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.
