Subcision Procedure for Acne Scars & Cellulite

Subcision is a minimally invasive technique which can be combined with volumisers, PRP or volumising skin collagen treatments. Depressed acne scars, scars below the surface of the skin, can be treated with this technique. The reason why they are depressed is because there are fibrous bands underneath the skin that are tethered down the surface of the skin. The goal with Subcision is to use a cannula or a needle through the surface of the skin and cut the fibrous scar tissue pulling down on the skin surface. This allows the skin to be released and lifted since it is no longer bound down.

FAQ’S About Subcision

  • Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat various types of depressed scars, such as acne scars and cellulite. It involves using a special cannula (blunt needle) to break the fibrous bands of tissue that tether the skin down, allowing the skin to lift and smooth out.

  • During the procedure, a cannula is inserted through a small entry point in the skin. The cannula is used to break the fibrous scar tissue that pulls the skin down. Once these fibers are released, the skin is able to rise and create a smoother surface.

  • Yes, Subcision is a safe procedure when performed by Nurse Marjan, at Face to Face by Marjan. We use sterile techniques and advanced equipment to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the treatment.

  • The procedure begins with a consultation to assess your skin and determine the best treatment plan. During the treatment, a local anaesthetic is applied to the area to minimise discomfort. The cannula is then inserted to break the fibrous tissue. The entire procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

  • Results can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the scars. Many patients notice an immediate improvement in the texture of their skin, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated.

  • Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the treatment site, which usually subside within a few days to a week. There is minimal downtime, and most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure.

  • Subcision is suitable for individuals with depressed scars (scars under skin), such as acne scars or cellulite, who are looking for a minimally invasive treatment to improve their skin texture. A consultation is necessary to determine if Subcision is the right option for your specific skin concerns.

  • Preparation involves avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin and fish oil for a few days before the procedure to minimise bruising. Specific instructions will be provided during your consultation.

  • Post-procedure care includes avoiding strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for at least 24 hours. Gentle cleansing and moisturising are recommended, and following any additional care instructions provided will ensure optimal results.
