What is Subcision Treatment
Subcision is a treatment used to correct a type of scar called a valley scar. A valley scar simply means there is a defect in the volume of the skin at that site of the scar.
The goal of subsicion is to improve this decreased volume.
How does subsicion treatment work?
Subsicion works by using a small needle to stimulate the growth of collagen within the scar tissue which helps reinvigorate cellular turnover.
The needle is also used to break up the scar tissue that tethers the skin, thus relieving depression and allowing the scar to fade away.
How long does subsicion take to heal?
After subsicion, your scar will look better after the bruising resolves, but the process of re-collagenation takes 2-6 months. Your skin texture will slowly improve over 2-6 months.
