What this page covers
Subcision and dermaroller are clinical procedures designed to treat depressed acne scars, stretch marks, and skin texture irregularities by stimulating natural collagen remodeling.
At Dr. Divya's Skin Clinic, these procedures are performed under strict sterile conditions by a qualified dermatologist. We evaluate scar types (rolling, boxcar, ice pick) to recommend the most effective combinations.
Subcision is highly effective for rolling or tethered scars. It involves inserting a sterile needle beneath the skin to release the fibrous bands that pull the scar downward, allowing the skin to lift. Dermaroller uses micro-needles to create micro-channels in the skin, triggering collagen production and enhancing the absorption of skin-repairing serums.
Both treatments require professional execution to prevent infection, skin damage, or scarring. Results are progressive, with collagen synthesis building gradually over several months.
