Subcision

Subcision

Subcision is a minimally invasive treatment designed to release tethered acne scars by breaking the fibrous bands beneath the skin. This process lifts depressed scars, smooths skin texture, and stimulates natural collagen production during healing, leading to long-term improvement in acne scarring and overall skin quality.
