Rolling Acne Scar Treatment in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: Rolling scars are broad, shallow depressions with soft, sloping edges that give skin a wavy look, caused by fibrous bands tethering the skin to deeper tissue. They often respond to collagen-stimulating treatments such as Potenza RF microneedling (full face ₩99,000, tip not included, first visit, VAT excluded); at Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon the doctor may combine it with other methods after assessment.

How rolling scars form
After deep inflammatory acne, fibrous bands can form under the skin and pull the surface down, creating gentle hollows. They tend to look more obvious in side lighting and can become more noticeable as skin loses volume with age. Lower-face scarring from hormonal acne is a common example.
Treatment options
- Potenza RF microneedling: heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and help lift the depressed areas.
- Subcision: a technique to release tethering bands; whether it is suitable and its cost are discussed at consultation.
- Fraxel: may be added to refine surface texture.
Rolling vs boxcar vs ice pick
Rolling scars have soft edges, while boxcar scars have sharp vertical edges and ice pick scars are narrow and deep. A useful self-check: rolling scars often look softer when you gently stretch the skin.
Aftercare
Keep the skin clean and moisturised, avoid makeup for about 24 hours after microneedling, use sunscreen daily and avoid saunas and strenuous exercise for a couple of days.
Rolling Acne Scar Treatment FAQ
What do rolling acne scars look like?
Rolling scars are wide, shallow depressions with smooth, sloping edges that make the skin surface look uneven or wavy, especially in overhead or side lighting.
What is the best treatment for rolling scars?
There is no single best treatment for everyone. Collagen-stimulating methods such as RF microneedling are commonly used, sometimes combined with techniques that release tethered scars, and the doctor chooses based on your scar pattern.
How long until I see results on rolling scars?
Collagen remodelling takes time, so improvement is usually gradual over several months and builds with each session in a series.
