Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

These answers are general. Your provider can guide you based on your needs and health history.

What is subcision, and how does it work?

Subcision is a minimally invasive scar-revision procedure that targets fibrous bands beneath depressed acne scars. Using a specialized needle or blunt cannula, the bands are carefully released, allowing the skin to lift and encouraging natural collagen remodeling. Over time, this may reduce the appearance of depressed scars and improve skin texture.

What types of acne scars can subcision treat?

Subcision is particularly used for selected depressed acne scars, including:

Rolling scars: broad, shallow depressions that create an uneven appearance.
Tethered scars: depressed scars attached to underlying tissue by fibrous bands.
Selected boxcar scars when underlying tethering is present.

Deep ice-pick scars typically respond better to other targeted scar-revision techniques.

Can subcision completely remove acne scars?

Subcision can improve the appearance of certain depressed acne scars, but complete scar removal cannot be guaranteed. Improvement depends on scar depth, severity, skin characteristics, and healing. Some clients may need multiple sessions or a combination of treatments.

How many subcision treatments will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the severity and type of scarring. Some clients experience improvement after one treatment; others may benefit from 2–3 sessions or more, typically spaced several weeks apart to allow healing. A consultation helps determine a plan.
