With the continuous development of aesthetic medicine, the technology for treating acne scars is constantly being upgraded. Today, we will introduce a brand new therapy—Multi-Layer Scar Integration Therapy—which combines subcutaneous separation techniques to provide effective solutions for various types of acne scars.

Traditional subcutaneous separation techniques often rely solely on needles for treatment; however, we can now achieve a more comprehensive effect using Multi-Layer Scar Integration Therapy. This technique has been widely adopted in Europe, Australia, and the United States, specifically targeting acne scars located 2mm to 5mm deep in the skin. The principle behind Multi-Layer Scar Integration Therapy is to utilize a needle to release thermal energy that induces degeneration and melting of scar tissue, thus activating our body’s own collagen production capabilities, ultimately smoothing the scars.

This therapy is particularly suitable for treating atrophic acne scars, such as rolling or complex acne scars. The greatest advantage of this method is its use of insulated needles, meaning that when penetrating the skin, the epidermis remains unharmed, allowing electrical energy to be released only in the necessary dermis layer. This significantly reduces the risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation, providing peace of mind when undergoing treatment in summer.

Doctors can flexibly adjust the strength and depth of the needles based on each patient’s specific situation. The treatment can start at a depth of 4mm, followed by multi-layer treatments at shallower depths of 2mm and 3mm, creating a three-dimensional effect. This extensive range of treatment space and depth sets Multi-Layer Scar Integration Therapy apart from traditional methods, achieving optimized results.

Advancements in technology have allowed for progressively deeper needle depths, initially starting from 1.0mm and 2.0mm to now reaching 3.0mm and 4.0mm, covering a broader range. Therefore, anesthesia is typically necessary during this treatment. While there are many popular treatments combining needles with radiofrequency on the market, not all methods effectively combat acne scars; the key lies in the output power and whether it can penetrate deep into the skin.

The entire recovery period for the treatment is about a week, during which patients may experience slight redness, swelling, or scabbing of the skin. Minor blistering may also occur during the treatment process, but these can be alleviated using relevant antibiotic ointments. Additionally, we incorporate needle techniques during the anesthesia process to achieve deeper improvement effects.

Multi-Layer Scar Integration Therapy is an important component of combined acne scar treatment. In the initial stage, this technique can effectively elevate deep acne scars to the surface, after which patients can undergo superficial treatments such as TCA or fractional laser for optimal results, ultimately achieving a treatment effect where 1 + 1 + 1 is greater than 3.

Although this new technology shows remarkable potential, it must be emphasized that not every patient is suitable for this therapy. Therefore, if necessary, it is recommended that you visit the clinic for a detailed consultation.
