Subcision is a simple and safe office surgery procedure for treatment of depressed acne scars. It can easily be combined with other treatments such as PRP, Stem cells, fractional laser and dermapen for maximum efficacy.
During the subcision, Deep acne scars are released and lifted up using a special needle. This special needle is used to manually break down scar tissue that are anchoring down your skin. The subcision acne scar procedure is more than just the mechanical release of the strands of fibrous scar tissue.
In fact, multiple healing processes bring about acne scar improvement. The mechanical action of the needle and release of the scar tissue creates a pocket of blood beneath the skin. Blood vessels which are disrupted during the subcision allows blood to accumulate into the treated area.
This blood clot prevents short-term reattachment of your scars and contains growth factors for healing. This creates an environment for collagen regeneration and improvement of your scar appearance over time.
Subcision is an excellent treatment option for the following types of scars:
- Rolling acne scars
- Chickenpox scars
- Stretchable scars from injury or surgery
