What is it?
What is Acne Scar Subcision?
Quick answer
Subcision is a minor procedure in which a fine needle or cannula is inserted under the skin to release the tethered fibrous bands that pull scars downward. Once released, the skin can lift, and the healing process encourages new collagen to form beneath the scar.
- Targets the root cause of tethered scars
- Can lift depressed rolling scars
- Encourages collagen under the scar
- Works well alongside laser or microneedling
- Minimally invasive in-clinic procedure
