Subcision is a minor in-office procedure used to treat depressed acne scars, rolling scars, and skin indentations. A fine needle is inserted beneath the scar to release fibrotic bands that tether the skin downward, stimulating collagen formation and allowing the skin to lift and smooth naturally.
This treatment provides immediate improvement in skin texture with gradual enhancement as collagen rebuilds.

Is Subcision Right for You?
Subcision is ideal for individuals with depressed or rolling acne scars who want to improve texture without invasive surgery. It’s best suited for non-active acne and those in good overall skin health.
It may not be suitable for individuals with bleeding disorders, keloid tendencies, or active skin infections.
