Subcision and Filling for Acne Scar

Subcision and filling are common dermatological procedures used to treat acne scars, particularly those that are deep or pitted, like "ice pick" scars. 

Subcision is a minor surgical procedure that works by separating the scar tissue from the healthier underlying skin. The idea is to break the fibrotic strands that pull the skin downwards, causing the visible indentation of the scar. Once these strands are cut, the skin can lift back up, reducing the depth of the scar. This procedure also stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that helps skin heal and rejuvenate. 

The filling process usually involves injecting a dermal filler into the scarred area. Fillers add volume to the skin, effectively raising the pitted or indented scars to the level of the surrounding skin, which helps to make the skin's surface look smoother. 

Charm Clinic also adds medication into the procedure to further stimulate collagen and elastin production and encourage the formation of new skin cells. This can enhance the overall results, helping to fill in the acne scars and create smoother, more youthful-looking skin. 

Please remember that while these techniques can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars, they might not completely remove them. Results can vary based on factors such as the severity and type of scarring, the specific techniques used, and individual healing responses. 

Also, these are medical procedures that should be performed by trained professionals and they come with potential risks and side effects. Therefore, it's important for anyone considering these treatments to discuss them thoroughly with their dermatologist or skincare professional to ensure they are a good candidate and understand what to expect. 

Charm Clinic offers subcision and filling procedures to treat deep acne scars. Subcision involves releasing scar tissue to lift the skin, while fillers add volume to smooth the surface. Additional medication promotes collagen and elastin production for enhanced results.
