Rolling Acne Scars on Right Cheek, Would Subcision Work? (photo)

March 24, 2012

HI, I am in my 20's & only had a small bout with acne, for about three months. Although the acne has long cleared. I have been left with 2 rolling scars on my right cheek & 3 pitted scars on my Left cheek. I have had Total Fx on my left cheek for the pitted scars & saw only 30% improvement. I also received IPL treatments on my whole face & really saw a plumping of the skin which helped with the appearance. Will subcision work on the rolling scars? Will do TotalFx again for pitted scars. Thanks.
