What is Subcision? & How It Works?

Subcision is a minimally invasive dermatological procedure designed to treat atrophic, depressed acne scars—especially rolling scars tethered by fibrous tissue. These scars form when inflammation damages the skin’s deeper layers, causing the skin to sink due to fibrous bands pulling it downward.

Subcision works by mechanically releasing these fibrous strands using a special hypodermic or Nokor needle, freeing the skin surface and allowing it to rise to a more natural level. The minor trauma also stimulates collagen production, encouraging the skin to repair itself and smoothen over time.
