All treatmentsSubcision
A needle is inserted at the boundary between the dermis and subcutaneous fat to release the fibrous bands tethering the scar base, allowing new tissue to fill in and improve the scar.
About this treatment
Subcision releases the fibrous bands beneath a depressed scar that tether it down, addressing a root cause of the indentation. It is often combined with other scar treatments, and REDI diagnoses scar type to suggest a suitable combination.
Recommended for
For those bothered by tethered, depressed acne scars (rolling scars).
What it helps with
Releasing tethering bands helps reduce the pull on depressed scars.
Downtime
3–5 days (possible crusting/redness)
Duration
About 20 min
Frequently asked
Does it hurt?
We apply numbing cream or cooling when needed to keep discomfort low. Sensation varies by person, and we tune the area and intensity together during your consultation.
How do I know if this is right for me?
REDI is diagnosis-first. We review your skin condition, lifestyle, and goals, then suggest the most suitable approach rather than fitting you to one fixed answer. You can check freely in a no-cost consultation.
