Subcision Treatment for Acne Scars

The Most Effective Technique for Deep, Tethered Acne Scars in Male Skin

Subcision is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to release deep, tethered acne scars — especially rolling and boxcar scars — that are resistant to lasers and microneedling. Because men’s skin is thicker and scars are usually deeper, subcision offers some of the strongest improvements by freeing scar tissue and stimulating collagen repair.

Treatment Process

  • Dermatologic Assessment
    Your specialist maps scar patterns and identifies which scars are “tethered” vs “superficial.”

  • Local Anesthesia
    Injected to ensure a comfortable experience.

  • Subcision Release
    A cannula or needle is inserted beneath the scar. The tethering bands are gently broken, allowing the skin to rise.

  • Optional Filler Support
    A small amount of filler may be injected to keep the scar elevated during healing.

    Swelling & mild bruising for 3–7 days

    Resume light activity same day
