Subcision is a minor, non-surgical treatment used to improve the damage on skin caused by acne scars, especially rolling acne scars and tethered box-scar acne scars that create obvious dents and unevenness on the skin. These types of scars are caused by bands of tough tissue that pull the skin downward, creating a sunken appearance.

The goal of Subcision For Acne Scars is to release these bands using a small needle. Once the scar tissues are loosened, the skin would start to lift and become smoother as the treatment triggers the body’s natural healing process, which includes stimulating blood circulation and collagen production, helping to repair the scars over time.

During the Subcision For Acne Scar, the doctor at our affiliated clinic uses a specific needle to gently go under the scarred area of the skin. The needle cuts or loosens the fibrous tissues that pull the skin down. When these tissues are released, the skin will then be free to rise up and reverse the unevenness. The spaces that are now available also allow stimulation of collagen production as well as increase in blood flow, this helps to repair and rebuild the skin naturally.

Subcision does not remove the scars entirely but it helps to make them less visible by significantly reducing its depth. Over time, along with the help of the body’s natural healing, the skin would become smoother and firmer.
