Alar Reduction Scar

SST skin grafting is a skin pigment regeneration procedure, and its results have already been proven in many vitiligo patients and scar patients.
JDA, a world-class SCI-level dermatology journal, lists SST skin grafting by Dr. Kim Dong-seok, director of Eureka Dermatology.

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.

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.

This part also varies depending 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, they were about 6 months old. The white scar on the front slit was one surgery, and the nose ball reduction scar was performed in two surgeries. However, depending on the severity of the scar or the patient's situation, the number of surgeries and treatment period may be longer.

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 wet wipe or remove the surgical site 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 hands to remove the ooze. It is also important to keep the surgical site from moving as much as possible. You will need 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 put on makeup after removing the band (one week after surgery), but please refrain from doing so if possible. Naturally, drinking alcohol and smoking do not help skin regeneration. Please be patient for about one week after surgery.

Currently, many patients have been treated for white scar treatment and have achieved satisfactory results. However, there are not many people who want to disclose the treated area, so we are sorry that we can only release before and after photos published on the website. I hope that many people will be encouraged to receive treatment well and have the same concerns. Depending on the situation, the director may cut out only the affected area and explain it to help you understand, but Eureka Dermatology does not use before and after photos without the patient's consent.

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.
