Had silikon 1000 micro droplet injections three years ago.Happy with the results but looking to try subcision treatment(s) to help break up my atrophied rolling acne scars. Is this safe to do or will it disrupt the microdroplets? Any doctor with expertise on this but topic I would love your opinion.
