Subcision In Toronto, On

Say goodbye to pitted acne scars and enjoy a smoother, healthier complexion!

Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat stubborn acne scars, especially pitted or ice-pick scars.

It involves using a small, blunt needle (cannula) to break up the tissue underneath the scar, allowing your skin to rise and smooth out the appearance of the scar. This treatment helps improve the texture and overall look of your skin.

Subcision can be done on its own or combined with a Restylane Skin Booster to enhance hydration and skin radiance.

POST-PROCEDURE

The post-procedure protocol after subcision for acne scars may vary depending on the specific instructions given by your dermatologist or healthcare provider. However, here are some general guidelines that are commonly followed:

Keep the area clean: It is important to keep the treated area clean to prevent infections. Gently wash the area with a mild cleanser and warm water. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the area vigorously.
Apply recommended creams or ointments: Your dermatologist may prescribe or recommend specific creams or ointments to apply to the treated area. Follow their instructions carefully and apply these products as directed.
Avoid excessive sun exposure: Protect the treated area from excessive sun exposure. Use sunscreen with a high SPF and wear protective clothing, such as hats and long sleeves, when going out in the sun.
Avoid picking or scratching: It is important to refrain from picking or scratching the treated area, as this can disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
Follow up with your healthcare provider: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider to monitor the progress of your healing and address any concerns or questions you may have.

Remember to consult your dermatologist or healthcare provider for specific post-procedure instructions tailored to your individual needs. They will provide you with detailed guidance on how to care for your skin after subcision.
