What Is Subcision?

Subcision is a surgical technique used to treat depressed acne scars. A specialist dermatologist performs the procedure by inserting a special needle into the skin and using it to separate the thickened scar tissue from the underlying tissue. This allows the skin to return to its normal position and stimulates collagen growth, leading to cosmetic improvement of the scar. Subcision is a minor procedure that can be safely performed in an outpatient setting under local anaesthetic . Most established, advanced acne scars can benefit from this underutilised technique.
