Many people who suffer, or have suffered from acne are left with acne scars which can cause the skin to look pitted and unhealthy. With the development of medical technology there are now treatments for removing acne scars by subcision which have proved to be extremely successful.

The sharp edges of the needle are then moved backwards and forwards under the scar to break down the fibrous tissue that is holding the blemished skin to the underlying tissue.

This procedure ultimately frees up the underlying tissue and allows the skin to become smooth again as the healing process takes place.

Carried out under a local anaesthetic this treatment is usually performed by a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon. After the procedure the skin will be slightly swollen and the healing process will take a few weeks before the skin returns to normal. This of course depends entirely upon the individual as some will heal faster than others. It should be borne in mind however, that it may be necessary to perform more than one treatment over a period of time in order to achieve the desired results.
