Subcision treatment

Advanced Acne Scar Treatment for Smoother, Healthier Skin

Subcision is a minimally invasive dermatological procedure designed to treat depressed (atrophic) acne scars, rolling scars, and certain types of skin depressions. The treatment works by releasing the fibrous bands beneath the skin that pull the scar downward, allowing the skin to lift naturally while stimulating collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.

At Manali Hospital, our experienced dermatologists perform Subcision using advanced techniques under local anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort and safety. By breaking the scar tissue beneath the skin, the treatment encourages the body’s natural healing process, resulting in gradual improvement in skin texture and scar appearance.

Subcision is often combined with treatments such as Microneedling, PRP (Vampire Facial), Laser Resurfacing, Chemical Peels, Dermal Fillers, or RF Microneedling for enhanced results, depending on your skin condition and treatment goals.

How the Treatment Works

1. Skin Consultation

Our dermatologist examines your skin, evaluates the type and severity of your acne scars, and develops a personalized treatment plan.

2. Local Anesthesia

A local anesthetic is administered to ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible.

3. Subcision Procedure

A fine sterile needle or specialized cannula is carefully inserted beneath the skin to release the fibrous bands that tether the scar to deeper tissues.

4. Collagen Stimulation

As the skin heals, new collagen forms beneath the treated area, helping lift depressed scars and improve skin texture.

5. Recovery & Follow-up

Your dermatologist provides personalized aftercare instructions and recommends follow-up sessions or combination therapies if needed for optimal results.
