Subcision Malaysia

Effective Acne Scar Treatment with Subcision Malaysia

GLOJAS Specialist Clinic offers expert subcision treatments in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat depressed acne scars. Subcision releases tethered scar tissue beneath the skin, improving scar depth, texture, and stimulating collagen production for smoother, more even skin.

Performed by LCP-certified aesthetic physicians, acne scar treatment at GLOJAS Specialist Clinic is a trusted solution for stubborn scars that do not respond to topical treatments alone.

What Is Subcision?

Subcision is a minor, precise procedure that uses a fine needle to break fibrotic bands anchoring acne scars to deeper layers of the skin. By releasing these tethered scars, the skin surface lifts and remodels naturally.

The controlled micro-trauma triggers collagen regeneration, improving skin texture and smoothness over time. At GLOJAS Specialist Clinic, this treatment is often part of a personalised, multi-modality scar treatment plan.

5 Benefits of Subcision

Reduces tethered acne scars

Releases fibrotic bands beneath the skin, lifting depressed scars and creating a more even skin surface.

Improves skin texture and smoothness

Stimulates collagen and encourages natural skin remodeling, resulting in smoother, more refined skin over time.

Minimises scar depth and appearance

Releasing tethered scars visibly lifts depressions, reducing depth and making them less noticeable.

Stimulates collagen production naturally

Controlled micro-trauma triggers the body’s natural repair mechanisms, enhancing collagen formation and overall skin structure.

Can be combined with other scar treatments

This treatment can be paired with PRP facial, dermal fillers, or laser therapy to accelerate healing and maximize improvement.

How Subcision Works

  • Releases Scar Tissue: Fibrous bands beneath the skin are cut, releasing tension and lifting scars closer to the surface.

  • Promotes Collagen Regeneration: Micro-trauma triggers natural collagen production, improving skin structure over weeks.

  • Immediate Scar Improvement: Many patients see visible lifting and softening of scars after the first session.

  • Minimally Invasive with Fast Recovery: Sessions take 20–30 minutes, with only mild bruising or swelling for a few days.

  • Safe for All Skin Types: Experienced doctors ensure predictable results with a low risk of complications.

Subcision vs Laser Scar Treatments

  • Subcision: Works beneath the skin to release deep, tethered scars

  • Laser: Resurfaces skin from the surface, stimulating collagen and refining texture

This acne scar treatment addresses the root cause of acne scars, making it ideal for deep, indented scars, while lasers are best for surface texture and pigmentation.
