White scar treatment, SST skin grafting
A skin regeneration and restoration surgery method that revives your skin to its original state, not a treatment to cover up scars!
SST skin grafting is a good treatment improvement in the facial area, especially for white scar pigment regeneration. To date, more than 10,710 SST skin grafts have been performed. And a significant number of patients have undergone SST skin grafting on their faces.

Scars that can be treated with SST skin grafting
Plastic scars, surgical scars, wound/self-injury scars, acne scars, tattoo removal scars, burn scars, white stretch marks, and various hypopigmentation that require pigment restoration

The core of SST skin grafting is
'Pigment regeneration of the skin'
The key to SST skin grafting is that when the skin tissue is removed very finely and transplanted, the melanocytes responsible for the pigment of the skin are engrafted into the transplanted skin, and then the surrounding skin is also increased to regenerate the pigment of the skin.
In other words, it is a treatment method that allows the skin color to be the same as the surrounding skin color.

The most difficult problem in scar treatment
Solve 'skin pigment regeneration'!
In addition, depending on the individual's skin and scar size and condition, SST skin grafting alone can be used to treat the disease, or laser or drug therapy can be used to create a synergistic effect.
There is almost no pain or scarring, and since it can be performed on any area, it has the advantage of being able to be performed on all ages, and I think it will be applied to more fields in the future.
The beginning of SST skin grafting Eureka!
SST skin grafting, which was developed for the purpose of treating vitiligo, has advanced a lot after 10 years, and as a result,
it is being incorporated into various scar treatments in addition to vitiligo treatment.
Research and development for scar treatment, skin regeneration and restoration
Dermatologist Director Kim Dong-seok, from direct development to treatment!
In the early days, when publishing academic papers, the punch size was 0.8mm, and now it is reduced to around 0.4mm.
By utilizing these small punch sizes, they minimize the risk of scarring and prevent pebble (embo-shaped) scars that can occur with large grafts.
The smaller the punch size, the more skilled know-how is required and the more detailed concentration is required.

Scar Treatment SST Skin Grafting Q&A
Q1. Is SST skin grafting effective for scar treatment?
SST skin grafting is a skin pigment regeneration procedure, and its results have already been proven in many vitiligo patients and scar patients.
The paper on SST skin grafting by Dr. Kim Dong-seok, director of Eureka Dermatology, is listed in the world-class SCI-level dermatology journal JDA.

Q2. Will there be another scar after the procedure?
Director Kim Dong-seok of Eureka Dermatology has the know-how to transplant skin tissue very finely (within 0.4 mm).
The skin tissue is transplanted very finely, so there is almost no scarring.
If scarring had been a problem, many vitiligo patients would not have received SST skin grafts on their faces.

Q3. Is it possible to treat scars all at once?
This part varies from patient to patient, depending on the size and situation of the scar.
If the scar is small, the treatment may be completed in 1~2 sessions, and depending on the situation, it may be completed in 3~4 sessions.
Melanin cells are said to be lazy. It does not produce more than a certain part of the cells.
Make sure that the pigment fills up as quickly as possible, and if it is insufficient, it can be refilled with revision surgery.

Q4. What is the duration of scar treatment?
This part also depends on the size and situation of the scar for each patient.
In the case of surgical cases that were used as reference materials when treating scars with SST and publishing the results in a world-class dermatological journal, the surgical cases were about 6 months old.
The white scar on the front slit was operated once, and the nose reduction scar was operated on two times.
However, depending on the severity of the scar or the patient's situation, the number of surgeries or treatment period may be longer.

Q5. Can children undergo SST skin grafting for scar treatment?
In conclusion, surgical treatment is possible even if you are about 5 years old.
Of course, there are parts where the child has to endure surgical treatment on his own, but if the child can endure the pain of receiving the injection, surgical treatment is possible. Since it is an operation, pain is bound to follow. Usually, anesthesia is given to both the affected area and the normal skin, but if this anesthetic process is well tolerated, the process of removing and transplanting the actual skin can be considered almost painless. By the way, putting anesthetic injections without pain is the specialty of Dr. Kim Dong-seok, who has a long experience.

Q6. What should I pay attention to after the procedure?
First of all, in order for the transplanted skin to engraft well, of course, foreign objects should not enter the surgical site.
Therefore, to prevent water from entering, you can wipe your face with a wipe or remove the surgical area and wash your face.
It is important to avoid sweating as much as possible.
If it oozes occasionally, you can gently push it out with your hand to drain the ooze.
It is also important to ensure that the surgical site does not move as much as possible.
You will have to wear a band on the surgical site for about one week, and you can wash your face after one week.
Do not rub the surgical site.
You can wear makeup after removing the band (one week after surgery), but please refrain if possible.
Naturally, drinking alcohol and smoking do not help regenerate the skin. Please be patient for about one week after surgery.

Q7. It is said that vitiligo is covered by insurance, but is scar treatment covered by insurance?
Unfortunately, SST skin grafting for scar treatment is not covered by medical insurance.
Regarding actual expenses, you should contact the actual cost insurance company you have subscribed to.
