Subcision is a minor dermatological procedure used to treat deep, tethered acne scars that do not respond to creams or surface treatments. The technique releases the fibrous bands under the scar, allowing new collagen to form and the skin to lift naturally over time.
Subcision involves inserting a fine needle or cannula beneath the scar to gently break the fibrous tissue that pulls the skin downward. This releases the skin and allows it to heal from below, reducing the appearance of indented acne scars over time.
At NOVO Aesthetics, every subcision session is performed by trained medical professionals under strict hygiene and precision standards.
We tailor your treatment plan based on scar depth, skin type, and overall goals to ensure natural, consistent results.
For deeper or mixed scars, subcision is often paired with:
PRP Therapy: speeds up healing and collagen repair
Microneedling or Laser: refines texture for a smoother finish
Our dermatologists design combination plans based on your unique skin needs.
