What is subcision?
One of the methods doctors use is Subcision Treatment In Dubai which remains one of the most effective skincare treatments for tethered, rolling, anchored and bound-down acne scars.
Those acne scars adhere to deeper structures such as the fat tissue and even the surface of muscles. However, this occurs when the inflammation caused by acne, is deep enough to involve both the skin and the structures underneath the skin.
Acne Scars
When the skin heals, massive uncontrolled production of collagen occurs in all layers of the skin down into the facial fat, causing the scar to depress. Hence, now we have a tethered or anchored acne scar.
In those types of acne scars, the tethering needs to be broken down. This is done horizontally with a sharp needle, and not vertically with a laser or a Dermapen.
What type of scars can be treated?
According to the Experts at Enfield Royal Clinic, Acne scars can be divided into different acne scar types including
- ice pick scars,
- boxcar scars,
- rolling scars,
- deep atrophic scars,
- hypertrophic scars,
- red scars,
- tethered scars, and
- anchored scars.
Tethered and anchored scars are pulled down by fibrotic bands that bind to underlying structures such as the fat tissue or the surface of a muscle.
Those acne scars can be identified by having the patient smiling and animating. Likewise, if the scar remains depressed while stretching out the skin, the scar is probably tethered and is likely to improve with subcision.
Are the results permanent?
Indeed! In cases when the acne scar is attached to underlying structures, rupturing the fibrotic bands will result in a prompt and durable improvement of the scar.
Assume there has also been a significant tissue loss in the acne scar. In that scenario, candidates ought to be aware that, due to the dermal filler’s deterioration over time, it might be required to repeat the injection into the scar after a few years.
Subcision, in the meantime, encourages the skin to produce new collagen fibres, which will eventually make up for the dermal filler’s slow breakdown. This procedure takes from months to years to complete.
How much will the scars improve after the treatment?
It all depends on the individual scar, the severity of the acne scar, the amount of fibrosis, the location of scar tissue, the thickness of the skin, and the patient.
Doctors have seen improvements of 90–98% in as many cases after just one treatment, especially in cases with shallow acne scars with little to no volume loss. Treatment for more severely tethered atrophic scars may be more difficult.
What precautions should be considered?
- Ensure to keep the skin clean with mild soap and water once daily. To avoid infection, please follow my instructions.
- To minimize any bleeding or bruising please avoid any intake of dietary supplements, including garlic, fish oil, vitamins, etc., in the weeks before your treatment since many dietary supplements increase the risk of bleeding.
- After the treatment bruising, swelling and discomfort can be relieved by applying something cold from the freezer wrapped in a towel for 10 minutes every hour on the first day. Pain is relieved by an additional supplement of painkillers over the counter in recommended dosages.
What are the Benefits?
The best thing about subcision is that you’ll see immediate improvement after the procedure. Any adherence which causes the scar to depress is simply broken down. To see the full effect of the treatment, the dermal filler should in many cases be injected beneath the scar after subcision to make sure that any volume loss is replaced and to avoid new adherences when the scar heals up after the procedure.
What is the Duration of the procedure?
The process usually takes no more than two to fifteen minutes. While larger atrophic scars with a lot of tethering and fibrotic bands require longer to repair, our professionals can treat a single little shallow scar in a matter of minutes.
How many treatments are Required?
This depends on the type and severity of the acne scar. Shallow tethered acne scars typically only need one treatment, while in severe cases 2-3 treatments might be required.
Is the treatment for all skin types?
Yes, subcision can be performed in all skin types including both fair skin types, and in people of different colour. With this procedure, there is no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
