The short answer

What is scar revision, and which method fits?

Scar revision makes a scar less noticeable by changing its texture, height, colour or width. Lasers smooth and blend; injections flatten raised scars; minor surgery narrows wide or stretched scars.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the method is chosen after examination and quoted in won.

Honest suitability

Who Scar Revision suits, and who it doesn't

We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.

Often a good fit

  • Wide or stretched surgical scars
  • Raised or thick scars
  • Red scars
  • Uneven scars from injury
  • Scars older than a few months

Probably not the first choice

  • Very fresh scars (wait for maturation)
  • Keloid tendency without a prevention plan
  • Active infection
  • Smokers before surgical revision
  • Expecting complete removal
How it works

Three approaches

Laser: fractional and vascular lasers.

Injections: flatten raised scars.

Surgery: narrows and realigns wide scars.
