Helloguys. 3.5 months ago i've had my first subcision on my boxscars. The doc did a peel, a mild laser, dermapen and subcision in one time. 18th of january i will go for a second subcision.
I see some positive results, but the thing is i can't be happy. Or i am afraid to be happy dunno. I have these thoughts that it is not permanent so i simply have to wait when they return. Or that i look in the wrong lightsand scarsare still hideous and the treatment didn't help. Because this treatment is really easy (included suction), i just cannot believe this is it. You guys know what i mean?
Don't know what i want with this story. Maybe some cheer up words?

They areby no means gone. They just look a lot smoother.
I think a 50% improvement?
You've seen about 50% improvement with the first round of treatments and have another session to go, I think you have a lot to look forward to! A 50% improvement it quite good and it'll only get better from here 
Of course under some lighting, scars appear worse, but just think of waking up in the morning and seeing your improved skin every day vs the few times you might get stuck in some bad lighting.

I find it difficult to give an improvement. My scars are smoother, but they still look red.
Anyway, i can look at my face without feeling totally miserable.
Thank you for your kind words 🙂

I loved the swelling period. (After the initial chipmunk cheeks, I felt more normal than ever)
Go enjoy yourself.
You mean, you looked better with the swelling ? What happened after it subsided ?

Could you elaborate? Maybe they re-tethered. Perhaps you need to do it like 3 times with 2-3 months in between.... It's hard to say what exactly happened to you though without additional information...

3 things could have happened :
-the doctor didn't cut them right
-they re-thetered (maybe you didn't use enough suction on them)? )
-your scars were not tethered in the first (what kind of scars do you have? )

At first, the swelling looked like a chipmunk, but once the chipmunk cheeks subsided, there was still some microswelling and I felt more normal than ever before. Of course now, 2 and half months later, all swelling is gone.

I started noticing that those scars eventually rose again... like 3+ months after the procedure. You'll notice that it looks more 'flat.'
It's a pretty long wait though, I'm doing my second one next week and I'll now this will be like an investment that might pay off like three months from now which is pretty depressing. Oh well! They say it can take up to two years to see the final results so we might not see the final result for a long time!

I'm hoping my scars rise too. They were flat but I see a bit of them appearing again. I am using a suction device every day. Unfortunately, I am smoking which will not help in the optimization of the subcision. However, I hope to have quit by the next time I get my following 4 subcisions. Should I be using a peptide now? My doctor did not mention it.
hi ponason and il90. I have moderate acne scarring, mostly boxcar and rolling scars, I'm 25 years old. I heard the 'popping sound' several times during the procedure. so I was quite happy then because mr.matt (who has achieved by far the best results I've seen) described a similiar experience. My skin was bruised afterwards and swollen. Due to the swelling my scars looked greatly improved overall. The suctioning helped keeping the scars levelled up, but only for a short period of time. After just one week, my scarring reappeared 
. I will definitely go for another round of subcision in the near future. But I don't expect any miracles, to be honest..

Yeah they will come back... then 2-3 months afterwards they start to rise again. This is normal. You'll have to wait a bit unfortunately, collagen takes time to build it won't happen in just a few days. I think most people see a difference 2+ months ahead. How long was it since you had the procedure?

Are you still suctioning now?
@il90: I'm 5 months-post, already. Quite a while, don't you think? The collagen thing - it's hard to believe in it if you're dealing with some sort of serious acne scarring (significant tissue loss). As is the case with most types of deeper rolling scars. There are so many reports here of subcision that hadn't worked out. Since my subcision failed, I can't overlook these posts anymore.

What about subcision and using a filler afterwards that would be slowly repalced by collagen ?
