    Studysummary This study found that transtherapy, a treatment using Korean medicine, significantly improved acne scars, reducing the scarring grade from an average of 3.5 to 1.5 in moderate and severe cases. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
    The study examined the effectiveness of transtherapy, a Korean Medicine treatment, on two male patients with moderate to severe acne scars. Using a 26G precision needle to create micro-wounds and promote skin regeneration, the treatment significantly improved acne scars. The Qualitative Global Acne Scarring Grading System scores decreased from 3.5±0.71 to 1.5±0.71, and photo evaluations showed an average improvement score of 8.33±0.52 on a 10-point scale. The study concluded that transtherapy was beneficial for promoting skin regeneration in moderate to severe acne scars, with no reported side effects, though further studies were recommended.
