How Subcision Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A 4-step protocol delivering visible scar reduction in 60-90 minutes.
Skin Mapping & Scar Classification (10-15 min)
Head Director Dr. Baek Seung-Jae maps 15-40 depressed scars using side-lighting photography and classifies each as rolling (47%), boxcar (34%), or ice-pick (19%) per Jacob’s 2001 atrophic scar taxonomy. Topical lidocaine 23% cream applied 45 minutes pre-procedure.
Fibrous Band Release with 23-25G NoKor Cannula (20-30 min)
A 23-25G NoKor tri-bevel cannula is inserted 3-4mm under each scar and advanced in fan-shaped sweeps of 8-12 passes per scar at the dermo-subcutaneous junction, releasing fibrous bands. Average 15-40 scars addressed per session at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Juvelook 4cc PDLLA Injection (15 min)
4cc of Juvelook (poly-D,L-lactic acid at 100mg/mL concentration) injected into released scar tracts to prevent re-tethering and trigger gradual type-I collagen synthesis over 90-180 days. Retrograde threading at 1.5-2.0mm dermal depth per scar.
Pico Fraxel 1064nm + Cryotherapy (20 min)
Pico Fraxel at 1064nm with 450 picosecond pulses resurfaces epidermis (pulse density 30%, fluence 0.9-1.1 J/cm²), followed by 15-minute cryotherapy at -4°C to reduce erythema and bruising. Patients leave with a 24-48 hour downtime window.
What to Expect from Subcision at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
- Root-Cause Release: Frees fibrous bands at 2-4mm depth that lasers cannot reach – addresses scar tethering directly.
- Juvelook Collagen Boost: PDLLA stimulates 38% type-I collagen increase at 90 days per 2023 KDA data.
- Rolling Scar Correction: Rolling scars show 62-78% depth reduction after 2-3 sessions in published Korean cohorts.
- Single-Day Protocol: Subcision + Juvelook + Pico Fraxel + Cryotherapy in one 60-90 minute visit.

Why This Matters
Doctor continuity affects scar release outcomes because depth decisions are nuanced. KHIDI 2025 Medical Tourism Survey shows 41.4% of Japanese patients rank same-doctor continuity as their #1 clinic priority. RE:BERRY Myeongdong assigns one doctor per patient from consultation through aftercare.
Korean dermatology clinics average 4.3 minutes per patient – the shortest in the OECD, where the average is 16.4 minutes (OECD Health Statistics 2023). RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers 60-90 minute consultations – 14-20x longer than the Korean average, critical for mapping 15-40 individual scars.
Seoul pricing for subcision combo protocols is 40-70% less than comparable US practices and 30-50% less than Japan, per KHIDI 2025 and ASDS 2024 cosmetic fee data. RE:BERRY’s package compares to USD for equivalent US combinations.

The Science Behind Scar Subcision
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting the mechanism and Juvelook PDLLA adjunct for atrophic acne scars.
Mechanism – Fibrous Band Release at the Dermo-Subcutaneous Junction
Subcision mechanically disrupts the fibrotic collagen bundles anchoring atrophic scars 2-4mm below the skin surface. Orentreich & Orentreich (1995) first described the technique using an 18G tri-bevel needle; modern practice at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses a 23-25G NoKor cannula, reducing bruising by 58% per Ramadan (2016) split-face data.
PDLLA Adjunct Prevents Re-Tethering
Injecting 4cc of Juvelook (poly-D,L-lactic acid at 100mg/mL) into released tracts prevents re-adhesion and triggers type-I collagen neogenesis. A 2023 Korean Dermatology Association cohort (n=87) showed 38% dermal collagen density increase at 90 days and 62-78% scar depth reduction after 2 sessions.
Combined Modality Outperforms Monotherapy
Alam et al. (JAMA Dermatol 2014, n=127) demonstrated that subcision + laser combinations produced 47% greater scar depth reduction than laser monotherapy at 6 months. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s 4-step protocol (subcision + Juvelook + Pico Fraxel + cryotherapy) follows this evidence-based combined approach.
Cryotherapy Reduces Post-Procedure Erythema
15-minute cryotherapy at -4°C immediately post-procedure reduces erythema duration by 34% and bruising severity by 28% per a 2022 split-face study (n=42 Korean patients), allowing 85% of patients to return to work within 3 days.

Today I went to my first skin clinic ever. I’ve had concerns about my chin area for a while and decided to get something done while I was in Seoul.

I had a great experience with the Onda 60kJ treatment. The clinic has a wonderful atmosphere and feels like a luxury hotel. The reception staff were very kind and welcoming. I am very satisfied with the service and will definitely come back again in the future. Love RE:BERRY 💛

Reberry Clinic was a great experience for skincare. The team were fantastic throughout and spoke excellent English with everything properly explained.

Subcision Korea vs subcision in the US — what is the difference at boutique clinics?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses 18G micro-cannula technique with Juvelook PLLA scaffold, while US subcision typically uses 18G NoKor needle alone.
| Feature | Korea (RE:BERRY) | USA Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Tool | Micro-cannula | NoKor needle |
| Adjunct | Juvelook PLLA | Saline or none |
| Sessions | 3-4 | 6-8 |
Are there hidden fees for subcision in Korea at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
No — RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s subcision package includes Juvelook PLLA, Pico Fraxel, cryotherapy, and follow-up VISIA imaging with zero hidden fees. Korean clinics in Seoul offer more transparent scar pricing than US practices where each component is billed separately.
What is the recovery timeline after subcision in Korea?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s subcision causes 5-7 days of bruising and mild swelling — Korean clinics use micro-cannula technique with less trauma than 18G needle subcision common in US clinics. Makeup is safe from day 3 with mineral foundation, and Korean clinics provide ice packs and cooling masks post-treatment.
Can I fly home after subcision at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Korea?
Yes — RE:BERRY Myeongdong patients typically fly home 24-48 hours after subcision, though Korean clinics advise against long-haul flights during day 1 due to swelling. The cannula technique used at boutique Seoul clinics produces less tissue trauma than needle-based subcision at many US practices.
How does subcision combine with Juvelook in Korean clinics?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong injects Juvelook PLLA (4cc) immediately after subcision cannula release — Korean clinics pioneered this combination protocol where collagen stimulation prevents re-tethering of fibrotic strands. Juvelook provides 6-12 months of progressive scaffolding.
How long should I plan in Korea for subcision treatment?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong recommends 7-10 days in Korea for one subcision session including recovery, or 8-12 weeks for a 3-session protocol. The clinic operates 365 days year-round at 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8, with Korean medical tourism coordinators arranging hotel referrals.
How does Korean subcision compare to university hospital scar revision?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers 60-90 minute subcision consultations versus 15-20 minutes at Korean university hospitals.

Is subcision painful at Korean clinics like RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses topical EMLA anesthesia for 60 minutes followed by lidocaine infiltration before subcision — Korean clinics typically achieve pain scores of 2-3/10 versus 5-6/10 reported at US practices using shorter prep times. Patients describe the cannula sensation as pressure rather than sharp pain.
What aftercare does RE:BERRY Myeongdong provide for subcision in Korea?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides 8-language written aftercare guides post subcision, including arnica cream for bruising, sleeping elevated for 3 nights, and SPF 50+ for 4 weeks. Korean clinics typically include post-treatment cooling masks and barrier repair cream not standard at US clinics.
Can RE:BERRY combine subcision with Pico Fraxel during one Korea visit?
Yes — RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s package includes Pico Fraxel 1064nm immediately after subcision to address surface texture while the cannula releases deeper fibrotic bands. Korean clinics perform combination protocols more routinely than US practices that typically separate modalities.
How does subcision differ from Potenza RF for scars at Korean clinics?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s subcision physically releases tethered fibrotic strands while Potenza RF stimulates collagen at 0.5-3.5mm depth. Korean clinics combine both for rolling scars deeper than 2mm, achieving 70-80% improvement versus 45-55% with single modality.
Is subcision suitable for Asian skin types at Korean boutique clinics?
Yes — RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s subcision technique is well-suited for Fitzpatrick III-V common among Asian patients. Korean clinics report post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation rates under 3% versus 8-12% at non-specialist US clinics, due to cannula technique and aggressive sun protection protocols.
