Acne Scar Treatment Wakefield MA - Subcision Melrose MA

Depressed, rolling acne scars may change how makeup sits, how light hits your face, and how you feel when you look in the mirror.

If you’ve tried skincare products and resurfacing treatments and still notice indentations that don’t seem to improve, subcision may be a helpful option. At PBinJect Medical Spa, we offer this minimally invasive acne scar treatment to release the tethered scar tissue beneath the skin.

All services at PBinJect Medical Spa are guided by medically trained providers. Paige Balley, BSN, RN, and Kimberly Dias, NP-C, prioritize clear communication, gentle care, and a minimal, refined aesthetic approach.

About Subcision for Acne Scars

Subcision is a minimally invasive technique used to improve the appearance of depressed acne scars, especially rolling scars that are pulled downward by fibrotic bands under the skin.

At PBinJect Medical Spa, subcision is performed using a cannula, which is inserted beneath the surface of the skin to gently release the tight strands tethering the scar. Once those bands are freed, the skin can lift and smooth over time. Many patients notice that their skin texture appears more even as healing and collagen remodeling occur.

Subcision is not a treatment for active acne. It is specifically used for acne-related scarring that has already formed.

Benefits of Subcision for Rolling Acne Scars

Subcision can help improve the texture and depth of acne scars by addressing the structural issue beneath the skin. Potential benefits may include:

Smoother-looking skin texture
Improvement in shadows and unevenness caused by indentations
Gradual improvement as collagen remodeling continues

Results can vary based on scar depth, skin type, and whether subcision is combined with other supportive treatments.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Subcision may be a good option for adults who have depressed acne scars, especially scars that look like soft, shallow valleys or rolling indentations.

You may be a strong candidate if:

You have rolling acne scars that appear “tethered” or pulled downward
Your skin looks uneven due to depressed scarring
You want a minimally invasive option that targets the scar structure beneath the skin

During your visit, your provider will evaluate your scars and confirm whether subcision is the right fit for your goals.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your appointment begins with a consultation and scar evaluation. Your provider will review your concerns and determine whether your scarring pattern responds well to subcision.

Your visit may include:

A focused assessment of scar type and depth
A detailed walkthrough of the subcision process
Subcision with a cannula for qualifying scars
Aftercare instructions and guidance for healing
A follow-up plan to track progress and determine if additional sessions will be helpful

Because acne scars form differently for each patient, treatment plans may vary. Some individuals benefit from a series of treatments depending on the extent of scarring.

Recovery and Results

After subcision, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising. These effects typically improve over the following days.

Results develop gradually. As the skin heals and collagen is rebuilt, many patients notice continued improvement in scar texture over the next several weeks. Your provider will discuss what outcomes are realistic based on your specific scar pattern.
