Scar revision is a group of treatments that make scars flatter, smoother and less noticeable rather than erasing them. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor assesses each scar and combines non-surgical options such as fractional laser, RF microneedling, subcision or scar injections; most people need a series of sessions, and improvement builds gradually over several months.

What is scar revision?
Scar revision covers medical treatments that improve the texture, depth and colour of a scar so it blends better with the surrounding skin. The aim is a softer, less visible scar, not complete removal. Which method works depends on the scar: sunken acne scars, raised hypertrophic or keloid scars, flat surgical or injury scars and red or brown marks each respond to different tools.
At Egg Clinic the approach is non-surgical. Common options include fractional resurfacing such as Fraxel laser, RF microneedling, subcision to release tethered acne scars, and injections that flatten raised scars. The doctor often combines two or more of these over a course of treatment.
Who is a good candidate for scar revision?
- Rolling, boxcar or ice pick acne scars
- Surgical or injury scars that look uneven or wide
- Raised hypertrophic scars or small keloids
- Red or brown marks left after acne or a wound
- Anyone prepared for a course of treatments and gradual change
Scar revision usually works better once a scar has matured, and active acne should be controlled first. It should be postponed during pregnancy, with an active skin infection, or soon after isotretinoin use, and people prone to keloids need a careful plan. The doctor reviews your skin and history at consultation before recommending treatment.

What are the results and recovery like?
Recovery depends on the method. After fractional laser or RF microneedling, redness, mild swelling and small scabs typically last a few days to a week; injections and subcision may leave small bruises. Collagen remodelling continues for weeks after each session, so scars usually look progressively smoother over a course of treatments spaced around four weeks apart. Results vary with scar type, depth and age, and most people see meaningful softening rather than complete disappearance.
How the treatment works
-
Consultation & scar assessment
The doctor examines each scar's type, depth and colour, then plans which methods to combine and how many sessions to expect.
-
Preparation & comfort
The area is cleansed and numbing cream or local anaesthetic is applied so treatment is comfortable.
-
Treatment
Laser, RF microneedling, subcision or scar injections are performed, sometimes in the same session, depending on the plan.
-
Aftercare
Keep the skin moisturised and protected from the sun, avoid picking any scabs, and skip saunas and heavy exercise for a few days.
Tips for international patients
- Send clear photos of your scars on WhatsApp before your trip so the doctor can suggest a realistic plan.
- If you can stay several weeks or return to Seoul, ask about spacing sessions around four weeks apart.
- Plan laser sessions early in your trip so redness settles before you fly.
- Use a high-SPF sunscreen daily afterwards to help prevent dark marks on treated skin.
Frequently asked questions
Can scar revision remove a scar completely?
No treatment can fully erase a scar, but revision can make it flatter, smoother and less noticeable. The degree of improvement depends on the scar type, depth and your skin.
How many scar revision sessions will I need?
Most people need around three or more sessions spaced several weeks apart. Deep acne scars or large scars may need a longer course combining different methods.
Does scar revision hurt?
Numbing cream or local anaesthetic is used, so most people feel heat, pricking or pressure rather than sharp pain. Mild tenderness afterwards is common.
What is the downtime after scar revision?
Downtime is usually a few days of redness, mild swelling or small scabs after laser or microneedling. Injections and subcision may cause small bruises for about a week.
Is scar revision at Egg Clinic surgical?
Egg Clinic focuses on non-surgical scar treatments such as lasers, RF microneedling, subcision and injections. The doctor will advise at consultation if a scar is unlikely to respond to these options.
How much does scar revision cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the scar size, the methods used and the number of sessions, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. You can see published prices on the scar laser and keloid injection price list.
