BONITA SCAR CLINIC

With accident scars, timing decides the method

Why layers

Why laser alone is not enough — Why depressions remain lies beneath the surface

1
LaserSurface texture, redness, color
Lasers reach only the epidermis and shallow dermis. The surface may smooth out, but a scar with a sunken floor stays as it is.
2
Adhesion releaseThe cords pulling down
Beneath a pitted scar is adhesion tissue holding the skin down. It must be released for the skin to rise.
3
Fat stem cellsThe missing volume
Sunken areas are filled with your own fat and stem cells. Lasers work only once the floor has been raised.

Bonita Clinic has performed combined regenerative procedures for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes since the days when fat grafting was still unfamiliar in Korea.

We continue to provide stem cell-based restorative treatment that lifts deeply indented areas and helps the skin regenerate.

Cases in which scars and areas indented by accidents or surgery were restored can be seen in the before-and-after photos below.

After an accident The first two to three weeks as the wound begins to close

The first two to three weeks, as the wound begins to close, are the golden time for scar restoration.

Combining appropriate stem cell therapy with laser care at this stage can minimise scar depth, pigmentation and fibrosis.

Stem cells speed the recovery of damaged tissue and generate new collagen and firmness within the skin.

Bonita applies stem cell therapy right after emergency care.

Raising regenerative capacity before the scar settles helps the damaged area heal smoothly.

Process

No pointless repeat sessions Treatment process

Before more laser, we first find out why the pits remain

STEP 01
Checking timing and condition
In the early stage when a wound is starting to heal, stem cells and lasers help regeneration before the scar sets; for scars that have already set, we first restore the shape.
STEP 02
Adhesion release
Scars with a sunken base that casts a shadow
We detach the scar tissue stuck beneath the skin and lift the skin it was holding down.
STEP 03
Fat grafting · fat stem cells
Wide, sunken scars that have lost volume
Your own fat is transferred into hollow areas to restore volume, and stem cells separated from the fat help regenerate thinned, hardened tissue.
STEP 04
Scar excision · re-suturing
Scars that have widened or thickened
We excise the scar and re-suture it finely along the skin creases.
STEP 05
Sutureless punch elevation
Narrow, deep scars
The base of a narrow, deep scar is cut round and raised to skin level.
Done without sutures, it leaves little trace.
STEP 06
Combined lasers
Scars with a rough surface and lingering color
Remaining marks such as redness, pigmentation and uneven texture are treated with 2–3 lasers, each matched to the type of mark.
STEP 07
Follow-up
Surgical and procedural restoration is usually split into 1–3 sessions.
Laser is used only if marks remain after observing the progress.

Recovery

Right after treatment
The treated area is protected. We tell you when you can start washing your face and wearing makeup, according to the procedure.
During recovery
Redness and swelling gradually subside. Sun protection matters from this point.
As it settles
While the tissue settles, we watch the progress and decide whether more treatment is needed.

Recovery time and follow-up visits vary with the extent of treatment and your individual condition.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to have scar removal?

We recommend a consultation early, as the wound begins to heal, so that care can start before the scar settles.

Can a long-standing scar still be treated?

Older scars can be consulted on as well. What is possible depends on the scar's size, depth and tissue condition, which we explain after examining it.
