Subcision, also known as subcutaneous incisionless surgery is a treatment used to improve ice-pick, rolling and pitted scars. Scar subcision is commonly used for acne scarring however can be used for scarring all over the body that may be tethered to fibrotic tissue.
The aim of subcision is to release the tethering that is present which is pulling the scarring inwards attaching to the subcutaneous tissue so that the scars volume may improve and become more even. This procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and patients may require anywhere between one to four treatments dependent on the severity of the scarring.
The results from the acne scar subcision treatment can last for years however the procedure may need to be repeated for optimal results.
Recovery from subcision for acne scars is approx. 1 week, there may be swelling and bruising that will settle down throughout this week.
Whilst subcision can provide effective results on its own, some patients whose scarring may be deeper may benefit from pairing a filler treatment to give the skin that extra boost to create as flat appearance as possible.

He explained everything in detail. The Scar Clinic booking team also made the whole process easy and hassle free. I would 100% recommend this practice, top notch service!"
"Great staff, and knowledge. I called the clinic after I had a traumatic experience elsewhere which left me with 2nd-degree burns. Very, very pleased with the results of the burn, it disappeared and left no scarring with the dressing and treatment Mr Goutos used. My experience as a whole has been more than pleasant and I would recommend both the clinic and Mr Goutos to all!"
