What Is Acne Scar Subcision?
Acne Scar Subcision is a minor surgical technique that:
- Breaks fibrotic bands beneath depressed scars
- Releases tethered rolling scars
- Stimulates collagen production
- Improves skin contour over time
It is particularly effective for rolling and some boxcar scars.
How Subcision Works
During the procedure:
- Local anesthesia is applied
- A specialized needle or cannula is inserted under the scar
- Fibrous bands are released
- Controlled micro-trauma stimulates collagen remodeling
As the skin heals, new collagen forms and lifts the depressed area.
Best Scar Types for Subcision
Subcision is most effective for:
- Rolling scars
- Tethered depressed scars
- Certain shallow boxcar scars
It is less effective for:
- Ice pick scars
- Superficial pigmentation without depression
Combination Treatment Strategy
For optimal results, subcision may be combined with:
- Fractional laser (Pico Fraxel)
- RF microneedling
- Skin boosters (e.g., regenerative injectables)
- Collagen-stimulating treatments
A customized treatment plan is essential for complex acne scarring.
