Distinctive Features of New Skin Needle (Subcision) Treatment

* 3-Step Approach to New Skin Needle Treatment

Step 1 – Improving Superficial Adhesions

Fibrous adhesions widely spread in the superficial layer of the skin are precisely separated with a micro-needle.

By carefully removing the microstructures that pull the scar downwards,

the visibly depressed areas can be improved into a natural form.

Step 2 – Resolving Deep Adhesions

For adhesion tissues firmly rooted in the deep dermal layer,

a cannula is used to gently separate a wide range of adhesions.

This method can help reduce post-treatment bruising and pain compared to needles used in the past.

It can be particularly useful for improving wide-form scars such as rolling scars and boxcar scars.

→ This is an important step in reducing post-treatment bruising and pain.

Step 3 – Promoting Tissue Regeneration (Using Micro-needles)

Finally, micro-needles are used to stimulate skin tissue,

creating an environment where blood flow and growth factors can be activated.

Through this process, fibroblasts are stimulated, and collagen production can be induced.

Importance of Combination Treatments

We offer delicately designed combination therapies that aim for synergistic effects and reduce recovery burden.

① PDRN (DNA Injection) Combination

As a principle, PDRN injections are applied together with new skin needle treatments.

This can help wound healing and reduce the burden of redness or hyperpigmentation that may occur after the procedure.

It is an important factor that aids in the healthy regeneration of scar tissue and is included in the basic treatment plan.

② Er:YAG Fractional Laser Combination for Faster Recovery

Subcision primarily focuses on improving adhesions within the skin.

However, there may be limitations in refining the fine texture or skin tone of the surface.

For this reason, Er:YAG fractional laser is applied in combination after subcision treatment.

This works at a shallower depth and can help improve skin texture, pores, and minor depressed areas on the skin surface.

→ This can reduce the burden of recovery time and lead to improved results through synergistic effects.

New Skin Needle Treatment: What Makes It Different?

* Treatment Design Based on Anatomical Knowledge

We don't simply emphasize depth;

we accurately diagnose which skin layer has adhesions and which direction to approach,

then establish a detailed treatment plan.

* Utilization of Precision Equipment

By combining micro-needles, cannulas, and micro-pins,

we focus on the targeted improvement while reducing the burden of bruising, swelling, and pain that may occur after the procedure.

* PDRN and Fractional Laser Combination Treatment

Combination therapies that aid the recovery process and enhance treatment efficiency are

considered an essential part of our treatments, not an option.

* Accurate Diagnosis Instead of Indiscriminate Treatment Recommendations

Subcision treatment is not suitable for all scars.

For scars deemed unnecessary for treatment, we honestly inform you that no procedure is required.

As medical professionals, we believe that accurate medical judgment should be prioritized over recommending procedures.

What is New Tissue Needle (Sae-Sal-Chim)?

Indented scars are related to the phenomenon of fibrous tissue pulling down from within the skin.

Outwardly, the skin appears sunken, but in reality, beneath the dermis layer,

hardened tissue, like fibrous cords, strongly adheres to and pulls down the scar area.

By separating these adhered fibrous tissues, the skin is expected to rise back to its original height.

The procedure that breaks these adhesions is precisely New Tissue Needle (Sae-Sal-Chim), also known as subcision.

Principle of New Tissue Needle (Sae-Sal-Chim) Treatment

1. Release of Adhered Tissue (Release)

Fibrous adhesion bands located deep within the skin

are carefully separated using a special needle or cannula.

Through this process, the adhered structure of the scar, which was pulling it downwards, is released, helping the indented area to naturally rise.

2. Inducing Micro-bleeding (Regeneration Signal)

The micro-bleeding that occurs during the process of separating adhered tissues

can act as an important signal to promote collagen synthesis.

This promotes fibroblast activity, laying the foundation for new skin tissue to regenerate in the scar area.

3. Improving Blood Flow and Promoting Tissue Regeneration

If necessary, microneedling treatment and PDRN (DNA injection) are applied together

to enhance blood circulation to the area and facilitate the influx of regenerative cells.

This can contribute to simultaneously activating wound healing and collagen production processes.

When can New Tissue Needle (Sae-Sal-Chim) treatment be considered?

Small, deeply indented scars on the forehead

Scars around the temples that appear sunken and irregular

One, two, or multiple indented scars around the nose, appearing like pinpoint marks

Complex scars of various shapes, pitted or indented, on both cheeks

What is Multi-New Tissue Needle (Multi-Sae-Sal-Chim)? (A treatment combining existing New Tissue Needle with Er-YAG 'Shouldering' technique)

This is an improved treatment method that integrates the Shouldering technique with conventional New Tissue Needle (subcision).

When considering scar treatment, simply separating the adhered tissue beneath the scar may not be sufficient.

Even if the adhesion is released with subcision, scars with clear boundaries and deep indentations may find it difficult for the skin surface to regenerate completely smoothly.

Our skin tends to recover damaged areas with a height and texture similar to the surrounding tissue.

However, if the scar boundary is abruptly discontinuous, this natural healing process may not proceed smoothly.

Therefore, the boundary of the scar is delicately refined to be gentle (shouldering).

This process reduces the height difference with the surrounding skin, allowing the scar area to regenerate more naturally and blend seamlessly with adjacent skin, resulting in a less noticeable appearance to the naked eye.

Indeed, one of the reasons why satisfactory improvement is not seen with conventional New Tissue Needle treatment alone is deeply related to this point.

Even if the adhesion beneath the scar is released, if a distinct boundary remains, it can hinder skin regeneration. 

Therefore, shouldering can be considered a meaningful process that can complement the limitations of existing treatment methods for deeply indented scars with clear boundaries. 

Types of cases where Multi-New Tissue Needle (Multi-Sae-Sal-Chim) can be considered

1) Those who have not experienced significant improvement with conventional New Tissue Needle or other scar treatments

Some people feel that their scars have not improved as much as expected, even after undergoing subcision or laser treatments.

This may be because using a method that only releases the adhesion at the bottom of the scar makes it difficult to induce natural skin regeneration up to the steep scar edges.

In such cases, applying the shouldering treatment to gently refine the edges can lead to better scar improvement.

The second type is a scar that is deeply indented, with clear and steep borders. 

For example, in the case of a deeply indented scar like a Boxcar, even if the skin tissue regenerates from within,

the side borders remain firm like a wall, hindering the complete healing process.

By gently refining the edges with Erbium YAG shouldering, it helps reduce the height difference with the surrounding skin, allowing the scar to blend more naturally.

The third type is for those who wish to experience scar improvement with fewer sessions than traditional 'Saesalchim' (new skin needling) treatments.

Traditional Saesalchim treatments offer gradual improvement over multiple sessions. In contrast, multi-Saesalchim adopts an approach that simultaneously cares for the scar's adhered base, steep side borders, and surface.

Thanks to this comprehensive approach, one can expect improvement with fewer sessions compared to traditional Saesalchim.
