Subcision is a minimally invasive, in-clinic treatment designed to significantly improve the appearance of depressed acne scars and cellulite. These types of scars form when fibrous bands under the skin pull the surface downward, creating pits or uneven texture. Subcision works by gently releasing these bands, allowing the skin to lift and remodel naturally while stimulating new collagen production for smoother, firmer skin over time. At Dr Sandy Medical Spa, all Subcision treatments are performed by our experienced medical doctors to ensure precision, safety, and exceptional results.
Unlike surface-level treatments, Subcision works below the skin’s surface where the problem begins. Using a fine, sterile cannula, the doctor carefully enters the treatment area beneath the scar to access the fibrous bands that tether the skin downward.
The cannula is gently moved to break apart these internal bands. Once released, the skin is no longer being pulled down, allowing the treated area to rise and appear smoother and more even.
Following Subcision, the body activates its natural healing process. Collagen production increases in the treated area, helping restore structure and firmness to the skin while continuing to improve scar depth and texture over time.
To ensure your comfort, a local anaesthetic is applied before treatment begins. At Dr Sandy Medical Spa, Subcision is performed exclusively by medical doctors using specialised cannula-blade technology for controlled, effective release of scar tissue.
Subcision is ideal for individuals with depressed or tethered acne scars such as rolling scars, as well as those seeking improvement in cellulite dimpling. It is suitable for most skin types and for scarring on the face, chest, and back. The best candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and are looking for a treatment that addresses the underlying cause of scarring rather than just the skin’s surface. During your consultation, our doctors will assess your skin and determine whether Subcision — or a combination approach — is the most effective treatment for you.
