Acne Scar Revision

Acne Scar Revision

Acne scar revision with subcision is a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve the appearance of depressed acne scars by addressing the underlying cause. Subcision works by releasing fibrotic scar bands that pull the skin downward, allowing the skin to lift and heal more evenly. This treatment helps restore smoother texture and improves overall skin quality, especially for rolling and tethered acne scars.

HOW IT WORKS

Subcision uses a fine needle or cannula to carefully break up the fibrous bands beneath the skin that anchor acne scars downward. Once released, the skin is able to elevate naturally, and the controlled injury stimulates collagen production over time leading to smoother, more even skin texture.
