Before you arrive

If you are injured, do this first.

If bleeding does not stop, the wound is severe, or there is loss of consciousness, call 119 immediately. For manageable cuts, protect the wound and contact us before visiting.

Step 01

Press to stop bleeding

Apply direct pressure

Use clean gauze or cloth and press for 5–10 minutes. Avoid checking every few seconds, as this can restart bleeding.

Tap / hover to flip

Rinse wound lightly and cover with gauze

Step 02

Rinse lightly, then cover

Protect the wound

Rinse gently with running water if possible, cover with clean gauze, and avoid putting strong disinfectant inside a deep wound.

Timing matters

Earlier assessment and closure may help reduce infection risk and support better scar-line management, especially on the face.

Tap / hover to flip

Do not remove embedded foreign objects from a wound

Step 04

Do not pull objects out

Leave foreign material in place

If glass, metal, or another object is embedded, do not remove it yourself. Cover the area and come in for assessment.

Receive wound assessment

Get precise sutures

Closure is planned with scar direction, tissue tension, and wound location in mind.

What we treat

For wounds where scarring matters.

Do not wait too long when a cut is deep, open, bleeding, or located on a visible area such as the face or forehead.

Face / Forehead

Facial lacerations

Visible wounds need alignment

Facial wounds require careful edge matching because even small scars can be noticeable.

Tap / hover to flip

Knife / Glass

Cuts from sharp objects

Deep cuts may need layers

Knife, glass, dish, mirror, or travel-related cuts may need careful closure beyond a simple surface stitch.

Tap / hover to flip

Open Wounds

Gaps or separated edges

Open wounds should be assessed

When wound edges are separated, early medical closure may support cleaner healing and scar control.

The philosophy of GYEOL

The same stitches can leave a different line.

Closing a wound is only the beginning. The way a wound is repaired can significantly influence how a scar heals. Plastic surgeons routinely perform meticulous suturing and consider factors such as skin tension, wound direction, facial movement, and tissue alignment to help minimize visible scarring.

Scar-conscious closure

Led by board-certified plastic surgeon, precise suturing techniques focused on minimizing visible scarring.

From stitches to scar care

Follow-up guidance is part of the process, not an afterthought.

X-ray / CT if needed

Imaging may be used when fracture or foreign material is suspected.

On-site imaging support

When the wound is more than a surface cut.

If bone injury, embedded glass, or deeper trauma is suspected, X-ray or CT assessment may be considered before treatment.

X-ray imaging support for wound assessment

X-Ray if needed

CT scan imaging support for deeper wound assessment
