Subcision is a specialized dermatological procedure employed to address and improve the appearance of certain types of scars on the skin, particularly atrophic scars. Atrophic scars are depressions or indentations in the skin caused by conditions such as acne, surgery, or trauma. The primary objective of subcision is to reduce the visibility of these scars and promote a smoother skin texture.

Understanding Subcision
Subcision is a dermatological procedure designed to address the appearance of scars, particularly those caused by acne or other skin conditions. The technique involves the use of a specialized needle to break the fibrous bands or septae that tether the skin down and contribute to the formation of depressed scars. By releasing these attachments, subcision allows the skin to elevate, reducing the visibility of scars and promoting a smoother skin surface. Further as needle creates controlled injury it stimulates body to rebuild new collagen and elastin and helps in reducing the depth of scar by filling in the pits. Since a needle is involved, numbing cream is also applied before procedure to make it painless and comfortable. Post-procedure, slight redness and crusting can arise for a few days. The body can take about 2-4 weeks to rebuild collagen, so results start appearing slowly and keep improving with successive sessions.
Benefits of Subcision
Scar Improvement: Subcision is highly effective in improving the appearance of scars, particularly atrophic scars caused by conditions like acne.
Minimally Invasive: One of the notable advantages of subcision is its minimally invasive nature. Unlike more aggressive surgical procedures, subcision can be performed in an office setting, often with minimal downtime and no discomfort.
Enhanced Collagen Production: Subcision not only addresses existing scars but also stimulates the production of collagen, a crucial protein for skin health. The formation of new collagen helps in further improving skin texture over time; it enhances open pores and gives little firmness to the skin.
Suitable for Various Skin Types: Subcision is considered safe for various skin types and tones, making it an inclusive option for individuals seeking scar revision.
Long-Lasting Results: While individual results may vary, many individuals experience long-lasting improvements in the appearance of their scars following subcision. The procedure’s impact on collagen production contributes to sustained positive outcomes.
