Scar revision
How each advanced treatment works
Subcision, releasing scar tissue
- Best known for rolling scars
- Releases fibrous attachments
- Can be combined with PRP or regenerative therapies
- Bruising and swelling are expected in many cases
TCA CROSS, targeting deep scars
- Often considered for ice pick scars
- Targets the scar rather than the full face
- Improvement develops gradually
- Requires careful patient selection
Medical Microneedling, collagen induction
- May improve fine scarring and texture
- Can support pore and firmness concerns
- Often performed as a course
- May be combined with regenerative support
PRP, supporting natural healing
- Prepared from your own blood
- Supports tissue repair
- May support collagen production
- Very low allergy risk to the plasma itself
Polynucleotides, skin regeneration
- Supports hydration and elasticity
- May support tissue repair
- Encourages collagen activity
- Used as part of a comprehensive plan
Combination strategy
Treat structure, texture and healing together

Frequently asked questions
Questions patients often ask
No. Your programme may include one or several techniques depending on scar type, skin condition and goals.
Rolling scars are often held down by fibrous bands. Subcision is designed to release these attachments beneath the skin.
It allows a concentrated solution to be placed precisely inside selected narrow, deep scars to stimulate remodelling.
Yes, PRP may be used with microneedling or after selected scar procedures when appropriate.
Collagen develops gradually over weeks and months. Improvement may continue after the treatment course ends.
Downtime depends on the procedure. Redness, swelling, tenderness, peeling or bruising may occur, and your practitioner will explain what to expect.
