Is subcision effective for depressed nose scar?

Doctor's Answer

The nose is one of the most sensitive parts of your body. In view of the highly sebaceous nature of the nose, for depressed nose scar, in my experience, only fractional CO2 laser may give modest results after several treatments.

Much has been written about fractional CO2 lasering in the Acne Scar Treatment section which you can refer to for more details about how it is done. Apart from that, it also includes:

  • the usual treatment protocols,
  • post-laser care and
  • management.

Other usual acne scar treatment modalities such as subcision lend themselves poorly on the nose. Therefore, it is best that patients avoid subcision.
