Can subcision with fillers completely remove acne scars?

Doctor's Answer

Hi there! Don't worry, there are many proven ways to improve your acne scars and skin complexion!

Subcision with fillers like hyaluronic acid or PDRN (Rejuran) can certainly help to improve your acne scars dramatically with visible improvements every treatment session.

Usually at least 3-5 treatment sessions are required for good results, especially if you have deeper or wide area of scarring.

To get even better results for acne scar removal, I usually combine subcision + fillers with energy-based treatments like lasers (CO2 Fractional Laser/Pico Fractional Lasers) and radio-frequency microneedling (INFINI, Intracel) to enhance collagen stimulation and scar remodelling.

However, do note that not every type of acne scar will respond as well to subcision and filler. Rolling atrophic scars tend to respond well to subcision.

For other types of acne scars like ice pick acne scars, other treatments like TCA cross deep chemical peel might also be more suitable.

The key to good acne scar improvement is to use the appropriate treatment for each type of acne scar.
