In in my opinion, infini and subcision can be done the same day. We perform the subcision first and then inject with PRP. We then follow it up with infini and superficial PRP. If the tether is from the scars are not broken, infini will not be as effective. Find find an acne scar expert. Ask to see photos.

I'm not sure of the utility of subcision in your case. I would stop smoking period. Even smoking a little bit impairs healing and collagen production. Your results will be significantly impaired. I do think that Infini would be a good treatment for you. In the deeper rolling scars, fillers would be helpful, particularly Bellafill, if available in your country. PRP has proven to be of some benefit. Make sure it is high concentration PRP and it is injected as well as placed on as a mask.
