Subcision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure specifically designed to treat depressed or pitted acne scars - one of the most stubborn and emotionally distressing skin concerns faced by our clients. At Aurabella Aesthetics, our consultant plastic, cosmetic, laser, and hair transplant surgeon performs Subcision with precision and expertise, delivering visible improvements to acne-scarred skin. What is Subcision? Subcision is a specialised scar treatment procedure in which a fine needle or small surgical blade is inserted beneath the skin to cut the fibrous bands of scar tissue that tether the skin surface downward, creating the characteristic depressed or pitted appearance of acne scars. Once these fibrous attachments are released, the skin is free to rise to its natural level. The micro-trauma created by the procedure also stimulates the body's natural wound-healing response, promoting new collagen production that fills the scar from below. Subcision is particularly effective for treating: Rolling acne scars - broad, wave-like depressions with sloping edges. Boxcar acne scars - sharp-edged, rectangular depressions. Tethered depressed scars caused by deep fibrosis below the skin. What to Expect from the Subcision Procedure? The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure comfort. A specialised needle is inserted through a tiny entry point and moved in a fan-like motion to break up scar tissue beneath the skin. The session typically takes 20 to 45 minutes depending on the number of scars being treated. Mild swelling and bruising are expected for a few days post-procedure. Subcision is often combined with other scar treatments such as TCA Cross, microneedling, or laser therapy for enhanced results. At Aurabella Aesthetics, our skin specialist in Mira Road delivers Subcision with the highest clinical standards.

Frequently asked questions
Almost always. Subcision releases the downward pull, but combining it immediately with dermal fillers (to keep the scar elevated) or following it with fractional laser resurfacing (to smooth the surface texture) yields vastly superior results.
Patients typically experience localized swelling and noticeable bruising at the treatment sites that can last for 7 to 10 days. The area may feel tender, but most people can return to work within a day or two.
Yes, bruising is extremely common and actually beneficial. Cutting the fibrous bands severs small blood vessels; the resulting pool of blood (hematoma) underneath the scar acts as a natural filler, physically preventing the bands from immediately reattaching.
Subcision is highly specific and uniquely effective for treating broad, rolling acne scars and some deep boxcar scars that are bound down by underlying fibrotic tissue. It is not effective for narrow ice-pick scars.
Subcision is a minor surgical procedure where a specialized hypodermic needle (Nokor needle) is inserted beneath a depressed scar. The needle is moved back and forth to physically cut the fibrous bands that are pulling the skin down, allowing the scar to elevate.
