HIFU for Acne Scars Cost in Korea
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) for acne scars is a non-invasive treatment that targets deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling and skin regeneration. In Korea, this method is often combined with fractional delivery techniques or multiple depths to break down fibrotic tissue and improve skin texture. This procedure is popular in Korean dermatology clinics due to its minimal downtime and visible results in skin smoothing and scar reduction over time. It's particularly effective for patients with deep, atrophic scars or enlarged pores resulting from previous acne breakouts.
