Visit Us When You Have Scars from Facial Eczema

Hello. We are SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic, located in Cheongdam-dong.

These days, among cosmetic procedures, what people prefer most is not a dramatic change in appearance, but rather clear skin. This is because people's perception of skin has changed significantly, not only for their own skin but also when looking at people of the opposite or same sex.

As a result, when asked about their ideal type, the majority of Koreans, who are sensitive to trends, would say ‘someone with clear skin’. While beauty and good looks are still a top priority, there are also cases where skin is considered the number one priority.

Therefore, if you have many large and small scars on your face, some people might find it uncomfortable to interact with you. If you perceive yourself that way in the eyes of others, you should assume that others will think the same about you.

There can be various reasons for scars on the face, but the most common facial scar is ‘acne scars’.

People with a skin type prone to acne often have many scars from acne from childhood into adulthood. Such individuals can achieve improvement through consistent, regular, non-surgical management at SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Facial Eczema

However, one of the things that can be quite difficult to manage is scars caused by facial eczema.

Eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation, itching, rash, redness, swelling, oozing, and scaling of the skin. While symptoms and causes vary depending on the type, common types of eczema include atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis.

When experiencing these conditions, it is generally advisable to visit a dermatology clinic or a facility like SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic that offers cosmetic and functional improvements. However, most people do not perceive dermatitis as serious, so managing it with ointment is also a common approach.

However, for a complete and early correction, utilizing a medical facility is the most ideal approach.

Eczema often appears not only on the face but also on other exposed areas of the skin. Most modern people suffer from stress due to eczema, with causes including genetic predisposition, overactive immune systems, adverse reactions to chemicals, detergents, metals, and cosmetics, as well as weakened skin barrier function.

Furthermore, common causes among modern people include temperature changes, lack of humidity, and stress. Smoking can also have an impact. For those who lack patience, facial eczema can worsen when irritated by hands, leading to scar formation.

Facial Eczema Scar Removal

Therefore, scars caused by facial eczema are difficult to manage on your own, and once formed, they are hard to remove permanently. At SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic, we aim to minimize these scars as much as possible.

It is necessary to minimize them as much as possible. At our clinic, we proceed with appropriate treatment methods to prevent scars from forming as much as possible, as the depth and shape of wounds vary.

This requires various treatments depending on the patient's eczema extent, depth, and area. Our clinic offers laser treatment, injection therapy, compression therapy, scar treatment aids, and surgical methods.

Since we need to check the patient's skin condition, if you have scars on your face due to eczema, or if you have facial scars for other reasons and wish to alleviate them more than their current state, you are welcome to visit SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Furthermore, if you have already received treatment at a dermatology clinic and have not seen significant improvement, you can also come for a consultation to verify whether proper improvement has occurred.
