Subcision Acne Scar
Subcision is an effective acne scar treatment that utilizes a special needle, carefully inserted beneath the damaged skin to target and break apart the fibrous bands causing the scars.
This treatment greatly reduces the scar’s appearance by levelling the damaged area with the remaining skin’s surface. Visible results can be seen after the first session.
Subcision treatment is often used with Fractional Co2 Laser and Rejuran S to enhance the result. Subcision is very effective for treating the following scars:
Rolling Acne Scars
Chicken Pox Scars
Cellulite Scars & Wrinkles
The subcision procedure will cause some bruising that will fade after 1 week. During the healing process, your skin will increase collagen production, allowing the depressed area to plump up, improving acne scars.
Subcision – For deep acne scar
Does Subcision work?
Deep acne scars are usually caused by 2 main reasons, loss of collagen in the skin and the formation of fibrous bands that pull the skin surface downward, causing a depressed spot in the skin.
When a subcision procedure is performed, a special needle is used to break down the fibrous bands, allowing the depressed scars to resurface. During this process, the disrupted blood vessels will promote blood accumulation in the treated area.
This coagulation of blood will prevent any new attachments of fibrous bands to your scars, allowing smoother healing. Concurrently, new collagen will be produced and improve the appearance of the scars over time.
Other acne scar treatments, such as fractional CO2 laser and Rejuran S, can be combined to stimulate collagen production and improve results.
At Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic, our doctors are fully equipped and trained for acne scar procedures.

Is Subcision safe?
Subcision is one of the safest acne scar removal procedure available, as it has very minimal side effects and no risk of hyperpigmetations (PIH) compared to lasers. However, it is not the only acne scar solution. It is always important to first identify the type of acne scars before administering the treatment.
For patients suffering from active skin infections, keloids or excessive bleeding, subcision is not a recommended treatment option. It is the most effective for deep rolling scars and visible results can be seen from only the first session.
Generally, subcision only requires 2 t0 4 sessions (4 weeks apart) for a complete protocol. It has minimal complications and pain is tolerable

What are the types of Acne Scars?
SUBCISION IN DEPTH
Boxcar Acne Scar
Boxcar scars resemble a depression or crater in your skin that is circular or oval. They are often broader than ice pick scars but not as wide as rolling scars, and they have sharp vertical edges. Scars that are shallow may respond easily to therapy, while deeper scars may be more difficult to remove.
Subcision can help with Boxcar scars; however, it is not as effective as Fractional Co2 Laser or Rejuran S.
Recommended
 |
Boxcar Scar: Circular / Oval Shape
Treatment Option • Fractional Co2 Laser ($398 onwards)
|
Ice Pick Scar
Ice pick scars are a form of acne scar. Ice pick scars are more severe than boxcar, atrophic, or other forms of acne scars due to their depth and thin imprints. Because of the severity of the scar, they are extremely difficult to cure at home.
Subcision is not as effective for Ice Pick scars compared to TCA cross or Punch grafting.
Recommended
 |
Ice Pick Scar: Deep scars with thin imprint
Treatment Option • Punch Grafting |
Rolling Deep Scar
Rolling scars are pits or indentations in the skin with sloping sides. Each of these pits may be larger than 4–5 mm in diameter. They make the skin seem uneven and can be difficult to conceal.
Subcision is a very effective treatment to treat deep rolling scars.

Difference between Subcision & other acne scars treatment
Identify the scars
In order to decide the best treatment for acne scars, it is important to differentiate the types of scars. Simply put, acne scars are categorised into two types:
- Atrophic Scars (Due to lack of collagen): Rolling, Boxcar & Icepick scars
- Hypertrophic Scars (Net gain of Collagen): Keloids
Over 90% of acne scars are atrophic scars. It can appear flat or sunken on the skin, appearing like a hole on the skin. Fractional CO2 laser is a very effective treatment for all atrophic scars, however, treatments such as subcision will yield slightly better results for shallow rolling scars. It is important to let the doctor determine the type of scars in order to provide customized treatments.

Subcision Treatment
Before the commencement of any procedures, a full assessment between the medical doctor & patient will be conducted to correctly identify the scars and address the areas of concern.
There are different types of needles that can be used to administer. Most commonly, we use the 18G Nokor Needle, specifically designed to perform subcision procedures.
Our doctor will insert the needle via the skin surface into the scar tissue beneath, breaking the fibrous bands that is “pulling” your skin down, to allow your skin to resurface.
To prevent infection and promote scar healing, a topical antibiotic ointment will be applied. Swelling may occur after the treatment, lasting up to 5–10 days.
Additional treatments, such as Fillers, Rejuran, can be paired with the procedure to promote & stimulate collagen growth progressively. Lastly, Fractional Laser (Co2 Laser) may be introduced to further improve skin texture.
What acne scars treatment can combine with Subcision?
Subcision and Fractional CO2 Laser
Combining a fractional CO2 laser with subcision will stimulate collagen production and heal the acne scar faster. When the laser induces microscopic injury to irritate the skin, collagen production will begin, allowing the skin to start repairing itself.
Subcision and Rejuran S
Rejuran S is compatible with Subcision due to it’s ability to stimulate higher collagen production. The healing ability of Rejuran S can also act like a filler to fill the depressed scar and prevent new fibrous tissues from forming.
Subcision and Filler Acne Scar
Filler acts more like a temporary fix for upcoming events to hide the scar. Fillers will last 5–8 months to temporarily “fill” up the depressed area to improve the appearance of acne scars.
Subcision and RF Micro-needling
RF microneedling is a procedure where a microneedle is inserted into the dermis. The micro needle transmits a high-tensioned radio frequency (RF) pulse into the targeted tissue to stimulate elastin and collagen fibres.

FAQs about Subcision Singapore
According to new study, having subcision acne scar therapy while taking Accutane or Oratane is safe. This implies that patients do not need to wait the 6 to 12 month washout period before having scar revision surgery.
The earlier acne scars are treated, the better the eventual acne scar outcomes will be. Acne scar prevention produces the best outcomes because patients avoid the discomfort, expense, and downtime associated with acne scar revision.
In most cases, 2-4 subcision procedures spaced around 4 weeks apart to treat acne scars. The result is highly dependent on individuals, type of scar, depth of the scar, and skin type.
After the first session, you should experience positive effects. You may need a few more sessions to repair your acne scars, depending on the type of scar and how deep it is.
It is advised to combine your subcision treatment with other acne scars treatment such as
Fractional CO2 Laser (Collagen Production) – to heal acne scars faster
Fillers – Temporary fix for acne scars to “fill” up the depressed area. Results are not permanent.
