Subcision is most effective for rolling acne scars and skin depressions caused by fibrous bands under the skin. It’s not ideal for icepick or very superficial scars.

Some improvement may be visible within a few weeks as swelling reduces, but full results usually develop over 1–3 months as collagen rebuilds the skin’s texture.

Subcision is done under local anesthesia, so most patients feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. You may feel some pressure or tugging, but it shouldn’t be painful.

This depends on the severity of the scars. Many people see visible improvement in just 1–3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart.

You might experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days after the procedure, but most people return to their normal routine within 2–3 days.

Yes. Subcision works very well when paired with treatments like microneedling, MNRF, or laser therapy for more enhanced results and better scar remodeling.

If you have tethered, indented scars (especially rolling acne scars) and prefer a minimally invasive option, subcision could be a great fit. A consultation will help confirm if it’s right for your skin.
