Acne scars can diminish your confidence and are often resistant to surface treatments like creams, peels, or lasers. At Eterna MD in Lake Mary, near Orlando, Dr. Carlos Mercado offers NanoFat with Subcision, an advanced solution targeting the cause of scars and promoting regeneration.
This treatment combines two powerful techniques that work together to improve skin texture, stimulate natural healing, and reduce the appearance of acne scars — all performed with local anesthesia, not general anesthesia. If you’re seeking long-lasting improvement for acne scars in Orlando or Lake Mary, this approach offers natural results.
Why Acne Scars Form
Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the deeper layers of the skin. As the skin heals, fibrous bands form underneath the scar and pull the skin downward. This creates the depressed appearance commonly seen with:
- Rolling scars
- Boxcar scars
- Atrophic acne scars
- Ice pick scars
Effective treatment must address both the structural tethering and the skin’s regeneration process, making the subcision and NanoFat combination highly effective.
What Is Subcision for Acne Scars?
Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the fibrous bands responsible for depressed acne scars. During the treatment, Dr. Carlos Mercado carefully inserts a specialized needle or cannula beneath the skin to release these scar-tethering fibers. Once these bands are released, the skin can lift naturally, allowing the area to heal and rebuild collagen. Subcision is considered one of the most effective treatments for rolling acne scars and tethered scars.
Benefits of Subcision for Acne Scars
Subcision offers several important benefits for patients dealing with acne scars:
1. Releases tethered scar tissue
Subcision breaks the fibrous bands that pull scars downward, allowing the skin to rise and appear smoother.
2. Stimulates natural collagen production
The healing response triggered by the procedure helps the body produce new collagen, improving skin texture over time.
3. Improves rolling and depressed scars
Subcision is particularly effective for rolling scars and boxcar scars, which are often difficult to treat with surface procedures alone.
4. Minimally invasive treatment
The procedure is performed in-office with local anesthesia, without general anesthesia, making it a safe and convenient option.
5. Long-term improvement
By correcting the structural cause of the scar, subcision can provide long-lasting improvement.
What Is NanoFat?
NanoFat is an advanced regenerative treatment derived from the patient’s own fat. A small amount of fat is gently harvested from the body and processed into a very fine injectable solution rich in stem cells, growth factors, and regenerative cells. When injected into areas affected by acne scars, NanoFat works to repair, rejuvenate, and regenerate damaged skin. Because it comes from your own body, NanoFat is natural, biocompatible, and safe.
Benefits of NanoFat for Acne Scars
NanoFat offers several regenerative advantages for improving acne scars and skin quality:
1. Regenerates damaged skin
NanoFat contains stem cells and growth factors that support tissue repair and regeneration.
2. Improves skin texture and tone
Patients often notice smoother skin and improved overall skin quality.
3. Stimulates collagen and elastin
The regenerative components help boost collagen production, improving firmness and elasticity.
4. Natural treatment using your own tissue
Because NanoFat comes from your own fat, there is minimal risk of allergic reaction.
5. Enhances results after subcision
NanoFat helps fill and support the areas where scar bands were released, improving the final cosmetic outcome.
Why Combine NanoFat with Subcision?
When treating acne scars, it is important to address both the cause of the scar and the skin’s quality. Subcision releases the scar tissue that pulls the skin downward, while NanoFat enhances the healing process and regenerates the skin.
Together, these treatments can:
- Lift depressed acne scars.
- Improve skin texture
- Stimulate collagen production
- Promote natural skin regeneration.
- Deliver smoother and healthier-looking skin.
This combination treatment is among the most advanced acne scar treatments available in Orlando and Lake Mary.
