Subcision for Scars
Renew Your Skin with Advanced Subcision Techniques
At Eterna MD, we understand that scars, especially acne scars, can have a lasting emotional and physical impact. We're proud to introduce our advanced Subcision for treating acne scars and scar revision. Subcision is a minor surgical procedure that targets the underlying causes of scars, promoting skin rejuvenation and smoother, healthier skin.
Our Subcision treatments are designed to be customized to your unique needs, and we offer various options that combine Subcision with cutting-edge technologies. These treatments can break up fibrous tissue beneath the skin, stimulate collagen production, and encourage the body’s natural healing process, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion.
And the best part? Our Subcision treatments are performed without general anesthesia, offering a comfortable and safe experience with minimal downtime.
What is Subcision for Acne Scars?
Subcision is a specialized technique used to treat depressed scars by releasing the fibrotic strands that pulls down on the skin. A needle is gently inserted into underlying tissue, breaking up scar tissue and stimulating the production of new collagen. The result is smoother skin and a reduction in the appearance of scars over time.
This procedure is ideal for those struggling with acne scars, keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, surgical scars, and trauma scars and can be combined with other therapies to maximize results.
Customized Subcision Treatment Options
At Eterna MD, we offer a range of advanced treatment options to enhance the effectiveness of Subcision. These options suit your needs, skin type, and the severity of your scars. Below are the dermatologic surgery options we provide:
1. NanoFat Subcision
NanoFat Subcision is an innovative option that combines fat grafting with Subcision. In this procedure, a small amount of fat is harvested from your body, purified, and injected into the scarred areas. This not only helps to break up scar tissue but also promotes tissue regeneration with the use of natural fat, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.
- Benefits: Reduces deep scars and adds volume to depressed areas
- Ideal for: Severe acne scarring or scarring that requires volume restoration
2. Subcision + Sculptra
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable that helps restore volume and improve skin texture. Combining Subcision with Sculptra enhances the skin’s natural healing process by boosting collagen production, essential for long-term scar improvement.
- Benefits: Stimulates long-term collagen production, improving skin texture over time
- Ideal for: Clients seeking gradual, lasting improvement in scar appearance
3. Subcision + Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturizer and skin-plumping agent. When used with Subcision, Hyaluronic Acid injections can hydrate the skin, smooth scars, and fill in depressed acne scars. This treatment is particularly effective for pitted facial scar revision to correct lost volume and elasticity.
- Benefits: Instant hydration and volume, smoothens skin
- Ideal for: Mild to moderate acne scars or surface-level scarring
4. Subcision + Exosomes + PRP
For advanced skin rejuvenation, we offer a combination of Subcision with Exosomes and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Exosomes are cellular messengers that accelerate healing and tissue regeneration, while PRP uses your body’s growth factors to enhance collagen production and skin repair, supporting wound healing and replenishing shallow scars. Together, these treatments maximize the healing benefits of Subcision, promoting healthier, smoother skin faster.
- Benefits: Accelerates healing, promotes collagen production, and rejuvenates the skin
- Ideal for: Those with stubborn scars or individuals looking for rapid improvement
5. Subcision + DOT Laser
The DOT Laser (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) is a fractional laser treatment that works with Subcision to target deeper layers of skin, improving texture and tone. This combination therapy maximizes the effects of both treatments, improving overall skin quality while more effectively treating rolling scars.
- Benefits: Enhances skin texture and tone while improving scar appearance
- Ideal for: Deep acne scars or individuals looking for enhanced resurfacing
