Subcision

LIVELY CLINIC's subcision treatment shows remarkable results with just one session!

Subcision treatment is the fastest way to heal severe acne scars and craters.

Repeated acne can cause fibrosis, where the tissue hardens inside the skin, resulting in bumpy, cratered skin.
Subcision is a crater treatment that uses a special medical needle to sever the hardened tissue, improving the skin to become smooth and even.

With subcision, you can look forward to seeing a smooth, even skin surface in the mirror.

Recommended for people who

• Severe cratering on cheeks and temples
• Concerns about others' perceptions
• Unable to conceal skin irregularities even with makeup
• Persistent struggle with stubborn acne scars
• Desire to improve scars and chickenpox marks
• Previous attempts with Dermapen, Potenza, and fractional laser were ineffective
• Esthetic treatments and self-care did not improve acne scars
• Fear of painful treatments like subcision
• Concerns about high costs preventing treatment
• Wanting to improve skin indentations with minimal downtime

• 
• 

We will solve your concerns in the shortest time possible!

What is Subcision?

• 
• 
• 

• Skin tissue damaged by acne (scar tissue) adheres and is pulled downward, causing a depression.
• Using a medical needle (cannula), the adhesion is cut, releasing the downward pulling force.
• The depression is lifted, resulting in smoother skin.

Types of Scars Suitable for Subcision

• Rolling Type
  

  (gentle depressions)

• Ice Pick Type
  

  (deep into the dermis)

• Boxcar Type
  

  (flat-bottomed depressions)

Subcision is particularly effective for rolling acne scars with an opening of 4mm or larger that are saucer-shaped depressions.

This treatment is especially recommended for those who have not seen significant improvement with other methods.

Case(1 Subcision Treatment)

Combination of Subcision and Hyaluronic Acid Injection

By combining subcision with hyaluronic acid injections into the areas where the skin's adhesions (dermal layer) have been released, the depressions caused by acne can be lifted.

Hyaluronic acid, commonly used for treating wrinkles and nasolabial folds, can be injected under acne scars to prevent re-fibrosis and enhance the effects of subcision.

When hyaluronic acid injections and subcision are combined, the following benefits can be expected:

• Prevents re-adhesion of the treated areas.
• Lifts the depressions caused by acne.
• Stimulates collagen production.

• Treat deep acne scars and uneven pores for smooth skin!

  Although the injected hyaluronic acid will be absorbed by the body in about six months, your own tissue will regenerate and replace it, so the effect will not completely disappear after six months.

  In addition to subcision, we offer other treatments for acne scars such as microneedling (Dermapen) and oral medications to control acne. Our clinic will propose the best treatment plan based on the condition of your skin.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any risks, downtime, or side effects?

You may experience pain, swelling, bruising, redness, and pigmentation during anesthesia. Swelling typically subsides within a few days, and bruising, if it occurs, usually resolves within about a week. These symptoms are minor enough that wearing a mask will not interfere with your daily life.

Is subcision treatment painful?

Thanks to our advanced anesthesia techniques, you will hardly feel any pain during the procedure. Even those concerned about pain can visit our clinic with confidence.

Is there a recommended treatment interval, and how many sessions are needed to see results?

Higher effectiveness can be expected with repeated sessions. We recommend 3 to 6 treatments at intervals of about one month.

How soon can I receive treatments such as facial esthetics?

If you are considering treatments like facial esthetics after a subcision procedure, you can start them one month later.

When can I go out wearing makeup?

You might have some bruising, but you can usually go out wearing normal makeup the next day.

Can I exercise or play sports?

Intense exercise improves blood circulation, so please refrain from exercising on the day of the procedure.
