If your scars are tethered, subcision should be helpful. A recent study demonstrated that adding PRP to subcision improves the effectiveness. The video demonstrates the blunt cannula technique.Jeff Rapaport MDRealself All-star
I would treat your scars with subcision and filler. Adding RFM might be beneficial as well. Multiple treatments are needed about 4-6 weeks apart. I do feel you should have fairly good success.
Subcision would likely be helpful for your scars. It’s not possible to say for sure from just a photograph. Punch grafts are more invasive and not the best treatment for most people. See an expert for in person evaluation. Also, I now perform most of my subcision treatments using a blunt needle rather than a sharp needle. Results are good while recovery is easier with lower risks.Regards,Dr. Ort
Yes, my preferred PRIMARY method in your case would be cannula subcision with HA buffer, secondary method is with RF microneedling. Saucer scars are notoriously difficult to treat as you would have dermal and subdermal fibrosis. 3-5 sessions then re-evaluate. Acne scar revision is a sub-specialised field. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type with ideal treatments and not just one device. For example deep ice pick scars, and narrow box car scars can be treated with TCA CROSS peels, mixed scars, rolling, and atrophic scars treated with fractional devices such as Fraxel, fractional lasers, PRP and INFINI radiofrequency. Atrophic scars (depressions) can be treated with either fat grafts, or dermal fillers. Tethered and anchored scars are best treated with surgical techniques such as subcision. Other surgical techniques that we use include punch elevation, surgical elevation, punch excision and traditional excision of focal scars. The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment METHOD will be best. Careful examination, especially under angled lighting with scar mapping will give you an understanding of what are the best options for your scars. In the majority of patients its finding the correct combination that give you best results, and everyone is unique! All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Acne scar dermatologist specialist.

Based on this photo you will need much more than 1 CO2 laser treatment. You will need long term monthly laser treatments, micro needling RF, submission and fillers. Fillers like Bellafill will take numerous treatments along with subcision. If you did a co2 you should have done a non ablative l...
Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and...
