Can subcision alone improve an atrophic scar?

carl007
I have deep acne scarring on my cheeks. I'm just curious if subcision alone would raise an atrophic scar, or at least show a slight improvement. Isn't it that when you break the fibrous band it can stimulate collagen, so can i incorporate Suction Method instead of filler? Or it really need to have a filler to plump it up after subcision? Thank you very much!
