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