Used Subcision? Rate It:
Cons:
It hurt a little bit. I was mentally prepared, having read a lot about it and wanting the procedure done badly enough, but I could see a teenage-me having trouble with it.
Pros:
was cheap, but probably will cost more to fix
Cons:
caused atrophy to the area treated, and purple marks has been 4 months since my treatment
Pros:
my scars are practically gone.
Cons:
I paid $850 for the treatment. I believe this can be done a lot cheaper. Doctor said it would be about 4 days downtime. I believe you need at least 6-7 days.
Pros:
It definitely helped one scar a lot (so far--assuming it doesn't go down ;-). But the other scars have been more stubborn. But I am optimistic.
Cons:
Requires having it done more than once; Is expensive ($700 each time); So far (knock on wood), I don't think this has worsened any of my scars.
Pros:
Immediate improvement
Cons:
! week minimum downtime.
Pros:
made one of my rolling scars better, and made general area smoother
Cons:
next to my larger rolling scar i have a line-like depression that was not there before
Pros:
Works amazingly well on rolling and dented scars.
Cons:
Does not work on boxcar scars.
Pros:
healed fairly quickly, no downtime.
Cons:
some discomfort during the injections to numb your face before the procedure. Cost.
Pros:
Works very well on some scars. I got over 50% improvement for some of the scars. Can be combined with laser or filler for additional improvement. Works best on rolling scars that do not flatten when stretched.
I highly recommend this treatment if you have rolling scars.
Cons:
Long downtime (7-10 days)
Possible lumpy area at treatment spot (though rare)
Does not work on ice picks
Doctors tend to miss some scars so make sure you point them all out or mark them with a pen before
Pros:
Effective for boxscar
Cons:
Open-wound for a few days but fade quickly
Pros:
I had fantastic results from the subcision combined with the fraxel laser treatment.
