Subcision

This relatively simple technique can be extremely useful for improving the appearance of acne scars.

Scars which are depressed below the skin usually have fibrous attachments pulling them down. Subcision techniques use needles under the skin to break the attachments and free the scar.

The technique may be effective on its own but is usually combined with a second procedure such as needling or laser resurfacing.

A local anesthetic injection is used to numb the area and make the procedure more comfortable.
