ACNE & ACNE SCAR TREATMENT
Subcision for Scar Release
Results are seen instantly and improve over weeks as there is a double effect from the procedure:
physical lifting up and out of the scar by breaking up the fibrous bands tethering the scar down under the skin, then stimulates collagen development that often follows from fibroblast stimulation in the dermis by the needle and controlled trauma of the procedure.

ACNE & ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS
Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers for acne scar treatment are injectable treatments designed to restore volume and smooth the skin's surface, reducing the appearance of indentations or depressions caused by acne scars. These fillers, often made of hyaluronic acid (like Juvederm or Restylane) or collagen-stimulating agents (such as Sculptra), work by replenishing lost tissue and stimulating natural collagen production.
The result is a smoother, more even skin texture with reduced visibility of scars. The treatment is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime, and provides temporary improvements that can last from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used. Dermal fillers offer a quick, non-surgical solution for enhancing the skin’s appearance and restoring confidence.
