Subcision of Acne Scars

What is subcision?
Subcision is a targeted treatment for certain types of depressed acne scars, particularly rolling scars.
Following a thorough consultation, subcision works by releasing the fibrous scar tissue beneath the skin, allowing the area to lift and new connective tissue to form—resulting in improved skin texture and smoother appearance.
How long will my appointment take?
Subcision of acne scarring is dependent on the severity of the skin being treated. It typically takes less than 30 minutes but is usually combined with SkinPen microneedling and platelet-rich plasma or polynucleotide therapies for the most efficient recovery and exceptional results.
Will my treatment hurt?
Every client has a different pain threshold with most clients not requiring a numbing agent for this treatment, but they can be used for increased comfort.
What will I look like immediately after treatment?
Your skin will be mildly red, feel tight, and be slightly swollen immediately after treatment. This lasts for 24-48 hours. Nearly all clients return to normal activities within 48-72 hours.
How long before I see results?
You will notice an improvement in skin tone and texture after 72 hours but the real results begin 4-12 weeks later as your collagen and elastin develop.
