I just got this done. The doctor cleansed my face first, followed with anaesthetic so I won't feel the pain. Just to be honest with anyone who is looking to have a subsicion done for deep acne scarring, it may be a bit brutal/uncomfortable if you're not used to having any minor surgeries done to your face. However the result is amazing. I already see a huge improvement in my skin this is better than skin needling. Going for a second treatment next month 😊 Very happy customer
@@leidifarias Downtime and recovery was very minimal. I went to work the next day. However, I've heard for some people maybe a week. It's different for everyone. The doctor who performed the subsicion for me injected my face 3 times on the left side and 3 on the right so you'll have a few red dots on your face for a few days but it didn't bother me much
@@jasonculili566 Pain level is low. Given the fact that they'll inject your face with anaesthetic first. It's just a bit uncomfortable, you can feel the needle moving around, in and out your face lol. But the results are amazing, well for me. My next appointment will be another subsicion + fillers. Fillers don't last forever but I've heard they can potentially cause a long term/permanent smoothing effect on your post acne scars
Does it matter which tool you use and which provider/doctor does the subcision? If so, which doctor in the US do you recommend-also you recommend any other surgical corrective treatment for severe/significant acne scars on cheeks/temples other than subscision?
@@ishveenaduggal9463 this is debatable amongst every clinician. I prefer the use of blunt cannula for subcision under ultrasound guidance. For deeper ice pick scars I sometimes recommend surgical reconstruction such as excision but this is dependent on patient assessment. When choosing a doctor they must be experienced in both surgical and non surgical techniques 🙏
@@AskRowy-v1j in the UK you must look for a doctor who is working in a clinic that is CQC approved and regulated this ensures that the treating clinicians have the adequate qualifications and experience for the procedures they perform 🙏
@@onedayapp3534 the main benefit is that the area is already anaesthetised and the ablative laser treatment will be relatively painless. It’s helpful to do at the same time as you can take advantage of enhanced wound healing with a combination treatment. I do like to perform hyperdilute radiesse after subcision it enhances collagen and elastin production and reduces the risk of recurrence post subcision.
@@Drsomjiskin I got dark purple marks after subcision. Do they fade?? My doctor didn’t mention that I will get purple mark after procedure. Is it common??
@@ritumaheshwari7585Have your purple marks been removed? Did you take any other treatment along with subcision? Please tell me, I also want to get subcision done.
@@ritika5831 no I still have and Dr asked me to apply tretinoin .. he did five scars with five needle inert .. not like the videos on RU-vid.. I think I choose a wrong Dr not a expert
This procedure does irreparable damage to the underlying face structure. I had this 1 time only by the "expert" Dr. Henningsen (Denmark) with an 18G cannula. My face is botched permanently. Never seen my face and smile again. Think VERY WISELY if youre willing to sacrifice your actual face for a bit improved skin. Cause if i could go back...I would in a heartbeat
@karolisurbonas3562 weird feeling when smiling (feels unnatural and heavy) and also my face shape (very bottom heavy.....face went from skinny oval to undefined/uncontoured pear shape) just changed to the point where it gave me self perception issues and aged me / made me a lot more unattractive. If you're decently attractive you only have to lose with this stupid invasive treatment.
This treatment needs to be stopped. It ruins young peoples faces. My face has never been the same again. Its so saggy and bottom heavy now (looking masculine and aged) and has a less defined jawline than before. Makes me sadder than the scars did...
This is more due to inappropriate patient selection and over aggressive subcision with sharper instruments. Blunt subcision is safe in the right hands 🙏
@@DrsomjiskinI had it done under a single scar in the area diagonally below the mouth that fat pad of the cheek that goes from nose to mouth and defines where your cheek meets mouth/chin. I still have swelling or weird looking after 4 months. This side of my face/cheek now looks different and has a fold coming out of the edge of my mouth whereas before it wasn’t, before I had a vertical bit of fat if that makes sense. Now it just seems like one blob
The scar itself looks better but the surrounding structure of the edge of mouth/cheek/chin area is different and somehow loose looking if that makes sense. Will it return to normal?
@@Drsomjiskin my surgeon is experienced and board certified so what are the chances he did that vs its just swelling? I asked him and he said there is no way he went that deep. The weird shape/structure I'm seeing could just be a result of the swelling which I hope it is but I'm not sure how the skin could regain its elasticity it looks loose and droopy if that makes sense whereas before it was a fatty area of the face if that makes sense
its hard to articulate because I never intensely studied that part of my face before as it was just symmetrical to the other side. But now if you compare it to the other side it looks way more droopy.
My face is like pierce by sting bee after subcision plus prp bio filler, I got my treatment last day oct. 12 2024 my face never go away my swelling on the 2nd day. It's normal? I'm worried of it might sagging face.
I did on a deep scar on my cheek. After like 10 days the lower half of the scar started protruding which somehow got injured the contents/blood spilled. After 3 months now the scar has filled up but the part which was injured/skin broken has left its own scar in the area and it's still red. Should I go for another session of subcisoon for the new but smaller scar? And it being still red after 3 months is ok? I have another scar on the ala of the nose can it be done on that area? And can it be done on the corner of the mouth?
I would go back to your doctor for inspection of the area. Generally subcision is not advised if an area is still has inflammation. All scars which are tethered are amenable to subcision
I got purple marks after Subcision, do they fade or not. What should I do to fade skin discoloration after subcision. My Doctor didn’t even mention that I will have marks after subcision .
Is it normal to have up to 6-12 sessions of subcision to treat acne scarring? Specifically that each session is combined with PRP and fractional laser. Would this amount of sessions damage or change the structure of my cheeks ?
I have an estitician who would like to do a subcision on cheek dents that I have. It is not acne related it is from me trying to put filler into my own cheeks causing fat loss and denting, very stupid I now know that. Anyway he is very experienced and would like to subside and use radius to fill. I am so nervous I'm just wondering if you think this is okay or is it a mistake
If someone doesn't perform ultrasound, is the risk still there even if done by a dermatologist? My dermat recommended me but I went through your video before saying yes to her, but still having doubts about it. they are suggesting subscision with prp. Should I get it done?? PS- thank you for replying me, I learn quite a lot from videos :)
@@prizzrak1404 up until 2 years ago I used to perform without ultrasound guidance and it was still safe. Combined with PRP enhances recovery so it’s a good combination 🙏
@@prizzrak1404 have you done your subcision treatment, how was your experience and result, which type of needle Dr. Used Taylor liberator or blunt cannula, did you found any kind of sagging or lump issue in your face pls reply
As you are not patient it’s difficult for me to give you advise. After 20days there is likely to still be some bruising. Please follow your aftercare from your doctor and go for a review to check on things 🙏
@@Drsomjiskinthe doctor advised me not to apply in the skin except sunscreen. I have no idea what to apply can you please recommend after care it will appreciate
Please book a review with your doctor. There are many reasons for this dependent on type of subcision performed and possible side effects related to the procedure.
@@sandeepjaiswal2179 sir is your problem solved now, and pls share your experience and result of this subcision treatment and which type of needle Dr used, pls let me know
It depends on the patient and severity most of the effects of subcision are permanent. In a large survey of acne scarring patients subcision was given a satisfaction rating of greater than 80% so it’s one of the better treatments 🙏
