Acne Scar Treatment – Subcission

Break Free from Stubborn Acne Scars

Subcision is a minor, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat depressed acne scars—such as rolling scars—by releasing the fibrous bands that pull the skin down. At Hebe Clinic, this proven technique helps to smooth uneven texture and stimulate natural collagen production, restoring a more even and confident complexion.

How does it work?

A fine needle is inserted beneath the scarred skin. The fibrotic strands tethering the skin down are gently broken. This releases the scar and allows the skin to rise. The natural healing process stimulates collagen, improving skin texture over time.

Who is it suitable for?

Subcission is ideal for patients with:

Rolling acne scars

Depressed or tethered scars from acne or trauma

Combination scarring that may also be treated with lasers, skin boosters and collagen stimulating fillers.

Key Benefits
