I have an unremoved childhood scar on my knee from a fall in elementary school, and it looks more prominent as I get older. If it were just hyperpigmentation, I could cover it up with makeup, but the skin texture in the scar area is smooth and raised, so even when I apply foundation, it just looks cakey and uneven. I think it's too late for over-the-counter ointments... I'm thinking about surgery, but can childhood scars be removed cleanly? Since it's an old mark, the skin tissue has hardened. Is there a place that can remove this kind of childhood scar cleanly without recurrence?

Hmm, what kind of scar is it? ㅠㅠ You know, the treatment methods differ for every type of scar. I suffered from a keloid for a while and had it removed at Cheongdam Gium, so you should check that place out.

Places that make it smooth are really good... I guess they use good equipment too... heh
If you have old scars, try visiting I Love Dermatology. Treatment is indeed harder the older they are, but I received laser treatment on a 3-year-old scar, and the results were better than I expected. After the scar treatment, I also had a procedure done on the pigmentation that had formed.
If you use a combination of various procedures for scar treatment depending on the severity, the skin definitely becomes much smoother. I received treatment at Benjamin Dermatology in Sinsa, and since they are good at scar treatment, you should check it out.
