Subcision
Release tethered acne scars from beneath the skin surface with specialized subcision treatments designed to restore smooth, even skin contours.
Description
Subcision at Reviv Wellness is a minor surgical procedure specifically designed to treat depressed acne scars, rolling scars, and deep wrinkles. Tethered scars occur when fibrous bands pull the upper layer of skin downward toward deeper tissue. During subcision, our expert practitioners use a specialized surgical needle to gently release these fibrous tethers, allowing the skin to lift naturally and stimulating new collagen formation for a smoother, more even complexion.

How the Treatment Works
Consultation & Scar Mapping
Our specialist evaluates your scar types and contours, marking the precise tethered areas requiring release.
Local Anesthesia
A local numbing agent is carefully administered to ensure the treatment area is completely comfortable and pain-free.
Fibrous Band Release
A specialized sterile needle or blade is inserted beneath the skin to delicately cut and release the fibrotic strands pulling the scar down.
Healing & Collagen Remodeling
The released depression heals as new collagen forms underneath, elevating the scar tissue to match the surrounding skin plane.
