Unveiling the Depths: How Subcision Transforms Acne Scars from Within
An Inside-Out Approach to Radiant Skin in Orange County
Acne scars carry more than just texture—they hold memories of breakouts long past, reminders that often linger deeper than skin level. At Plump Medical Spa, we approach acne scarring not as a surface flaw, but as an opportunity to restore what was once interrupted: collagen, confidence, and connection to your most luminous self.
One of the most powerful yet underappreciated solutions? Subcision. This minor surgical procedure is redefining how we approach tethered, atrophic acne scars—especially when paired with regenerative innovations.
What Is Subcision?
Subcision is a precise, minimally invasive technique used to release fibrotic bands beneath the skin—those tough collagen anchors that tether acne scars down, causing pitting and uneven texture. Using a specialized needle, our expert providers gently break these adhesions, allowing the skin to elevate and begin healing more evenly.
Think of it as a liberation—from beneath the surface.
The Science of Scar Release
Many acne scars, particularly rolling or boxcar types, are not just superficial—they're structurally bound beneath the skin. Topicals and lasers can stimulate surface renewal, but subcision targets the root.
At Plump, we elevate the procedure by infusing regenerative boosters such as:
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Speeds healing and stimulates fresh collagen growth.
Exosomes: Deliver powerful growth factors and cytokines to further accelerate dermal remodeling.
Microneedling or CO2 Laser Post-Subcision: To refine texture and maximize resurfacing outcomes.
This multimodal strategy is what sets elite results apart from routine care.
What to Expect
Downtime: Minimal bruising or swelling lasting a few days.
Pain Level: Mild to moderate; local anesthetic is used for comfort.
Results: Noticeable improvements in texture and scar depth after just 1–3 sessions.
Most clients report not only smoother skin—but the kind of restored self-assurance that can’t be bottled.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
If you’ve struggled with deep, indented acne scars that resist improvement with creams or peels, you may be an excellent candidate for subcision. The procedure works best on:
Rolling scars
Boxcar scars
Scars with tethering or “pulling” appearance
