Subcision For Scars & Cellulite

General Information

How Does Subcision Work?

The procedure is performed under an aseptic technique.

The treatment area is first numbed using a topical anaesthetic cream and local anaesthesia injections.

A sharp Subcision instrument is then inserted under the skin to cut and break the fibres of the scar, or the cellulite dimple. Each scar/ dimple is treated separately unless they are located side by side.

The Subcision procedure releases the scar/cellulite dimple and stimulates the production of fresh collagen and elastin in the treated skin area.

Nano Fat Grafting

A small amount of fat can then be injected into the treated area once the Subcision is completed. This is done to help fill the tissue and lift the scar/ cellulite dimple further up. The natural stem cells found in the fat cells then help regenerate new dermal tissue in the treated area. The results are permanent (long-term) once the desired correction is achieved. However, more than one treatment session is needed for deeper scars/ cellulite dimples.

The procedure involves inserting a small, sharp, surgical instrument under the skin through a very small entry point (1-3mm) to break the fibrous attachments present underneath most dermal scars and cellulite dimples. Breaking these fibrous attachments prevents them from pulling the skin downwards.
