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. Expect about 24-48 hours of mild redness after a Potenza scar-and-pore session, without any peeling. ASCE+ exosomes infuse through RF microchannels with 300-500% greater bioavailability than topical application.
At RE:BERRY Gangnam, acne scars and enlarged pores are planned together as one textural problem. 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 Mark-Vu imaging 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.

Why This Matters
Doctor continuity affects acne scar pore treatment Korea outcomes. In KHIDI's 2025 survey, 41.4% of Japanese patients named keeping the same doctor as their top priority, which counts for a scar course spread over several visits. RE:BERRY assigns one doctor per patient for every session.
Korea's outpatient average is 4.3 minutes — the OECD shortest (average 16.4 min). RE:BERRY's 60-90 minute acne scar pore treatment consultations deliver 15-20x the national average for precise dual-target planning.

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.
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.
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
Seoul's 654 dermatology clinics (38.2% of Korea's 1,712 total per HIRA 2024) have made Korea the global hub for acne scar pore treatment innovation. RE:BERRY Gangnam's 60-90 minute consultations are 15-20x Korea's national average of 4.3 minutes (OECD 2023), enabling individualized dual-target protocols.

Acne Scar and Pore Treatment Korea — Frequently Asked Questions
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. Under Korean law, only a licensed physician may operate energy-based devices such as the Potenza RF used on scars and pores. Credentials weigh heavily for travelers too: KHIDI 2025 found that 39.7% of English-speaking medical tourists put a doctor's credentials first 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). Scar depth, pore severity and the number of sessions shape the total, so your acne scar and pore quote is confirmed at a free consultation; each item is listed in the Pricing section above.
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.
Is acne scar and pore treatment cheaper in Korea than the US or Japan?
Yes — at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
What is the downtime after acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
24-48 hours of mild redness after acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam, no peeling or crusting. Once 24 hours have passed, makeup can go back on over the treated areas, and flying home later that same week is possible. Week 1: redness resolves. Week 2-4: pore visibility decreases. Month 2-3: PDLLA collagen cascade peaks for scar volume.
Is acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam safe for darker skin?
Yes — Potenza's insulated gold-tip needles make acne scar and pore treatment safe for Fitzpatrick I-VI including darker Asian and South Asian skin at RE:BERRY Gangnam. The bipolar RF energy is deposited below the epidermal melanin layer, minimizing the PIH risk that is common with ablative CO2 lasers in Fitzpatrick IV-VI.
Does ASCE+ exosome add value to acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
It can. In the Signature path at RE:BERRY Gangnam, ExoCoBio ASCE+ exosomes are applied straight after Potenza RF so they enter through the freshly opened microchannels. Whether the exosome step suits your scar pattern is decided with your doctor at consultation. The vial contains 5 billion exosomes and 1,000+ proteins (TGF-β, VEGF, PDGF, IL-10).
How does Pico laser fit into acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Pico fractional laser at RE:BERRY Gangnam handles residual texture and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation between Potenza sessions. 5-10 Pico toning sessions typically clear 60-80% of PIH in Asian skin. Picosecond pulses minimize PIH risk in Fitzpatrick IV-VI vs nanosecond Q-switched alternatives.
Can I combine acne scar and pore treatment with skin booster at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Yes — the Signature Acne Package at RE:BERRY Gangnam layers Potenza RF, Juberry 4cc skin booster, Ehlstone PTT, Aqua Peel, and Dermio Care in one session. The Smooth Texture Glow Package adds Juberry 6cc, Skin Boitox, and Re2O for additional hydration and pore-refining glow.
How long should I plan to stay in Seoul for acne scar and pore treatment?
3-5 days in Seoul per session at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Day 1: 60-90 minute consultation and treatment. Day 2-3: recovery with cool compresses. Day 4-5: sightseeing. Since the clinic sits 2 minutes from Exit 10 of Gangnam Station and opens 365 days a year, a treatment day can fall on a weekend or holiday. For the full 3-5 session scar course, most patients plan one session per trip, with trips spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
What aftercare does RE:BERRY Gangnam provide after acne scar and pore treatment?
After you fly home, remote aftercare continues for 90 days over WhatsApp, LINE, KakaoTalk or WeChat, in any of the 5 supported languages. Every 2 weeks your assigned doctor looks over progress photos of your scars and pores and fine-tunes your skincare. KHIDI 2025 shows 38.6% of Korean medical tourists return for 4+ visits — RE:BERRY Gangnam supports the same continuity model.
Are there hidden fees for acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
No. The acne scar and pore price at RE:BERRY Gangnam already covers Potenza RF, Juvelook or Exosome, the 60-90 minute consultation and aftercare. The Signature path bundles 5 treatments. Anything outside the chosen path is priced at consultation, before treatment starts.
How are ice-pick, boxcar and rolling acne scars each treated at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Each scar shape gets its own protocol, set after your doctor maps the scars at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Ice-pick scars receive deeper Potenza RF (2.5-3.5 mm) and TCA CROSS. Boxcar scars are treated with RF subcision paired with a volumetric fill of Juvelook PDLLA. Rolling scars sit shallower, so they receive RF at 1.0-2.0 mm together with Rejuran salmon-DNA for 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. If you have been taking oral isotretinoin (Accutane), allow 6 months off the drug before any energy-based scar session.
Can teenagers get acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Patients aged 16+ may receive acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam with parental or guardian consent. Active oral isotretinoin is a contraindication. Severe nodulocystic acne is first stabilized with topical or oral therapy before scar and pore sessions begin.
How does the acne scar and pore consultation work at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
At RE:BERRY Gangnam, your acne scar and pore course starts with a 60-90 minute consultation, and the doctor assigned to you there performs every session and follows your progress to the end.
| What to check | RE:BERRY Gangnam |
|---|---|
| Consult | 60-90 min |
| Doctor | Same throughout |
Does laser toning at RE:BERRY Gangnam help acne pigmentation after pore treatment?
Yes. The brown marks acne leaves behind are post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and the Pico fractional laser at RE:BERRY Gangnam targets that melanin, usually over a course of 5-10 sessions. With picosecond-length pulses, the chance of setting off new pigment in Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin stays lower than with nanosecond Q-switched lasers.
What does the acne scar and pore consultation at RE:BERRY Gangnam cover?
Your acne scar and pore consultation at RE:BERRY Gangnam runs 60-90 minutes with the same doctor who will carry out your sessions. The doctor reviews your scars and pores together and sets out how Potenza, pico laser and PDLLA fit into one aesthetic plan for your skin. If severe nodulocystic acne needs medical care first, we can refer you to a hospital before a scar course begins.
What language support does RE:BERRY Gangnam offer for acne scar and pore treatment?
Your acne scar and pore visit comes with 5-language support (EN, ZH-CN, ZH-TW, JA, ES). A coordinator stays with you in that language from consultation through treatment and the 90-day aftercare window, under RE:BERRY Gangnam's KHIDI registration (M-2025-01-08-09203) for foreign patients.
Can I book online for acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Yes. You can book by WhatsApp, LINE, KakaoTalk or WeChat in any of the 5 supported languages, with a reply inside 24 hours. Opening hours are 10:00 AM-8:00 PM on all 365 days, Korean public holidays included. A walk-in can be seen if a slot is free, though booking ahead is wiser because the first scar consultation takes 60-90 minutes.
Will acne scar and pore results last after RE:BERRY Gangnam treatment?
Atrophic scar improvements from acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam reflect new Type I and III collagen deposition over 8-12 weeks and are durable. The Juvelook PDLLA microspheres themselves are absorbed over 12-18 months, while the new collagen they trigger beneath the scars stays in place. Pore reduction holds while sebum regulation is maintained — annual maintenance preserves results.
Is acne scar and pore treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam covered by travel insurance?
Aesthetic acne scar and pore treatment is generally classified as cosmetic and excluded from international travel insurance. Scar and pore sessions can be paid by card in USD, KRW, JPY or CNY, or by bank transfer. If you plan to claim through a US employer plan or HSA, ask for an itemized receipt in English.
Why do international patients choose RE:BERRY Gangnam for acne scar and pore treatment?
1,000,000+ treatments performed across RE:BERRY clinics (Gangnam, Myeongdong, Incheon Airport), per session, same-doctor continuity, 60-90 minute consultations, 5-language coordination, 365-day operation, ASCE+ exosome adjunct in the Signature path, 2-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 10, and 14,000 sq ft of private treatment space — the combination international patients use to plan a 3-5 day Seoul acne scar and pore treatment trip.
