Subcision is a dermatological procedure used to treat various types of scars, including acne scars, stretch marks, and other forms of skin indentations. This technique involves using a fine needle to break the fibrous tissue beneath the skin that causes scarring. By disrupting these fibrous bands, subcision stimulates collagen production and encourages the skin to heal and regenerate, leading to a smoother, more even skin surface.
Subcision is a highly effective treatment for those struggling with deep, depressed scars and can be used in conjunction with other therapies to enhance results.

How
How Subcision Works
Works?
Subcision is performed using a fine needle or cannula, which is carefully inserted beneath the skin to release the fibrous tissue that causes the scarring. Here’s how the procedure works:
- Step 1: Consultation: A thorough consultation is conducted to evaluate the type and depth of the scars and determine if subcision is the right treatment.
- Step 2: Numbing: Local anesthesia or numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure minimal discomfort during the procedure.
- Step 3: Subcision: A small needle or cannula is inserted beneath the skin to break up the scar tissue. This process helps release the tension that causes scarring and allows the skin to heal more evenly.
- Step 4: Post-Treatment Care: After subcision, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness. These side effects typically subside within a few days.
Over time, collagen is stimulated, and the skin begins to regenerate, improving the appearance of scars and enhancing overall skin texture.
