Case Study on Treating Acne Scar Using Hani-maehwa Laser

Abstract Objective : The aim of this study is to report the effect of Hani-maehwa laser(fractional mode) treatment on acne scar. Methods : The patient with atrophic facial acne scars was treated with 5 sessions of laser therapy at 4-week intervals. The therapeutic response to treatment was assessed at 3 months after last laser session. The treatment effect was evaluated by standardized photography, anti aging, skin brightness and flatness. That was measured by micro fluorescence measurement camera(ECO SKIN, Cuvitz Inc.) in 16(le ft zygoma) and 26(right zygoma) spot. And side effects were also checked. Results : Atrophic facial acne scars have improved markedly. Anti aging, skin brightness and flatness were improved. Especially anti aging and flatness were noticeably improved. Ad verse effects were not reported. Conclusions : Korean medicine cautery method applies to high level laser(CO 2 Hani-maehwa laser). These are different designs but same principle. It can be considered that laser therapy is effective method for treating acne scars. Key words : Hani-maehwa laser; High level laser; Laser therapy; Acne; Scar
