Subcision for Acne Scars
Subcision is a specialized, minimally invasive treatment designed to improve the appearance of depressed or “rolling” acne scars. At SincerelySkin, our skilled providers use a fine needle to carefully break the fibrous bands beneath the skin that tether scars down, allowing the skin to lift and smooth naturally. This treatment stimulates collagen production and encourages long-term skin remodeling, helping you achieve a more even and refined complexion.
What makes it special?
- We combine subcision with PRP or filler for accelerated healing and volumization.
- It targets the root cause of deep rolling scars—unlike surface-only treatments.
- Often done in conjunction with microneedling for enhanced results.
Why it matters?
Subcision is one of the most effective treatments for deep, indented scars. It physically releases the tissue, allowing collagen to remodel naturally.
Who is it perfect for?
Clients with deep rolling or atrophic acne scars who haven’t seen results with topical treatments or microneedling alone.
Subcision is a minor surgical procedure that uses a needle to manually break fibrotic bands beneath the skin that tether down acne scars, helping to lift and smooth the surface.

We’re here to answer all your questions
Subcision is most effective for rolling scars and certain depressed (atrophic) scars tethered by fibrous bands. It may not be as effective for ice-pick scars, which often require other treatments.
Using a fine, sterile needle, our provider gently releases the fibrous bands under the scar. This allows the skin to rise, reducing the depth of the scar. The treatment also triggers collagen production, which helps improve skin texture over time.
