anwarguy, Chicago Mar 20th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: actually works Cons: bloody Bottom Line: I went ahead and purchased 100 nokor needles and have been doing my own subcision. This is serious stuff. Dificult positions and bloody etc. I can tell it works but I think best left to a surgeon. Recommended: Yes Usage: anwarguy has used this item for about a month.

K.G, Tampa, Fl Jan 20th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Surgiwire and Wire Scalpel are two products used to perform subcision. Cons: from what I've read, complications can range from hypo/hyperpigmentation, scaring (reduced with new procedures) and bruising that can range from 1-4 weeks. Keep in mind everyone reacts differently. Bottom Line: I've had a hard time finding Doctors that perform said procedure. ASK QUESTIONS! Make sure your physician is qualified and experienced. Also...I would avoid fat transfers. There isn't any controlling how much fat takes..or where. I had fat transfer done years ago...and the dr. truely made things worse. Although, it's not noticeable to anyone but me...it's bothersome. Fat CANNOT be removed for fear of causing facial paralysis. Just factors to keep in mind. Subcision appears to work on rolling scars and deep wrinkles. Google the brands given above, and they'll show you how operation is performed. Possible to use fillers after tx. To avoid the flesh to reattach with depression. Fillers absorb over time. The Dr. I found, performs the procedure at $700 base, and $100 per extra area performed. I will have more information once I see the physician that performs the operation. That's in about 4 days. Good Luck Recommended: Yes Usage: K.G has used this item for an inconsistent period of time.

Ken, Bangkok Jan 11th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Effective for boxscar Cons: Open-wound for a few days but fade quickly Bottom Line: It doesn't hurt although it left some mark for a few days.

Anonymous, Seattle Dec 18th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Improves shallow, rolling scars a lot, esp paired with a laser treatment soon after. Cons: The marks left from it take a while to fade (at least on asian skin). They look like acne in the beginning and then take as long as acne to fade. (hyperpigmentation) Bottom Line: Overall, a good treatment. Just expect to look like you have acne again for a while afterwards. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 350.00 Was this comment helpful?

spotty, uk Nov 3rd, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: regain confidence Cons: none Bottom Line: I have been performing subcision myself to 2 depressed rolling scars on my forehead and nose. I have done the procedure about 4 times now, and each time there has been an improvement..to the extent that the one on my nose is not now noiticeable with makeup. It was a case of trial and error, I dont think I was doing it right the first couple of times, as I didnt hear the'clicking' sound that you are supposed to hear. I would recommend this procedure absolutely. Recommended: Yes Usage: spotty has used this item for a few months. Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

John, CT Sep 14th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: No downtime. Heals quickly Cons: I noticed a very slight improvement after 3 treatments Bottom Line: Everyones skin accepts treatments differently. What works well for some may not work for others. Hard to find a good Doc in CT willing to even attempt to help, especially scaring on the back! Usage: John has used this item for a few months.

truong, san jose ca Aug 3rd, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: actually work for some of my ice pick, but not really Cons: made most of the scars on my face a lot worst, i cant even stand to look at people in the face any more, cause my nose got soo mess up people start looking at me all weird, made my scars a lot worst. Bottom Line: bottom line is that it is too risky to take a chance to either make your scars a little better or a lot wrost Recommended: No Usage: truong has used this item for about a month.

Anonymous, Austin, TX Jun 27th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: My indented scar is flat again Cons: Bruising Bottom Line: I had this performed three days ago, and although I've heard you often need multiple treatments I am THRILLED with what I see now! I had one indented scar on my chin, it looked like a dimple - fairly shallow and I could cover it with make-up, but enough to really bother me. The area is still bruised, but the scar is completely flat now, with no indenting at all. This might be the swelling that comes along with the treatment, but after all it's been 3 days! I am SO glad I did this - I went to another derm who tried to sign me up for VBeam and Restylane, which total would have been about $1000. This is much cheaper, and did EXACTLY what I wanted, which was to heal a scar that had healed improperly in the first place. So I say try subcision! If it doesn't work out for you, you can always go back for pricier treatments. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 150.00 Was this comment helpful?

Anwar, chicago Dec 25th, 2006 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: cheap and affective Cons: takes time and bruising Bottom Line: I have been doing subcision on myself for a few months. It actually doesnt really hurt as the scar tissue has no nerves. One neednt go so deep either. This and rose hip seed oil. DMSO for the bruising and weekly saline injections. There has been a 50% improvement and it seems to get better on its own. People have commented on the improvement. Rose hip seed oil gives a nice tan like cover which is more natural than the sunless tanning I have used. I grind down a X-acto blade to 1/8" and use a fresh one each time. Recommended: Yes Usage: Anwar has used this item for a few months. Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
