Is there any side effect (long or short term) to subcision?

Subcision wil leave temporary bruising and can be Easley combined with long term filler -bellafil for a permanent improvement. After evaluation fractionated laser resurfacing can offer additional improvement.

Subcision helps "lift" the skin off a scarred tissue bed to reduce the severity of the depression. Depending on the technique used, there may be short term pain, bruising, or numbness to an area. Also, the insertion site of the needle or blade used to perform the subcision may create a scar in itself. Not all scars will resolve with subcision due to injury and thinning of the dermal layer. These scars may require subcision complemented with filler or fat grafting to improve their appearance and create a longer lasting result.
