Advanced structural realignment for deep, tethered acne scars. Precision subcision and punch grafting for permanent textural restoration.
Deep acne scars, especially the "rolling" and "ice-pick" varieties, often involve tethered fibrous bands that pull the skin downward. These cannot be fully corrected by surface lasers alone. At DermaTales, we specialize in surgical subcision and textural revision to release these bands and lift the skin permanently.
Our surgical protocols focus on structural realignment, often combining subcision with PRP or dermal fillers to ensure the lifted skin stays elevated and builds new collagen.
The primary technique used is Subcision, where a specialised needle is inserted under the scar to break the fibrous bands that tether the skin to the deeper tissue. For deep "craters," we use Punch Grafting or Excision to replace the scarred tissue with healthy skin. These procedures reach depths that lasers cannot, providing the most dramatic improvement for severe scarring.
