How Subcision for Scars in Myeongdong Works at RE:BERRY
A step-by-step guide to the subcision scar treatment protocol at our Myeongdong location.
Walk-In or Pre-Booked Scar Consultation
Arrive at RE:BERRY Myeongdong (5 Myeongdong 10-gil, 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8) for your consultation. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek uses cross-lighting and high-resolution dermoscopy to classify each scar — rolling, boxcar, or icepick — and identify tethering depth. Your multilingual coordinator explains the treatment plan in your language. The subcision procedure can begin same-day in 85% of cases after this assessment. Pre-consultation photos via WhatsApp are recommended to speed the process.
Numbing & Subcision Needle Release
Topical anesthetic cream is applied for 30 minutes, followed by precise local lidocaine injections at each scar site. Dr. Baek inserts an 18-gauge or Nokor needle beneath each rolling scar at a 15-30 degree angle, performing fan-shaped sweeps to sever the fibrotic bands pulling the skin surface downward. Each scar receives 3-5 passes. The procedure takes 20-40 minutes for 8-15 scars. Patients feel only pressure sensations after adequate numbing. The subcision technique at RE:BERRY uses the same approach published in JAMA Dermatology for maximum evidence-based efficacy.
Juvelook 4cc Injection & Pico Fraxel Laser
Immediately post-subcision, Juvelook PDLLA microspheres (4cc) are injected into each released scar pocket. This dual-action filler provides instant volume while stimulating natural collagen production over 6-12 months, preventing fibrous bands from re-forming. Pico Fraxel laser then targets the scar surface margins, using photoacoustic energy to remodel texture without thermal damage. The combination of deep subcision, mid-dermal filler, and surface laser addresses all 3 layers of scar pathology. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Pico laser system is calibrated for minimal post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk.
Cryotherapy, Aftercare & Follow-Up Schedule
Cryotherapy is applied immediately to control post-procedure swelling and reduce bruising by approximately 40%. Dr. Hoon-Sung Son oversees the aftercare protocol including sunscreen application and wound care instructions provided in 8 languages. Follow-up sessions are scheduled at 4-6 week intervals. International patients receive remote photo monitoring via WhatsApp or LINE between visits. Dermio Care LED therapy is available as an add-on for accelerated recovery.

Evidence-Based Acne Scar Subcision at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Peer-reviewed research supporting the subcision combination protocols performed at our Myeongdong clinic.
Subcision Mechanism: Breaking the Tethering Cycle
Rolling acne scars result from abnormal wound healing where excess collagen cross-links form fibrotic bands connecting the dermis to subcutaneous tissue. These tethering bands exert downward traction on the skin surface, creating the characteristic undulating depressions visible under side-lighting. The subcision technique at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses a needle-based approach to mechanically sever these bands, releasing the skin surface and creating a controlled sub-dermal wound that stimulates new collagen formation. Orentreich and Orentreich originally described this technique in 1995, documenting significant improvement in depressed cutaneous scars using a tribeveled needle.
Subcision Plus Filler: Superior to Either Alone
The landmark JAMA Dermatology trial by Alam et al. (2018) established that subcision combined with hyaluronic acid filler produces statistically superior outcomes compared to subcision alone for rolling acne scars. In this split-face randomized controlled study, 75% of combination-treated scars achieved marked improvement versus 52% with subcision only. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, we use Juvelook PDLLA microspheres rather than hyaluronic acid because PDLLA provides both immediate filling and sustained collagen stimulation lasting 6-12 months, potentially surpassing the outcomes seen with HA fillers that absorb within 6-9 months.
Fractional Picosecond Laser for Scar Texture Refinement
While subcision addresses deep tethering and filler provides volumetric support, the scar surface requires separate treatment. Fractional picosecond lasers create laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) zones in the epidermis and superficial dermis, triggering wound healing through a photoacoustic rather than thermal mechanism. Bernstein et al. (2017) demonstrated that fractional picosecond 755nm laser achieved clinically significant improvement in acne scars across all Fitzpatrick skin types with minimal adverse events. The low thermal footprint makes it exceptionally safe for the Asian patient population treated at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Cryotherapy as a Post-Subcision Recovery Accelerator
Post-subcision cryotherapy applied at RE:BERRY Myeongdong constricts blood vessels at the treated sites, reducing hematoma formation and inflammatory swelling. Dashore et al. demonstrated that applying ice compression immediately after subcision reduced ecchymosis duration by approximately 35-40% compared to untreated controls. This is clinically significant for international patients visiting Myeongdong who need to minimize visible downtime before sightseeing or returning to their home countries.

What Patients Say About Acne Scar Subcision at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I visited RE:BERRY Myeongdong during a 4-day trip to Seoul. Got subcision with Juvelook on day 1, and by day 3 the bruising was faint enough to cover with mineral foundation. The location near Myeongdong Station was perfect — I could walk to shopping afterward.”
“After 5 years of acne scars, 3 sessions of subcision at RE:BERRY Myeongdong changed my skin. Dr. Baek’s Juvelook injection technique prevented my scars from sinking back. The WhatsApp follow-up between my visits was incredibly helpful.”
“My coordinator spoke fluent Japanese and explained every step. The combination of subcision plus Pico Fraxel in one visit was something my clinic in Tokyo doesn’t offer. The Myeongdong location made it easy to get here from my hotel.”
