Acne scar treatments at RE:BERRY Myeongdong start from ₩249,000 for first-visit Potenza RF, with the complete One-Day Acne Scar Package at ₩1,090,000 including subcision, Juvelook hand injection 4cc, Pico Fraxel, and cryotherapy at our 365-day clinic, 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station.
What Are the Best Acne Scar Treatments in Myeongdong Seoul?
Acne scar treatments at RE:BERRY Myeongdong combine subcision to release tethered scars, Potenza RF microneedling for collagen remodeling, Juvelook 4cc biostimulator to fill volume loss, and Pico Fraxel for texture resurfacing, achieving 50-70% scar improvement over 3-6 sessions starting from ₩1,090,000 per One-Day Acne Scar Package.
Acne scar treatments in Myeongdong Seoul have evolved far beyond single-device approaches. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, acne scar treatments target three distinct layers of scar pathology: fibrous tethering beneath the skin, collagen deficit in the mid-dermis, and surface texture irregularity. Head Director Seung-Jae Baek — a certified Juvelook Meister — evaluates each patient’s scar morphology under cross-polarized light to classify scars into ice pick, boxcar, rolling, or hypertrophic subtypes before designing a customized multi-modal protocol. Subcision releases the fibrous bands anchoring rolling and tethered scars, immediately improving shadowing. Potenza RF microneedling then delivers bipolar radiofrequency through 49 insulated microneedles at 1.5-3.0mm depth to stimulate neocollagenesis in the scar bed. Juvelook PLLA collagen biostimulator fills volume loss from within by triggering the body’s own collagen production over 8-12 weeks. Finally, Pico Fraxel laser resurfaces texture irregularities with fractional picosecond energy that avoids the prolonged downtime of traditional ablative CO2 lasers. This layered approach to acne scar treatments at RE:BERRY Myeongdong delivers outcomes that no single device can match.

How Acne Scar Treatments Work at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A 4-step multi-modal protocol targeting every layer of acne scar tissue for comprehensive remodeling.
Scar Classification & Personalized Acne Scar Treatment Plan
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek performs a detailed scar assessment using cross-polarized light and tactile evaluation to classify your scars into subtypes: ice pick (narrow, deep), boxcar (flat-bottomed, sharp edges), rolling (broad, undulating), or hypertrophic (raised). Each scar type responds to different modalities within the acne scar treatment protocol. The consultation also evaluates skin tone (Fitzpatrick type), active acne status, and prior treatment history. Patients with concurrent active acne may first receive the Dual Toning acne laser package before starting scar-focused treatments. The 15-20 minute consultation is available in 8 languages at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Subcision to Release Tethered Acne Scars
Using a specialized Nokor needle inserted subcutaneously at 3-5mm depth, the doctor severs the fibrous bands that anchor rolling and tethered acne scars to the underlying fascia. This immediately releases the downward pull causing visible shadows and depressions. Subcision creates a controlled injury beneath the scar bed that triggers a wound-healing cascade, depositing new collagen in the space where fibrous bands previously existed. For deep boxcar scars, subcision is combined with Juvelook injection directly into the released space to prevent re-tethering. Most patients feel only pressure during the procedure due to local anesthetic applied beforehand.
Potenza RF + Juvelook Collagen Remodeling
After subcision, Potenza RF microneedling delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy through 49 insulated-tip microneedles at precisely controlled depths of 1.5-3.0mm. The RF energy heats the dermal collagen to 55-65 degrees Celsius, initiating immediate collagen contraction and long-term neocollagenesis. Juvelook PLLA biostimulator (4cc) is then infused through the microchannels created by Potenza, depositing poly-L-lactic acid microspheres directly within the scar bed. These microspheres gradually dissolve over 8-12 weeks while stimulating the body’s own type I and III collagen production, progressively lifting depressed scars from within. Dr. Baek’s Juvelook Meister certification ensures precise depth and volume placement for optimal acne scar treatments.
Pico Fraxel Resurfacing + Cryotherapy Recovery
Pico Fraxel delivers fractional picosecond laser energy in a micro-lens array pattern to resurface texture irregularities across the treated acne scar areas. Unlike ablative CO2 fraxel that removes tissue, Pico Fraxel creates controlled sub-surface micro-injuries that stimulate collagen remodeling without external wound formation, reducing downtime from 7-10 days to 2-3 days. Immediately after, medical-grade cryotherapy is applied at -10 degrees Celsius for 2-3 minutes to constrict blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing response. A Dermio Care LED session (633nm red light) follows to further calm the treated area. Aftercare instructions are provided in your language.

| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1-3 | Mild swelling, pinpoint redness, and slight bruising at subcision sites. Most patients resume daily activities by day 2. |
| Week 1-2 | Redness fades. Initial collagen contraction from RF begins lifting shallow scars. Pico Fraxel micro-crusts shed naturally. |
| Week 3-4 | Early neocollagenesis visible as skin plumping in treated scar areas. Texture begins smoothing. |
| Month 2-3 | Juvelook PLLA-driven collagen production reaches peak activity. 30-40% scar improvement typically visible after first session. |
| Month 4-6 | After 2-3 sessions, 50-70% overall scar improvement. Rolling scars show the most dramatic lifting. |
| Month 6-12 | Collagen maturation continues. Final results visible at 6-12 months. Maintenance sessions every 3-6 months recommended for optimal outcome. |

The Science Behind Acne Scar Treatments
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting the multi-modal acne scar treatment protocols used at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Subcision for Acne Scar Release
Subcision is a minimally invasive surgical technique that severs the fibrotic strands tethering acne scars to the underlying subcutaneous tissue. By releasing these dermal attachments, the depressed scar surface elevates immediately, and the controlled subcutaneous injury triggers a wound-healing response that deposits new connective tissue beneath the scar. A landmark study demonstrated that subcision combined with dermal fillers achieved significantly superior outcomes compared to subcision alone for moderate-to-severe rolling acne scars, with 76% of patients rating improvement as ‘excellent’ at 6-month follow-up.
Alam M et al. Subcision and suction for acne scars: a randomized controlled trial. JAMA Dermatol. 2020;156(12):1313-1321. doi:10.1001/jamadermatol.2020.3042
Fractional RF Microneedling for Collagen Remodeling
Fractional radiofrequency microneedling delivers bipolar RF energy through insulated microneedles at controlled depths of 0.5-3.5mm, creating precise zones of thermal coagulation in the dermis while sparing the epidermis. This triggers a robust neocollagenesis response, remodeling the disordered collagen architecture characteristic of atrophic acne scars. Clinical trials have shown that insulated-tip RF microneedling achieves 25-75% improvement in atrophic acne scars after 3-4 sessions, with the insulated design ensuring energy delivery exclusively at the needle tip for targeted dermal heating without epidermal damage — a critical advantage for acne scar treatments on Asian skin types.
Cho SI et al. Efficacy of fractional radiofrequency microneedling for atrophic acne scars. Lasers Surg Med. 2012;44(5):381-388. doi:10.1002/lsm.22022
PLLA Biostimulators for Volumetric Scar Correction
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) biostimulators work by depositing biocompatible microspheres within the dermis that gradually dissolve over 8-12 weeks while stimulating the body’s own type I and III collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide temporary volumization, PLLA-driven collagen formation creates structural correction that persists for 12-24 months after treatment completion. Studies demonstrate that PLLA injection into atrophic acne scars produces progressive volume restoration with natural-appearing results, as the newly formed collagen integrates with surrounding tissue architecture.

The combination of subcision, RF microneedling, and biostimulator injection represents the current evidence-based standard for multi-modal acne scar treatments. By addressing fibrous tethering, collagen deficit, and volumetric loss simultaneously, this approach produces outcomes superior to any single modality.
