Non-surgical scar removal uses lasers, RF microneedling and injections to make scars smoother, flatter and less visible. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor matches the method to the scar type, whether sunken acne scars, raised keloids or red and brown marks; most people need a course of sessions, and scars usually fade gradually rather than disappear completely.

What is non-surgical scar removal?
Scars form when the skin repairs a deeper injury with collagen that is arranged differently from normal skin. Depending on how the skin healed, a scar can be sunken (atrophic), raised (hypertrophic or keloid), or simply discoloured. Non-surgical treatments aim to remodel this tissue and even out colour so the scar blends in better.
For textured and acne scars, fractional lasers and RF microneedling stimulate new collagen. For raised scars and keloids, scar injections help flatten and soften the tissue, and lasers can reduce redness. Red or brown marks after acne respond to vascular or pigment lasers. Read more about raised scars on our keloid removal page.
Who is a good candidate for scar removal?
- Acne scars, including rolling, boxcar and ice pick scars
- Surgical or injury scars with uneven texture
- Raised hypertrophic scars or keloids
- Red or brown marks left by acne or wounds
- Stretch marks or chickenpox scars
Treatment is ideally started once active acne is controlled and wounds have fully closed. It should wait during pregnancy, with an active infection, or with recent isotretinoin use, and people with a history of keloids need a cautious plan. The doctor assesses your scars and medical history before recommending a course of treatment.

What are the results and recovery like?
After laser or microneedling sessions, redness, mild swelling and fine crusting usually last a few days to a week. Scar injections may cause slight tenderness or a small bruise. Because collagen remodelling takes time, improvement continues for weeks after each session, and a course of treatments spaced about four weeks apart is typical. Results vary with the scar's type, depth and age; the realistic goal is a softer, less noticeable scar rather than complete removal.
How the treatment works

Tips for international patients
- Send photos of your scars on WhatsApp so the doctor can suggest a realistic plan before your visit.
- Schedule laser sessions early in your trip to allow redness to settle before your flight.
- If you visit Seoul regularly, ask how to space a course of sessions across trips.
- Use sunscreen daily on treated areas to help prevent dark marks.
Frequently asked questions
Can scars be removed completely without surgery?
Non-surgical treatments can make scars much less noticeable, but they rarely erase them completely. The amount of improvement depends on the scar type and depth.
How many sessions does scar removal take?
Most people need around three or more sessions spaced several weeks apart. Deep acne scars or keloids may need a longer course.
Does scar removal hurt?
Numbing cream or local anaesthetic is used, so most people feel warmth, pricking or pressure rather than sharp pain.
How are keloid scars treated?
Raised scars and keloids are usually treated with scar injections to flatten them, sometimes combined with laser. The doctor tailors the plan because keloids can recur.
How soon will I see results from scar removal?
Some smoothing may be noticed after the first session, but collagen remodelling continues for months. Results are usually clearest after completing a course.
How much does scar removal cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the scar type, size and methods used, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. You can see published prices on the scar laser and keloid injection price list.
