I was thinking about getting subcision for my acne scars in a combination od rf microneedling. Already done 2 skinpen sessions and using 0.05 tretinoin every day. Any kind of a advice to get rid of those stubborn scars is a welcome

Answer: For Acne Scars: Field Subcision Followed By Individual Subcisions (If Needed) & Professional Manual Microneedling Consider a "Field Subcision" to address the apparent widespread cheek atrophy due to the acne scarring. By lifting and smoothing the cheek in this fashion, the overlying scars will be immediately made more superfiical and will have much better light reflectivity and much less 'craters of the moon" shadowing. Once this is done, then individual subcisions can be performed, if still needed. Professionally performed manual microneedling (no need for the extra expense and extra risk of adverse reactions with added RF) can be performed to better blend the treated areas in both color and texture with the surrounding normal skin. Hope this helps and best of luck.
