CO₂ Laser + PRP for Acne Scars in Seoul, Korea

CO₂ Laser + PRP is an advanced regenerative treatment that combines ablative fractional laser resurfacing with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. The CO₂ laser stimulates collagen remodeling by creating microscopic treatment zones, while PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to support tissue repair and accelerate skin recovery.

At Myeongdong Obliv Seoul Origin, every patient receives a comprehensive skin assessment before treatment. Our dermatology team evaluates your acne scar type, scar depth, skin condition, collagen loss, pore size, and treatment goals to create a personalized treatment plan.

The goal is to improve acne scars, promote collagen remodeling, support faster healing, and restore smoother, healthier-looking skin.

What Is CO₂ Laser + PRP?

CO₂ laser is an ablative fractional laser that removes microscopic columns of damaged skin while stimulating new collagen production during the healing process.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The concentrated platelets contain naturally occurring growth factors that help support tissue repair and skin regeneration.

Together, they may help improve:

• Atrophic acne scars
• Rolling scars
• Boxcar scars
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin texture
• Acne-damaged skin
• Fine lines
• Overall skin quality

The combination supports both collagen remodeling and the skin's natural healing process.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

CO₂ Laser + PRP may be suitable for patients with:

• Mild to severe acne scars
• Atrophic acne scars
• Mixed acne scar patterns
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin texture
• Acne-damaged skin

Patients with deep ice pick scars may also benefit from combining this treatment with TCA CROSS.

A consultation helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
