During a subcision procedure, the scars are marked, and
then numbed with local anesthesia. A special blade is used to
create a pocket beneath each scar that releases any tethering
and creates new scar tissue below the depressed scar. The
resultant action during the healing process is to elevate the
depressed scar. It is not uncommon to see a 30% or more improvement of each scar with a single subcision treatment.
Multiple treatments are typically required to achieve the dramatic outcome that patients thought they could never achieve.

At Suncoast Skin Solutions, we have found that sometimes
combining two modalities gets the patient further along than
one would anticipate: there is a synergy that is far greater
than the additive effects can explain. That is exactly the case
when subcision is coupled with the Fraxel laser. To schedule a consultation, contact Suncoast Skin Solutions.
