Cannula Subcision
What is Cannula Subcision?
Cannula subcision is a specialized procedure used to treat depressed acne scars, particularly rolling scars.
It works by releasing the fibrous bands underneath the skin that pull scars downward—allowing the skin to lift and regenerate with new collagen.
At Adraneda Aesthetics BGC & Cainta, we use blunt cannulas instead of sharp needles, allowing for:
✔ More controlled release of scar tissue
✔ Reduced trauma to surrounding structures
✔ Safer and more precise treatment
Not All Subcision is the Same
Subcision is a manual, technique-dependent procedure—which means results vary significantly depending on the doctor’s skill and approach.
👉 It’s not just about doing subcision—
👉 It’s about how it’s done.
Many treatments use a single, uniform technique. However, acne scars vary in depth, severity, and attachment, requiring a more strategic approach.
Our Advanced Technique: Customized Cannula Subcision
What makes our approach different is precision and customization.
We match the level of subcision to the type and severity of your scars, rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
🔬 Bi-Level / Double Subcision
For selected cases, we perform bi-level (double) subcision, which involves:
- Treating both superficial and deeper fibrotic attachments
- Achieving a more complete release of tethered scars
- Enhancing lifting and long-term improvement
👉 This is especially effective for moderate to severe rolling scars.
Why Subcision is Essential for Acne Scars
Rolling scars are caused by fibrous bands tethering the skin downward.
Without releasing these bands:
❌ Lasers alone may not fully improve the scar
❌ Skin may remain depressed despite resurfacing
👉 Subcision addresses the root cause, allowing other treatments to work more effectively.
Combining Subcision for Better Results
Cannula subcision is often combined with:
- Collagen-stimulating fillers (e.g., Radiesse)
- RF Microneedling or CO2 Laser
- PRP or skin boosters
👉 This combination provides:
✔ Lifting of scars
✔ Volume replacement
✔ Collagen stimulation
✔ Prevention of re-attachment
What to Expect After Treatment
- Mild swelling and bruising (common and temporary)
- Gradual improvement as collagen forms
- Better results with repeated sessions
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Most patients require 3–4 sessions, depending on scar severity.
👉 Progressive improvement is seen with each session. Best combined with Collagen-Stimulating Fillers for optimized results and less number of sessions.
