How strong are fiborous bands associated with acne scarring?

Question

Is it possible for suction to break fibrous bands associated with acne scarring? I've had subcision before and my skin looked brand new. The bands have now reattached after 6 months and it looks the same. How strong are the fibrous bands and are they easy to break?

Sagar Patel, MD · Answer

There are different types of acne scars each of which have different patterns of scar band formation and truthfully different strengths. The pucker can come back and sometimes some steroid can help during the course of healing to help avoid this. Subcision luckily isn't too invasive of a procedure and certainly needs to be repeated at 6 month intervals in combination with a resurfacing (microneedling or laser) to achieve the best results!

Answer- can be vvv strong. Done histology and video showing how strong they can be. Very unlikely to reattach in the SAME place in the absence of inflammation, however exceptions do occur. Photographic documentation will reveal. Subcision takes between 3-8 sessions over time in the absence of active inflammation. Wishing you well, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia .
