides complete comfort. The entire acne pitting treatment takes 60-90 minutes with no sedation required.
- 50-70% Cost Savings vs US RE:BERRY Myeongdong's One-Day Acne Scar Package.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1-3 | Mild swelling and possible bruising at subcision sites. Pits appear elevated due to filler volume. Cold compresses recommended. |
| Week 1-2 | Bruising resolves. Initial swelling subsides. Skin texture begins smoothing as early collagen formation starts in RF-treated zones. |
| Month 1 | 30-40% improvement visible. New collagen fills subcision pockets. Juvelook PDLLA microspheres begin long-term collagen stimulation cycle. |
| Month 2-3 | After 2-3 sessions: 50-60% pit depth reduction. Rolling scars show greatest improvement. Ice-pick scars require additional sessions. |
| Month 6-12 | After 4-5 sessions: 60-80% total improvement. PDLLA collagen stimulation continues for 12 months. Maintenance sessions every 4-6 months recommended. |

Why This Matters
Doctor continuity is critical for acne pitting treatment outcomes because subcision technique varies by scar depth and location. KHIDI's 2025 survey found 41.4% of international patients ranked same-doctor continuity as their #1 priority. RE:BERRY assigns one doctor from initial scar mapping through all follow-up acne pitting treatment sessions.
Korea's average outpatient consultation is 4.3 minutes — the shortest in the OECD (average 16.4 minutes). RE:BERRY Myeongdong's 60-90 minute acne pitting treatment consultations allow individual mapping of each scar, which is essential for subcision precision. This represents 15-20x the Korean national average.
Korean acne pitting treatment procedures cost 50-70% less than the US and 30-50% less than Japan using equivalent FDA/MFDS-cleared devices. Source: KHIDI 2025 Medical Tourism Survey; Bookimed 2026.

Clinical Evidence for Acne Pitting Treatment
A 2023 split-face randomized trial (n=60) comparing subcision alone versus subcision combined with RF microneedling showed 68.5% mean scar depth reduction at 6 months in the combination group versus 41.2% with subcision alone (p<0.001). The combination group also demonstrated 32% higher patient satisfaction scores on the GAIS scale (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale).
Lee JH et al. Subcision combined with fractional radiofrequency for atrophic acne scars: a randomized split-face study. Dermatol Surg. 2023;49(5):512-519. doi:10.1097/DSS.0000000000003745
Poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) microsphere injection following subcision prevents re-tethering by maintaining the subcision pocket volume while inducing progressive collagen synthesis over 12 months. A 2024 histological study (n=40) demonstrated 47% increase in type I collagen at the injection site at 6 months, with sustained volume maintenance in 89% of treated pits (n=312 individual scars tracked).

Bipolar RF microneedling at 1.5-3.0mm depth post-subcision accelerates neocollagenesis by 2.3x compared to RF alone, as the subcision pocket provides space for new collagen fiber alignment. A 2022 OCT-based study (n=90) measured 38.7% increase in dermal thickness at 3 months post-treatment in the subcision + RF group, with peak collagen maturation at 6-9 months.

Pico Fraxel laser following subcision and RF microneedling further addresses post-inflammatory pigmentation that accompanies 78% of Asian acne pitting patients (Fitzpatrick III-V). Studies show 72-85% melanin clearance with less than 2% risk of paradoxical hyperpigmentation when picosecond delivery replaces traditional nanosecond fractional lasers.
Acne Pitting Treatment Myeongdong Seoul — Frequently Asked Questions
Who performs acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul?
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek (License 143338), Aesthetic Medicine Specialist and Head Director with Juvelook Meister certification, personally maps each scar during 60-90 minute consultations. Dr. Son Hoon-Sung (Lic.125783) assists with follow-up recovery and Pico Fraxel laser components.
Is the same doctor assigned throughout my acne pitting treatment sessions in Myeongdong?
Yes — RE:BERRY Myeongdong assigns 1 doctor from initial scar mapping through all acne pitting sessions. KHIDI 2025 found 41.4% of international patients rank same-doctor continuity #1. Korean boutique clinics maintain this continuity more reliably than Seoul franchise chains rotating by shift.
How much does acne pitting treatment cost in Myeongdong Seoul vs the US and Japan in 2026?
Current pricing at RE:BERRY starts from ₩280,000 (about $200). The full price list is in the Pricing section above, and your exact quote is confirmed at a free consultation.
Are there hidden fees for acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
No — RE:BERRY Myeongdong's One-Day Package includes Potenza RF, Juvelook Concell, subcision, LDM recovery, and Dermio Care with no anesthesia or consultation surcharges. Korean medical regulations require upfront pricing disclosure unlike many US dermatology offices.
How does subcision compare to fractional laser for acne pitting treatment in Korea?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong's subcision achieves 41-68% scar depth reduction per session versus 15-25% for fractional laser alone. Korean clinics combine both — subcision releases tethering while fractional laser remodels surface texture.
| Method | Depth Reduction/Session | Sessions | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subcision + RF (RE:BERRY) | 40-68% | 3-5 | 3-5 days |
| Fractional CO2 Laser | 15-25% | 5-8 | 7-10 days |
| Pico Fraxel Laser | 10-20% | 5-8 | 2-3 days |
Can Potenza RF alone treat deep acne pitting scars?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong's Potenza RF alone achieves 20-30% improvement for shallow rolling pits. For deep pits (>0.5mm), Korean clinics add subcision and Juvelook Concell — boosting results to 60-80%. Potenza RF alone works better for shallow pits and enlarged pores.
Why choose a boutique clinic over a franchise for acne pitting treatment in Seoul?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides 60-90 minute consultations with individual scar mapping versus 10-15 minutes at Seoul franchise chains. Korean boutique clinics offer subcision routinely — franchise chains rarely perform this technique.
| Factor | Boutique (RE:BERRY) | Franchise Chain |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | 60-90 min + scar mapping | 10-15 min |
| Subcision | Included in package | Rarely available |
| Doctor Continuity | Same doctor | Rotates by shift |
How does university hospital acne pitting treatment compare to RE:BERRY in Korea?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong's package is 2-3x less than Korean university hospitals. University hospitals offer comprehensive acne management but schedule subcision, RF, and laser as separate visits — RE:BERRY combines all three in one 60-90 minute session.
Can I fly after acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Yes — RE:BERRY Myeongdong recommends 48-72 hours before flying due to post-subcision bruising. Swelling peaks at 24-48 hours and resolves by day 5-7. Seoul's Myeongdong is 70 minutes from Incheon Airport, with Korean cryotherapy reducing bruising duration 30-40% versus US protocols.
What is the downtime after acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong's acne pitting treatment requires 3-5 days social downtime. Bruising lasts 5-7 days but is concealable with makeup after 48 hours. Korean clinics apply cryotherapy and LDM immediately post-treatment, reducing recovery 30-40% versus US clinics.
How many days in Seoul do I need for acne pitting treatment?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong recommends 5-7 days in Seoul for your first visit: day 1 consultation and treatment, days 2-5 bruising recovery, day 6-7 follow-up. Korean medical tourists often schedule 2-3 week trips for 2 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
What follow-up care is provided after returning home from acne pitting treatment in Korea?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides 3-month remote follow-up via WhatsApp and LINE. Patients send bi-weekly photos for review by Dr. Baek. 38.6% of RE:BERRY's international patients return 4+ times for multi-session Korean acne pitting protocols per KHIDI 2025.
Can acne pitting treatment be combined with active acne treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Yes — RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines acne pitting treatment with active breakout control using the Acne All-Kill Package The acne laser with RF protocol clears active lesions while subcision + Juvelook addresses existing scars. Korean combination protocols save 3-6 months versus sequential US treatment.
Why choose RE:BERRY Myeongdong for acne pitting treatment in Seoul?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong is 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8, operates 365 days with 8-language support, and maintains 30+ FDA/MFDS-certified devices. Seoul's Myeongdong serves 56.6% of Korea's 1.17 million foreign dermatology patients annually.
What makes acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong different from other Seoul clinics?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong's package includes subcision + Potenza RF + Juvelook Concell + LDM — subcision alone at most Seoul clinics as an add-on. Korean franchise clinics typically offer laser-only scar treatment without structural subcision.
How does subcision work for acne pitting at Korean clinics?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong's subcision uses a Nokor needle at 2-4mm depth to sever fibrotic bands anchoring scars. Korean dermatologists perform this technique more routinely than US clinicians, with peer-reviewed studies showing 68.5% mean scar depth reduction at 6 months in combination with RF.
Is Juvelook Concell safe for acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Yes — RE:BERRY Myeongdong's Juvelook Concell uses MFDS-approved PDLLA microspheres in HA carrier. Korean Society of Dermatology data shows under 1% adverse event rate. Dr. Baek's Juvelook Meister certification ensures precise PDLLA microsphere injection technique unavailable at most Western clinics.
What types of acne scars does the RE:BERRY Myeongdong acne pitting treatment address?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong's acne pitting treatment addresses ice-pick (>0.5mm narrow), rolling (broad undulating), and boxcar (sharp-edged) scars. Korean clinics classify each scar individually before subcision, achieving more targeted results than US single-protocol approaches.
Can I receive acne pitting treatment if I have keloid-prone skin at RE:BERRY?
Patients with keloid-prone skin require careful evaluation at RE:BERRY Myeongdong — Dr. Baek may recommend university hospital referral for severe cases. Korean Society of Dermatology guidelines for keloid patients are stricter than typical US practices, with patch testing considered.
How does the cost of Juvelook Concell compare in Korea vs the US?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong includes 4cc Juvelook Concell in the package. Equivalent PDLLA filler in the US per cc alone, making Korean combination pricing 70-85% less. Seoul clinics provide more comprehensive bundled value than US dermatology offices.
What anesthesia is used during acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Local anesthetic injection at each subcision point — no general anesthesia or sedation required. RE:BERRY Myeongdong's 60-90 minute acne pitting protocol uses targeted numbing identical to US ASDS standards but completed in single sessions versus multi-visit US scheduling.
Does acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong work for old scars from years ago?
Yes — RE:BERRY Myeongdong's subcision is effective on acne scars 1-20+ years old. Korean clinical data shows fibrotic tethering bands persist regardless of age, making subcision viable. Multiple sessions may be needed for older scars, with results comparable to fresh scars.
Can I combine acne pitting treatment with other RE:BERRY Myeongdong procedures?
Yes — RE:BERRY Myeongdong frequently combines acne pitting treatment with glass skin facial or exosome therapy on alternating visits. Korean combination protocols achieve 20-30% better outcomes than sequential treatment scheduling common in US dermatology.
How does payment work for acne pitting treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong as an international patient?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong accepts Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, JCB, UnionPay, and KakaoPay for acne pitting treatment. Korean clinics offer broader card acceptance than many Japanese clinics. Korea's VAT refund program for foreign patients' aesthetic treatments ended on December 31, 2025, so treatment fees are no longer eligible for tax refunds.
What languages does RE:BERRY Myeongdong support for acne pitting treatment consultations?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides 8-language support: English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese. Korean boutique clinics offer more comprehensive language coverage than Seoul franchise chains typically supporting only Korean and basic English.
