Subcision

Effectively target rolling acne and boxcar scars

 

How it works

Say Goodbye to Deep Acne Scars

Using a needle and/or cannula, our nurses disconnect tethered scars that pull the surface of the skin downwards. This treatment is effective for rolling acne scars and boxcar scars by freeing the scar tissue that's pulling your skin downwards, resulting in a smoother surface of the skin. This is best done in conjunction with PRP + Microneedling.

FAQs

  • Subcision is performed using a special hypodermic needle inserted through a puncture in the skin surface. The sharp edge of the needle is used to break fibrotic strands that are tethering the scar to the underlying tissue.

    The release of the fibrotic strands and new collagen deposition caused by wound healing leads to cosmetic improvement of the scar. Subcision can be safely performed in the outpatient setting and is usually well tolerated.

  • Individuals vary in their ability to form collagen (scar tissue). The number of subcisions required to correct a depression will depend on the type, location, severity of depression, and intensity of treatment.

    one to three visits suffice for the majority of cases of moderate scarring. Intervals of at least one month in-between treatments are generally recommended.

  • Immediately after subcision:

    • Pressure and ice are applied to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising.

    • Makeup may be applied to camouflage bruised areas.
