To understand why subcision is so effective, it is important to know how it works:
Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience
A fine needle or cannula is inserted beneath the scarred area
Fibrous scar bands are carefully released
Blood pooling under the skin promotes natural healing
Collagen and elastin production increases, improving skin texture
Gradual lifting of scars occurs over the next few weeks
Thus, subcision works from the inside out, unlike surface-level treatments.
Subcision is suitable for both men and women who have:
Acne scars (especially rolling and boxcar scars)
Depressed or indented scars
Tethered scars that do not respond to lasers or peels
Uneven skin texture due to scarring
Old scars that have not improved with topical treatments
However, individuals with active acne, skin infections, bleeding disorders, or certain medical conditions may require evaluation before treatment. Therefore, a detailed consultation at Indian Skin Hair Aesthetics Skin Clinic is essential.
Subcision is especially effective for:
Rolling Acne Scars
These scars have a wave-like appearance and are caused by fibrous bands under the skin. Subcision works extremely well by cutting these bands.
Boxcar Scars
Although boxcar scars are wider, subcision significantly improves their depth when combined with other treatments.
Depressed Surgical Scars
Subcision helps release scar tissue formed after surgery or injury.
Tethered Scars
Scars that are attached to deeper tissue layers respond excellently to subcision.
Subcision offers several advantages, especially when performed by experienced dermatologists:
✔ Minimally invasive procedure
✔ Targets deep scars effectively
✔ Stimulates natural collagen production
✔ Long-lasting and permanent improvement
✔ Safe for Indian skin tones
✔ Can be combined with other treatments
✔ Minimal downtime
Because of these benefits, subcision is considered one of the most effective acne scar treatments available today.
At Indian Skin Hair Aesthetics Skin Clinic, we follow a personalized and result-oriented approach. Each patient receives a customized treatment plan based on:
Scar type and severity
Skin type and sensitivity
Age and healing capacity
Previous treatments
Moreover, we use advanced techniques, sterile equipment, and international safety protocols to ensure optimal results.
Although subcision alone gives excellent results, combining it with other treatments can further enhance outcomes.
Common combination therapies include:
Subcision + PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Subcision + Microneedling
Subcision + Laser Treatment
Subcision + Dermal Fillers
As a result, patients experience faster healing, better collagen stimulation, and smoother skin texture.
PRP therapy uses your own blood to extract growth factors that accelerate healing. When combined with subcision:
Healing is faster
Collagen production increases
Skin glow improves
Scar depth reduces significantly
Therefore, Subcision with PRP is one of the most recommended treatments at our clinic.
Procedure time: 30–45 minutes
Number of sessions: 1–3 sessions (depending on scar severity)
Gap between sessions: 4–6 weeks
Most patients notice visible improvement after the first session, while results continue to improve over the next few months.
One of the biggest advantages of subcision is minimal downtime.
Mild swelling for 2–3 days
Temporary bruising for up to 7 days
Normal activities can resume within 24–48 hours
However, avoiding strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and makeup for a few days is advised.
