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.

Acne scar procedures we perform

  • Subcision to release deep, tethered rolling acne scars
  • Dermaroller and microneedling for collagen induction and texture improvement
  • Combined protocols incorporating peeling or laser for mixed scar profiles
  • Detailed post-procedure care to promote healing and reduce downtime

Expected timeline and side effects

  • Downtime: 2 to 5 days of swelling, bruising, or mild redness is normal after subcision.
  • Dermaroller may cause mild redness and flaking lasting 24 to 48 hours.
  • Consistency: A series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typical.
  • Gradual Improvement: Visible scar remodeling begins around session 3 and continues for months.

I visited for a skin infection, and she was incredibly thorough in diagnosing and treating the issue. Thanks to her guidance, the infection cleared up completely. She's knowledgeable, approachable, and highly recommended.

She listened to my skin problems so patiently and her medication really worked for me within few days. Even reduced fees for me as a college student. I would suggest her all the time!

FAQs

Is subcision painful?

Subcision is performed after numbing the target area with a local anesthetic, which makes the procedure comfortable. You might feel a mild pulling sensation during the release of the scar bands. Mild soreness is normal for a few days after.

Can dermaroller treat all types of scars?

Dermaroller and microneedling are excellent for superficial boxcar scars and skin texture. However, deep ice-pick scars or tethered rolling scars typically require other procedures like subcision, TCA CROSS, or laser resurfacing for meaningful improvement.
