| 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. |

| 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. |

| Pros | very cheap cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | painfull risk of infection so take keflex or other antibiotic for staf ect |
| Bottom line | start with piston motion n go to sweaping motion when resistens lessons. dont go to wide or donut/pin coushon could form. free neddles for junkies at chem/hospital in oz dont know about yours. clean area well first and wipe with swobs that come with needles. havent tried it myself but that is how it is done. im a seeing a derm/ps in 2 months keep u all posted. |

did it about 3 years ago, been pumping al lkinds of temp crap in my face radiesse,restalyn,artecoll, sub works maybe 10% each time, it will look good of course the first month but will settle after and you will barely notice the improvement , needs about 5 treatments to get it right , but honestly the only thing that really works these days is $5000 for a series of fraxel laser or medical grade silicone , those are permanent, save your money for the fraxel, 500 or so for silicone

Subcision does not hurt! But the pre numbing shots do hurt, so be prepared!
Immediatley I saw a slight differnece. I am in the process of healing so I had alot of dry blood spots and peeling. It dosent look great. Hopefully it all goes down. I will keep you posted.
I paid $800 for 1 treatment from a very well known derm.

Paid $1800 for N-Lite laser, subcisions for icepick scars and TCA peel on scars only. My skin is a little smoother from the N-lite laser, but the scars look the same. It's been atleast a month and i'm patiently waiting for a change, but so far i'm extremely disapointed and out A LARGE AMOUNT of $$$.

I've had acne scars (Depressed Fibrotic and Ice Pick) for over 10 years. I would say I am quite pleased with results of Subcision.
Around 2 years ago, I started undergoing scar treatment (4 sessions of subcision alternated with chemical peels). I find :atleast: 50-60% improvement on 90% of my scars.
You can expect some minor discomfort and reddening of the face for the first two days.
Do make sure that you hear ticking sounds when the doctor breaks the fibrous strands. Not much use poking around with the needle if he doesn't get it right.

Just had subcision yesterday. Had lots of acne scars and have been looking forward to this for a long time. Of course I look rather hideous now, with lots of bruising, red blood marks from the needles, swollen, etc. Hope it works, although I'm prepared for whatever the outcome will be. My face was already nice and clear except for the really deep acne scars, and I figured, what have I got to lose?
