BACKGROUND Subcision is a procedure that has been reported to be beneficial in treatment of acne scars. OBJECTIVE This stady aims to assess the efficacy of subcision in the treatment of rolling acne scars and evaluate a novel subdermal filler 'absorbable plain catgut suture' with subcision. METHODS Twenty-two patients with rolling acne scars underwent subcision, 20 of whom completed treatme...

Subcision: It is an effective treatment for rolling scars. In this technique, the bleeding and subsequent clot formation result in elevation of the skin from the underlying scar tissue, which induces neocollagenesis. Its combination with other modalities is more effective than subcision alone. Subcision by loosening deep fibrous attachments can make acne scars more amenable to other treatment m...

BACKGROUND Among therapeutic modalities of acne scars, subcision is a simple, safe procedure with a different and basic mechanism for correcting atrophic and depressed scars. Subcision releases scar surfaces from underlying attachments and induces connective tissue formation beneath the scar directly, without injury to the skin surface. Therefore, subcision is a valuable method, but due to high...

Background: Treatment of acne scars is a therapeutic challenge that may require multiple modalities. Subcision is a procedure that has been reported to be beneficial in the treatment of acne scars. Although subcision is a valuable method, its efficacy is mild to moderate due to the high recurrence rate. This study aimed to evaluate the novel complementary treatment of repeated suction sessions ...

BACKGROUND Acne scarring is common but surprisingly difficult to treat. Newer techniques and modifications to older ones may make this refractory problem more manageable. The 100% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) chemical reconstruction of skin scars (CROSS) method is a safe and effective single modality for the treatment of atrophic acne scars, whereas subcision appears to be a safe technique that p...

Background and aim: Subcision is a procedure that has been reported to be beneficial in treatment of acne scars. The objective of this trial was to assess the efficacy of subcision in the treatment of rolling acne scars and evaluate a novel subdermal filler" absorbable plain catgut suture" with subcision. Materials and methods: 22 patients with rolling acne scars underwent subcision, 20 of whom...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Most people who experience the acne suffer from damage under the surface of their skin which causes saucer-like depressions or pits on their skin. Sometimes the skin loses its underlying support and develops fibrous bands of tissue between the skin and subcutaneous layer, which pull on the epidermis and cause a wavy texture called as rolling scar. Treatment of acne sca...

Deepening of the nasolabial crease is an esthetically unpleasing aging phenomenon occurring in the midface. Various treatment modalities have been introduced to improve the appearance of prominent nasolabial folds, all of which have pros and cons. Currently, a minimally invasive technique using synthetic dermal fillers is most commonly used. A simple and easy subcision procedure using a wire sc...

Subcision is a surgical technique used mostly to manage depressed scars. Over time, many modifications to this surgical technique have been made by various surgeons in order to make it simpler and more effective. We report here a new technique that aims to combine the privilege of the prevention of penetrating the skin beyond the scar and maintaining a horizontal orientation, while taking the a...

Surgical treatment with subcision is a standard therapy for acne scars. Other resurfacing procedures, including suctioning microdermabrasion, also offer clinical improvement. This randomized, split-faced study sought to compare the effectiveness of alone rolling Patients were randomized receive on one side face, and suction using microdermabrasion device opposite side. Suction continued daily, ...
