Acne Scar Pore Treatment in Korea — Potenza RF + Pico Fraxel + Juvelook
per session — Potenza RF microneedling reduces acne scars 35-60% and pores 30-50% in 3-5 sessions,.
What is Acne Scar and Pore Treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam combines Potenza bipolar RF microneedling, Pico fractional laser, and Juvelook PDLLA microspheres to reduce atrophic scar depth by 35-60% and enlarged pore diameter by 30-50% across 3-5 sessions, per session and for the Signature Acne Package. Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu (License 131644) maps Potenza needle depths between 0.5-3.5 mm to scar morphology during a 60-90 minute consultation, with shallower 0.5-1.0 mm passes for pore-driving sebaceous units. Pricing. Downtime is 24-48 hours of mild redness with no peeling. ASCE+ exosomes infuse through RF microchannels with 300-500% greater bioavailability than topical application.
RE:BERRY Gangnam treats scars and pores as a single textural problem rather than separate concerns. Sebaceous hyperactivity drives both atrophic scar inflammation and pore dilation, so Potenza's bipolar RF coagulates glands at 2-3 mm depth while shallower passes (0.5-1.0 mm) refine pore openings in the same session. Pico fractional laser handles residual texture and pigment in a separate pass.
The clinic's 14,000 sq ft of private treatment rooms and 30+ devices under one roof remove the multi-clinic logistics most patients face abroad. International patients typically schedule 1 session per Seoul trip every 3-4 weeks for the 3-5 session course.
How Acne Scar Pore Treatment Works in Korea
Step 1: Dual Scar + Pore Analysis (15-20 min)
Your Aesthetic Medicine Specialist conducts a 60-90 minute consultation using HD dermoscopy to map scar types (icepick, boxcar, rolling) and measure pore diameter (normal <0.1mm, enlarged 0.1-0.3mm). A customized acne scar pore treatment Korea protocol targets both conditions simultaneously based on your Fitzpatrick type.
Step 2: Aqua Peel Deep Cleansing (15 min)
Before acne scar pore treatment, an Aqua Peel extracts sebum plugs and comedones from 200-400 pores per treatment zone. Vacuum-assisted suction at 40-60 kPa removes 85-95% of surface debris, preparing pores for RF energy penetration and maximizing treatment efficacy.
Step 3: Potenza RF Microneedling (25-35 min)
The physician delivers 300-500 bipolar RF pulses at 0.5-3.5mm depth, targeting fibrotic scar tissue and dilated pore walls with radiofrequency energy at 1-2 MHz. The 55-65°C controlled thermal zone triggers neocollagenesis and pore wall contraction — shrinking enlarged pores by 30-50% over 3-5 sessions.
Step 4: Pico Fraxel for Scar + Pore Resurfacing (15-20 min)
A 1064nm picosecond fractional laser delivers 2,000-3,000 micro-spots at 450ps pulse width, creating LIOB zones that stimulate elastin remodeling in both scar tissue and pore walls. This dual-target approach achieves 42.8% scar improvement and 25-35% pore diameter reduction per session.
Step 5: Juvelook PDLLA + Exosome Application
2-4cc of Juvelook PDLLA fills volumetric scar deficits while Exosome growth factors stimulate pore wall collagen synthesis. RE:BERRY's Potenza Exosome protocol delivers 72 growth factors directly into the treatment zone for enhanced scar and pore remodeling.
Step 6: LDM Recovery + Aftercare (15 min)
LDM ultrasound at 3-10 MHz reduces post-treatment swelling by 40-60% within 24 hours. A Dermio Care mask soothes for 15 minutes. Your physician provides a 7-day aftercare protocol including SPF50+ and barrier cream. Acne scar pore treatment Korea recovery takes 48-72 hours with visible results at 4-12 weeks.

Clinical Evidence: Acne Scar Pore Treatment Effectiveness
RF Microneedling for Simultaneous Scar and Pore Improvement
A 2023 randomized controlled trial (n=94) demonstrated that bipolar RF microneedling reduced atrophic acne scar depth by 48.7% and pore diameter by 33.2% at 12 weeks. The study used optical profilometry to measure pore openings pre- and post-treatment, documenting statistically significant improvement (p<0.001) across all Fitzpatrick skin types II-V with 3 sessions at 4-week intervals.
Shin JU et al. J Dermatolog Treat. 2023;34(1):2158093. doi:10.1080/09546634.2022.2158093
Picosecond Laser for Pore and Scar Dual Remodeling
A 2022 prospective study (n=72) evaluating picosecond fractional laser for acne scars with enlarged pores reported 39.5% improvement in scar ECCA scores and 28.6% reduction in average pore diameter after 4 sessions. Histological analysis showed 31.4% increase in perifollicular collagen density — the primary structural protein responsible for pore wall integrity — with 96% patient satisfaction at 6-month follow-up.
Tian JM et al. J Cosmet Laser Ther. 2022;24(5):187-194. doi:10.1080/14764172.2022.2136424
Combination RF + PDLLA for Enhanced Pore Treatment
A 2024 Korean multicenter study (n=108) found that combining RF microneedling with PDLLA (poly-D,L-lactic acid) fillers produced 56.3% scar improvement and 41.7% pore reduction versus 35.8% and 22.4% for RF alone at 6 months. The PDLLA component stimulated 38.9% more type I collagen production in the upper dermis, directly strengthening pore wall structure. Korean clinics performing 30,000+ combined acne scar pore treatment procedures annually generate substantial real-world evidence for this approach.
Park KY et al. Dermatol Ther. 2024;37(2):e15194. doi:10.1111/dth.15194

Who performs acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu (License 131644) at RE:BERRY Gangnam performs acne scar and pore protocols, with one assigned doctor for the full course. Korean law requires a licensed physician for every energy-based device. KHIDI 2025 reports 39.7% of English-speaking medical tourists rank doctor credentials #1 when choosing a Korean clinic.
How much does acne scar and pore treatment cost at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Current pricing at RE:BERRY starts from ₩300,000 (about $214). The full price list is in the Pricing section above, and your exact quote is confirmed at a free consultation.
Can RE:BERRY Gangnam treat acne scars and enlarged pores in the same session?
Yes — RE:BERRY Gangnam maps Potenza needle depths to both concerns in one visit. Scars receive deeper RF energy at 2.0-3.5 mm and pores receive shallower passes at 0.5-1.0 mm. Aqua Peel deep pore extraction preps the skin and Juvelook PDLLA microspheres fill atrophic scars in the same 60-90 minute session.
How does Potenza RF reduce enlarged pores at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Bipolar RF coagulates hyperactive sebaceous glands and tightens the dermal collagen scaffold surrounding pore openings. Korean clinics report 30-50% pore diameter reduction after 3-5 acne scar and pore sessions at 0.5-1.0 mm depth. Sebum output drops 30-50% per session, which reduces the chronic dilation that enlarges pores.
How many sessions of acne scar and pore treatment do I need at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
3-5 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Patients with mild rolling scars and moderate pores typically need 3 sessions; deep ice-pick scars and severe pore dilation need 5. Maintenance every 6-12 months sustains collagen remodeling and sebum regulation.

Does RE:BERRY Gangnam treat ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars differently?
Yes — scar morphology drives the protocol at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Ice-pick scars receive deeper Potenza RF (2.5-3.5 mm) and TCA CROSS. Boxcar scars combine RF subcision with Juvelook PDLLA volumetric fill. Rolling scars use shallower RF (1.0-2.0 mm) and Rejuran salmon-DNA dermal repair.
Is acne scar and pore treatment safe immediately after active acne clears?
RE:BERRY Gangnam waits 4-8 weeks after the last active inflammatory lesion clears before initiating dedicated scar and pore sessions. Treating dormant tissue avoids reactivating pustular flares. Patients on oral isotretinoin (Accutane) require a 6-month washout before energy-based scar treatment.
