Taylor Liberator for Subcision

I would ask him again since it was years ago, as new research/techniques could change that suggestion. Since I’ve been on here, I’ve seen recommendations to do cannula instead for most people.

Taylor Liberator for Subcision

I agree ^ maybe it’s better for you to start off with cannula subcision and filler and go from there? just make sure you’re clear with the exact marks you want filled and ask if you could outline them...

They could go away on their own! If not, save up so she can get treatment if she wants to when she’s older as it can be costly. I can’t imagine any doctor would do a scar treatment on anyone under 14 ...

Any downsides to Subcision OR Infini RF needling?

I think they do subcision the same day because if there are still some tethers the energy can actually make it worse, so they subcise right before to make sure that doesn’t happen. But yes for regular...
