Can I get subcision for acne scars if I have a history of hypertophic scarring?

Asked By:rumian27 in Los Angeles, CA

I was pondering about getting subcision for many months now to treat my acne scarring and have been doing some online research.But recently I stumbled upon a dermatological website which states that patients with a history hypertrophic or keloid scarring are not suitable for subcision since it is a contraindication. I have about 5 small hypertrophic acne scars on my face and was wondering whether I should go for subcision?
