Recovery data is not published for this procedure. It is a Korean domestic brand name with no independent clinical literature. We prefer stating that the data is unavailable over publishing unsupported numbers.
Bruising and swelling over the treated scars are expected for several days, and scars can re-tether so the change is not necessarily lasting.
