Subcision Scar Treatment

Release tethered scars and smooth your skin's texture from the inside out.

Treatment Overview

Subcision is a highly effective, minimally invasive surgical procedure specifically designed to treat depressed, rolling acne scars and localized skin depressions. Unlike surface treatments, subcision targets the underlying cause of the scar: tight fibrotic bands that anchor the skin downward. By carefully releasing these bands beneath the surface, the skin immediately lifts. The healing process then triggers fresh collagen production, ensuring long-term smoothing and restoration of your skin's natural texture.

Treatment Process

  • 1
    Detailed clinical mapping and marking of the depressed, tethered scars
  • 2
    Thorough cleansing and application of local anesthesia to numb the area
  • 3
    Insertion of a specialized Nokor needle or micro-cannula beneath the skin
  • 4
    Gentle fanning motion to break and release the fibrotic scar tissue bands
  • 5
    Application of pressure and ice to minimize bruising and soothe the skin

Aftercare Instructions

Apply ice packs intermittently to reduce swelling and bruising
Keep the treatment sites clean and avoid makeup for 24 hours
Avoid strenuous workouts, saunas, and hot baths for 48 hours
Sleep with your head elevated to help minimize overnight swelling
Expect mild tenderness and bruising, which resolves in a few days
