Treatment Overview
The Wound-Healing Booster Laser Program is a specialized acne scar and skin repair treatment offered in Korean dermatology clinics. It combines fractional or non-ablative lasers with regenerative boosters such as PDRN (polynucleotides), exosomes, PRP, peptides, or growth factors.
The laser step creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen remodeling and scar repair. Immediately afterward, wound-healing boosters are infused through laser-created channels, accelerating tissue regeneration, reducing downtime, and improving scar outcomes.
This program is designed for patients who need effective acne scar correction with enhanced recovery, making it one of the most advanced scar care protocols in Korea.
Purpose & Benefits
- Accelerated Healing: Boosters reduce downtime after laser resurfacing.
- Scar Remodeling: Collagen stimulation + regenerative serums improve scar depth.
- Inflammation Control: Peptides and PDRN reduce redness and irritation.
- Pigmentation Reduction: Helps fade post-acne hyperpigmentation.
- Barrier Support: Strengthens skin resilience against future breakouts.
- Comprehensive Skin Renewal: Improves tone, hydration, and elasticity alongside scar repair.
Ideal Candidates
The Wound-Healing Booster Laser Program in Korea is recommended for:
- Patients with atrophic acne scars (rolling, boxcar, shallow icepick).
- Individuals with PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) after acne.
- Those with sensitive or Asian skin who need safer, faster-healing protocols.
- Patients who previously had slow recovery or irritation from lasers.
- Individuals seeking both scar revision and skin rejuvenation.
Possible Risks & Complications
This program is safer than standard laser resurfacing but mild side effects may occur:
- Redness & Swelling (1–3 days).
- Mild Peeling or Dryness during recovery.
- Pinpoint Scabbing if fractional CO₂ is used.
- Rare PIH – minimized with wound-healing boosters and strict sun care.
Surgical Techniques Used
- Laser Options: Fractional CO₂, Er:YAG, Er:Glass, or Picosecond fractional lasers.
- Regenerative Booster Infusion: PDRN, PN, peptides, exosomes, PRP, or growth factors.
- Delivery Method: Boosters applied topically after laser or infused via microneedling/air-jet.
- Combination Therapy: Often paired with subcision, RF microneedling, or skin boosters for deeper scars.
Protocol: Typically 3–5 sessions, spaced 4–8 weeks apart.
Recovery & Aftercare
Immediately: Redness, warmth, and mild swelling.
1–3 Days: Soothing effect from boosters accelerates healing.
1 Week: Texture looks smoother, redness reduced.
1–6 Months: Collagen remodeling continues with progressive scar improvement.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
- Use hydrating, soothing barrier creams.
- Avoid retinoids, acids, or scrubs for 5–7 days.
- Daily SPF 50+ sunscreen is mandatory.
Results & Longevity
- After 1 Session: Skin feels calmer, hydrated, and brighter.
- After 2–3 Sessions: Noticeable improvement in scar depth and redness.
- After 4–5 Sessions: Long-term collagen remodeling, smoother texture, and stronger skin barrier.
- Longevity: Results last 1–2 years, with maintenance sessions every 12 months.
