What Is Subcision

Subcision is a minor surgical procedure used to treat acne scars, particularly atrophic or depressed scars like rolling scars. It works by breaking the fibrotic strands that tether the scar to deeper layers of the skin, allowing the skin to rise and appear smoother.

How It Works:

  1. A fine needle or cannula is inserted under the skin.

  2. The tool is moved in a fanning motion to release the scar tissue.

  3. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production.

  4. Over time, the skin surface becomes smoother and more even.

How It Works?

Precise Targeting of Scars

During a subcision procedure, a fine needle is inserted into the skin just below the scar tissue. The needle is then carefully maneuvered to break the fibrous bands that pull the skin down and create the indentation. By releasing these bands, the skin is able to rise, filling in the depressed area and creating a smoother surface.

Stimulation of Collagen Production

Subcision not only lifts the skin but also stimulates the production of collagen, the protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As collagen production increases, the skin’s texture improves, and the visibility of black pimples and scars diminishes over time.

Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results

Subcision is a quick, outpatient procedure with minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days. The results of subcision can be long-lasting, with noticeable improvements in skin texture and scar appearance after just one session. For optimal results, subcision can be combined with other treatments, such as laser therapy or chemical peels.

Benefits Doing Subcision

  • Effective Scar Improvement – Subcision releases fibrotic bands pulling down acne scars, allowing the skin to heal and smooth out.

  • Collagen Stimulation – The procedure boosts natural collagen production, improving skin texture over time.

  • Minimally Invasive – Uses a fine needle or cannula with no major incisions, reducing downtime.

  • Clinically Proven – Backed by dermatological studies, subcision is a trusted method for treating atrophic scars.

  • Long-Lasting Results – Once scars are released and collagen forms, the improvements can be permanent.

  • Safe & Well-Tolerated – Performed by trained specialists, subcision has a low risk of complications with proper aftercare.

  • Can Be Combined with Other Treatments – Enhances results when paired with laser therapy, microneedling, or PRP.

Risk & Side Effects

  1. Bruising & Swelling – Common and temporary, usually subsides within a few days.

  2. Pain & Discomfort – Mild soreness at the treatment site, manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

  3. Temporary Redness – Skin may appear red for a few days due to the healing process.

  4. Bleeding & Minor Hematoma – Small blood vessel injury can cause slight bleeding or bruising under the skin.

  5. Infection (Rare) – If not performed under sterile conditions or if aftercare is poor, there is a small risk of infection.

  6. Nodules or Lumps (Temporary) – Some patients may develop small bumps due to collagen formation, which usually resolves on its own.

  7. Skin Pigmentation Changes – Darker skin tones may experience post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), but this can fade over time.

  8. Scarring (Uncommon) – While rare, improper technique or poor healing may cause new scars.

  9. Recurrence of Scars – Some scars may need multiple sessions for optimal results.

How to Minimize Risks:

  • Choose a qualified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.

  • Follow proper post-treatment care (e.g., avoid sun exposure and harsh skincare).

  • Combine with PRP or microneedling to enhance healing and results.

Frequently Asked Question

  • How long does it take to see results from subcision?

    • Some improvement is noticeable immediately, but full results develop over weeks to months as collagen rebuilds. Multiple sessions may be needed for deep scars.
  • Is subcision painful?

    • A local anesthetic is used to numb the area, so discomfort is minimal during the procedure. Some mild soreness may occur afterward but is usually manageable.
  • How many sessions are needed for acne scars?

    • Most patients require 2 to 6 sessions, depending on scar severity. Sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal healing.
  • What is the downtime after subcision?

    • Downtime is minimal, with mild bruising and swelling lasting a few days to a week. Most people can resume normal activities soon after.
  • Can subcision be combined with other treatments?

    • Yes! It works well with microneedling, laser therapy, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), and fillers to enhance results and speed up healing.
