How long after subcision should you wait before getting filler?

Question

Hello I was just wondering how long after punch excisions should you wait before getting subcision and filler to finish the job? Thanks

Treating acne scars entails a combination of excisions, punch grafting , subcisions and fillers with spot dermabrasions as well all at once.

Hi,  Thank you for your question.  Subcision and filler is usually performed at the same time.  We typically use Bellafill with a rigid cannula, to subcise and fill at the same time.  If scarring is severe can subcise with punch excisions 1-2 months prior to subcising again with filler.  You should get beautiful results from subcision and filler for acne scar.  Best of luck with your treatment and than you for your question.Regards,Dr. Matt Elias

In my practice, I perform the submission first but if you've had punch excision, you likely had very depressed scars which required tissue reduction first. In that case, I would recommend submission and filler at the same session in 4-6 weeks after the punch excision.
