What Is Subcision?
Subcision is one of the most effective minimally invasive treatments for depressed acne scars at SKINnovative medical spa in Beverly Hills. Unlike surface treatments, subcision works beneath the skin to release the fibrotic bands causing indented scars, stimulating natural collagen production for long-lasting skin smoothness.
Subcision is an advanced treatment for depressed and rolling acne scars that cannot be corrected with surface treatments alone.
How Does It Work?
A specialized needle releases fibrotic scar bands beneath the skin, allowing the surface to lift and heal smoothly. This stimulates collagen production from within.
