Thanks for your response redouanemode!

Unfortunately I don't speak French so I had to rely on google translate

I've googled the doctor you recommended so I'll try to contact him....I hope he speaks English.

If anyone else is from Europe and has had excision/subcision done, your input would be greatly appreciated

alors .est ce que vous avez appele?

then.'s what you called?

I emailed the doctor but I'm still waiting for his reply.

Hi Freshman,

as far as subcision is concerned I can recommend you Prof Chu from first hand experience. I have had 2 subcisions done by him- the first one in 2011 and second in September this year. He has a lot of experience with the procedure. I had no negative effects like more scarring or permanent lumps. I remember developing a slightly raised lump under one subcised area, but it was more the result of still active acne than the procedure itself as back then i was not 100 % acne free and it got inflamed somehow. The lump resolved than by itself in a month and a half.

I have also heard that Dr. Tapan Patel performs subcision on a regular basis using a different technique than the Professor.

Thanks Anna Di!

I've read some good things about dr Chu. I will definitely look more into it.

How much improvement would you say you've had from 2 subcisions?

I had two areas subcised, approximately 1 cm in diameter. The skin did smooth out a little becoming more even. The problem is that my rolling scarring is not tethered down, but is the result of tissue loss.That is why the doctor didn't think it was necessary to do subcision at the next appointments and I only got dermaroller/-pen with TCA CROSS. So I cannot give you an objective opinion because I was not the perfect candidate for subcision. But from what I have read subcision gives really good improvement with tethered rolling scars. The word improvement being the key here, not scar eradication, unfortunately!

which has already been the scalpel excision for acne scars ?

normally after this technique we will barely visible fine line in place of the cicatrice.si it heals well as it should
