Clinical Skin & Scar Mapping in Gangnam, Seoul
A doctor examines your skin under magnification, classifies your pore pattern and scar type, and builds a staged treatment plan — the starting point for every texture patient.
The Starting Point for Every Texture Concern
Enlarged pores, shallow rolling texture, and deeper boxcar or icepick scarring each respond to different treatments — and using the wrong one wastes both time and money. Before recommending any texture treatment, we need an accurate picture of exactly what's on your skin.
Your Clinical Skin & Scar Mapping begins with a close examination under magnification, allowing your doctor to classify your pore pattern and scar type precisely. From there, you'll leave with a clear, staged treatment plan sequencing the right combination of treatments in the right order.
Because texture concerns often respond best to layered treatments over time rather than a single session, this mapping step is what makes sure your plan is efficient from the very first visit.
- Accurate pore & scar type classification
- Personalized, staged treatment roadmap
- Available in-clinic or via video for international patients
- No downtime — required first step for every texture patient

Your Consultation & Next Steps
Your doctor reviews how long your texture concerns have been present, any prior treatments, and your skincare routine.
A close examination under magnification identifies your specific pore pattern and scar classification — shallow rolling, boxcar, or icepick.
Your doctor recommends the right sequence of treatments — such as microneedling, RF microneedling, or fractional laser — matched to your scar type.
You leave with a clear written summary of your staged plan, including recommended treatments, sequencing, and estimated timeline.
Some patients are able to start same-day treatment, such as a chemical peel, immediately following consultation.

Clinical Skin & Scar Mapping — FAQ
Do I need this before any other pores or scarring treatment?
Yes — this consultation is the required starting point for new texture patients, ensuring your treatment plan is matched to your specific pore or scar type rather than guessed at.
What's the difference between rolling, boxcar, and icepick scars?
Rolling scars create shallow, wave-like texture; boxcar scars have defined, box-shaped edges; icepick scars are narrow and deep. Each responds best to a different treatment or combination, which is why classification matters.
Can I start treatment the same day?
Some patients can — a lighter treatment like a chemical peel may be available same-day, while others require a scheduled follow-up for procedures like microneedling or laser resurfacing.
Is there a fee for the consultation?
Remote video/written consultations for international patients are free. In-clinic consultations may carry a small assessment fee, which is typically credited toward your treatment if you proceed.
What treatments might be recommended after my consultation?
Depending on your scar type, your doctor may recommend microneedling, RF microneedling, fractional laser resurfacing, or a combination tailored to you.
