Acne Scar & Pore Cellular Regeneration at Cellis Lab Clinic, Seoul

Who is Acne Scar & Pore Cellular Regeneration for?

  • Old, depressed acne scars and wide pores make your skin uneven
  • Previous fractional lasers left redness and sensitivity without much improvement
  • Large pores on the nose and cheeks with loss of firmness

How Acne Scar & Pore Cellular Regeneration works

Many depressed scars are held down by fibrous bands. Subcision releases them, and regenerative fillers support the tissue as it heals.

Combining subcision, regenerative injections and, where appropriate, lasers works better than any single method. Several sessions are needed.

Our approach to Acne Scar & Pore Cellular Regeneration

  1. Scar release

    Subcision frees tethered scars.

  2. Regenerative fill

    Autologous and collagen boosters support new tissue.

  3. Pore care

    Pores and firmness are treated together.
