Pores & Scars (Pore & Scar)
It is a treatment that addresses enlarged pores and indented scars using microneedles, radiofrequency, fractional laser, etc. Since it intentionally creates microscopic damage to the skin to utilize the recovery process, a recovery period and repeat intervals are necessary.
Pores & Scars, a quick summary?
Pores & scars care is a treatment that addresses enlarged pores and indented scars using microneedles, radiofrequency, fractional lasers, and other techniques. Because it works by intentionally causing fine damage to the skin so collagen regrows during the recovery process, a recovery period involving redness, flaking, or scabs is required after the procedure. Suitable methods vary depending on the shape of the scar (depth of indentation and adhesions at the base), which will be distinguished during consultation. The required number of sessions and results may vary by individual.

B:AID's Approach
Pore and scar treatment is a procedure targeting skin surface irregularities such as enlarged pores or pitted scars left after acne. Scars are divided into narrow and deep indentations, broad and shallow indentations, and tethered forms attached to underlying fibrous tissue, each requiring different handling methods. Methods such as resurfacing the surface layer, stimulating the dermis with microneedles to induce regeneration, and detaching the depressed base are combined according to scar shape. It is usually performed over multiple sessions spaced apart rather than completed at once. The number of sessions required and the response may vary by individual.
