Scars & Texture
Rough Skin Texture
Rough or uneven skin texture comes from dead skin build-up, sun damage, enlarged pores and shallow scarring. Dermatologists smooth it with retinoids, chemical peels, laser genesis, fractional lasers and RF microneedling.
Overview
Texture problems are among the most common reasons people visit Korean dermatology clinics. The right treatment depends on whether the cause is surface build-up or deeper collagen damage.
