Acne scars can be challenging to treat, but subcision is an effective in-office procedure designed to significantly improve their appearance. At Revitalis Clinic, Mumbai, Dr. Geetanjali Shetty offers subcision treatment for those struggling with deep acne scars, ensuring a smoother and more even skin texture.
Subcision is a minor surgical technique that helps reduce depressed acne scars, wrinkles, and even cellulite. It involves inserting a hypodermic needle under the scar to break the fibrotic bands that tether it to the deeper layers of the skin. This process lifts the scar and stimulates collagen production, leading to gradual skin improvement over multiple sessions.
While primarily used for acne scars, subcision can also be effective in treating scars caused by: ✔ Chickenpox ✔ Wounds ✔ Surgery ✔ Depressed scars and wrinkles
At Revitalis Clinic, Dr. Geetanjali Shetty carefully evaluates each patient’s skin to determine the best approach for their scars. The procedure involves: ✅ Application of a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. ✅ A hypodermic needle is inserted beneath the scar and moved in a horizontal direction. ✅ This movement breaks fibrous bands and allows the skin to rise to the normal surface level. ✅ The process also stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture over time. ✅ Manual pressure or an ice pack is applied post-procedure to reduce swelling and bruising.
Unlike laser treatments and microneedling, which work by thinning the skin, subcision lifts the scarred areas to match the level of the surrounding skin. Studies suggest that subcision is one of the most effective methods for improving rolling and boxcar scars, with long-lasting results.
Dr. Geetanjali Shetty specializes in treating stubborn acne scars using state-of-the-art subcision techniques. Whether you have deep rolling scars or tethered boxcar scars, our clinic offers personalized solutions for visible and long-lasting skin improvement.
