Scar Subcision for Acne Scars in Dubai

A Minor Surgical Solution to Release Deep, Tethered Scars

Introduction

Some acne scars—particularly rolling or depressed scars—form when fibrous bands of tissue pull the skin downward, creating uneven texture. At our Dubai clinic, scar subcision is an advanced dermatological procedure that releases these fibrous strands, allowing the skin to lift naturally and remodel. This treatment is often combined with fillers, PRP, or laser therapy for optimal results, giving patients smoother and more even-looking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How It Works

Scar subcision involves the use of a fine, specialized needle (called a Nokor needle or blunt cannula) inserted beneath the scarred area. The motion of the needle:

  • Breaks down the fibrous bands tethering the skin
  • Stimulates controlled wound healing and collagen production
  • Gradually lifts the depressed scar for a smoother surface

This controlled release allows the skin to regenerate naturally while boosting collagen formation for long-term improvement.

  • Consultation and scar assessment with a dermatologist
  • Cleansing of the treatment area and application of local anesthesia
  • Insertion of the needle under the skin to release scar tissue
  • Mild pressure or tugging sensation may be felt, but pain is minimal
  • Session duration: 30–60 minutes depending on the number of scars treated

For best outcomes, subcision is often performed in a series or combined with other scar treatments.
