If it cannot remove the scar, what number should I expect?
A percentage figure given before your skin has been examined is a sales device. What you get at the scan is a description tied to your own pattern: which zones are expected to change structurally, which will soften at the edge only, and which are being left alone this season. That description is revisited between sessions and adjusted against what the skin has actually done.
Which acne scars improve the most?
Rolling and tethered ones, because releasing the anchor produces a structural change and not only a textural one. Boxcar walls soften next. Narrow ice-pick pits sit at the far end of the range and are handled individually at ₩10,000 (≈ $5) per lesion. A face carrying all three improves unevenly, which is normal and is explained at the scan.
Why is subcision done before the laser work?
Because the fibrous strands under a tethered scar are the reason the floor sits low. Energy delivered above an intact anchor is working against it, so the strands are divided first at ₩500,000 (≈ $355) and the healing response that follows lays tissue into the space that opens. Rebuilding and surface work are placed after that, in later visits.
Would a stronger setting get me closer to removal?
It gets you closer to a complication. Pushed hard across a whole face, resurfacing energy buys a little extra smoothing at the cost of a longer recovery and, in skin with more melanin, a real chance of a patch of altered tone that lasts months. Settings here stay inside what the scan supports and are reset at each zone boundary.
Does the research support any claim of clearance?
No. A meta-analysis of fractional radiofrequency for acne and acne scars has been published, alongside randomised split-face trials comparing fractional carbon dioxide against needle-delivered radiofrequency and against micro-plasma radiofrequency. They report degrees of improvement over treatment courses. Those papers are listed at the foot of this page with resolvable DOIs so you can read them yourself.
Can I be treated while I still have active breakouts?
Usually the inflammation is settled first, since scar work on skin that is still flaring spends visits on a target that keeps moving. Insulated microneedle radiofrequency is the route used for recurrent acne here, and in some cases a gentle step can run alongside it. That judgement belongs to your director after the skin has been examined.
How many visits does a scar sequence take?
There is no fixed course sold on day one. Sessions sit several weeks apart so tissue can rebuild between them, and the number depends on scar depth, how many zones are involved and how your skin repairs. Your director gives a likely range at the scan and revises it as you go, with each visit charged at its own published line.
Will fillers or boosters do what the laser cannot?
They answer a different part of the problem. Where thinned tissue around a released scar needs support, an injectable step can be added into the plan, and that is a decision made after the release has been done and the skin has been allowed to settle. It is not a substitute for cutting a tether that is still holding a floor down.
How long before I can judge the result?
Texture often looks calmer once the first redness fades, but the change that matters accumulates as collagen rebuilds over the weeks and months after each visit. Structural improvement from a released scar does not simply undo itself. New breakouts and ageing continue to act on the same skin, so acne control stays part of the picture afterwards.
Is my skin tone a reason to expect less?
It is a reason to expect a different pace. Light absorbed by melanin needs more caution as pigment rises, so beam-based steps run lower and slower in deeper tones. Needle-delivered radiofrequency does not read melanin the same way, and several of the published scar studies on it were carried out in Asian patient groups. Your own settings come from the scan.
Do visitors from abroad pay a different rate for scar work?
No. Each line is published and applies to everyone, settled in KRW, with the USD figure alongside shown as a reference that moves with the exchange rate. Your receipt names the step you were actually treated on, which matters here because a plan can use one step or four.
How do I get a realistic answer about my own face from abroad?
Send the consultation form with photographs taken in side light at close range, since depressions show in raking light and disappear in a flat selfie. Say which scars bother you most and how long you are in Seoul. We reply in English as soon as possible, and the EVE Muse scan settles the range properly on the day you arrive.
