Looking for a clinic in South Korea that does real CO2 ablative laser (acne scars, deep wrinkles, uneven skin texture)
Hi all,
I'm trying to find a clinic in South Korea that offers genuine CO2 ablative laser treatment for acne scars, ideally one that's well reviewed, but I'm having a hard time tracking one down.
Some background: I had this treatment done about 10 years ago and it was incredible for my acne scars. The downtime was significant, around 1 to 2 weeks of bleeding, scabbing, and peeling, but the results were worth it.
Recently I went back to the same doctor in the US and asked for the same treatment. She claimed to have done it, but the experience was nothing like before. No bleeding, no scabbing, maybe a day of mild redness. Whatever she actually performed, it clearly wasn't the same intensity, and the results reflected that.
Attaching a photo of some IG influencers to give a sense of the treatment intensity / look I'm after.
What I'm not looking for:
- Pico Fraxel
- Pico
- PicoWay
- PicoSure
I want a true ablative CO2 treatment, not a gentler picosecond alternative.
Why I think I'm a good candidate for an intensive treatment:
- I work fully remote with no meetings, so 1 to 2 weeks of downtime is completely fine
- I've been through this recovery before and know what to expect
If anyone has a clinic or doctor recommendation in Seoul (or elsewhere in Korea) that still performs real CO2 ablative laser, I'd really appreciate it. Personal experiences especially welcome.
Thanks!
