Subcision (Subcutaneous Incisionless Surgery) is a minimally invasive technique to break fibrous bands that tug the skin downward and create rolled or boxcar acne scars. A thin, specially designed needle releases the anchored scar free from under the skin so the surface of the skin can rise and become smoother over time — typically in combination with other procedures like MNRF, PRP, or dermal fillers for best result.
