Break Free from Acne Scars — Try Subcision at Berkowits
A minimally invasive treatment designed to release deep, tethered scars beneath the skin's surface. By breaking fibrous bands that cause skin depressions, it helps restore a smoother, more even texture — making way for clearer, healthier-looking skin with renewed confidence.
Subcision Treatment for Acne & Depressed Scars
Subcision is a minor surgical procedure used to treat rolling or tethered scars by releasing the fibrous bands beneath the skin. It is especially effective for acne scars, boxcar scars, and other deep indentations that don't respond to surface-level treatments. This proven subcision scar treatment helps lift the skin, encouraging new collagen formation and natural healing. Often combined with microneedling or PRP, it's one of the best options for long-term face scar removal.
How it Works
Consultation & Marking
We examine your scars and mark areas for subcision based on depth and location.
Numbing the Area
A local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Subcision Procedure
A fine needle or cannula is inserted to break the fibrous bands tethering the skin down.
Collagen Response
The controlled injury triggers natural healing and collagen production to raise the depressed area.
Post-Treatment Cooling
Ice or topical ointments are applied to minimize swelling or bruising.
Aftercare & Follow-up
We provide aftercare instructions and may combine with PRP or lasers for enhanced results.
