INTRODUCTION:
- Most of us have acne at some point in our lives. Although our breakouts subside, they usually leave behind scars that last a lifetime. Acne occurs due to the clogging of hair follicles by oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation from bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes.
- Acne scars not only leave a visible imprint on the skin but can also have a profound impact on an individual’s self-esteem and overall well-being.
SUBCISION:
- Subcision technique involves the insertion of a specialized needle beneath the scarred area, where fibrous bands tether the scar to the underlying tissue.
- By disrupting these fibrous connections, subcision releases the scar from its anchored position, allowing the skin’s natural regenerative processes to elevate and smooth out the scarred area over time.
- This method not only reduces the visible depressions associated with acne scars but also stimulates collagen production, further enhancing the skin’s texture and appearance.
BENEFITS:
- Release of Fibrous Bands: Subcision severs the fibrous bands anchoring acne scars, allowing the skin to lift and fill naturally.
- Collagen Stimulation: The procedure promotes collagen production, aiding in the skin’s natural healing and further improving texture.
- Reduced Scar Depth: By disrupting the tethering effect, subcision effectively minimizes the visible depressions associated with acne scars.
- Suitable for Various Scars: It can be used on a range of acne scars, including rolling and tethered scars, offering a versatile treatment option.
- Natural Healing Process: By releasing the scar from its anchored position, the body’s natural healing mechanisms are harnessed to improve the scar’s appearance.
- Enhanced Aesthetic Outcome: Subcision can significantly improve the overall appearance of acne-scarred skin, leading to a smoother and more even complexion.
