Subcision Treatment

Subcision Treatment in RT Nagar, Bengaluru

Advanced Acne Scar Treatment for Smooth, Even & Refined Skin

Deep acne scars can remain long after acne has healed, affecting skin texture and confidence. Creams, peels, and lasers alone often fail to improve depressed or tethered acne scars. In such cases, subcision treatment is one of the most effective dermatology procedures available.

At Desais Skin Clinic, RT Nagar, we offer advanced subcision treatment for acne scars, performed under expert supervision by Dr. Sanjay S Desai (MBBS, MD – Dermatology). With 17+ years of dermatology experience, we ensure safe, precise, and result-oriented scar correction tailored for Indian skin types.


What Is Subcision?

Subcision is a minor surgical dermatology procedure used to treat depressed acne scars such as rolling scars and certain box scars. These scars occur when fibrous bands pull the skin downward, creating dents.

During subcision:

  • A fine medical needle or cannula is inserted under the scar
  • Fibrous bands tethering the scar are released
  • The skin surface lifts naturally
  • New collagen formation is stimulated

This leads to smoother, more even skin texture over time.


Acne Scars Best Treated with Subcision

Subcision is most effective for:

✔ Rolling acne scars
✔ Depressed box scars
✔ Tethered scars
✔ Scars resistant to lasers or peels

It is usually combined with other treatments for optimal results.


How Subcision Works

  • Releases scar tissue beneath the skin
  • Improves blood flow to scarred areas
  • Stimulates natural collagen remodeling
  • Prevents scars from reattaching

Results improve gradually over weeks to months.


Subcision Procedure – Step by Step

1. Dermatologist Consultation

Scar type, depth, and skin condition are carefully evaluated.

2. Local Anesthesia

The area is numbed to ensure comfort during the procedure.

3. Subcision Technique

A sterile needle or cannula is used to release fibrous bands.

4. Post-Procedure Care

Pressure dressing, soothing creams, and aftercare instructions are provided.

The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes and is done on an outpatient basis.
