This technique is using a small needle inserted through a puncture in the skin surface to release any tethering fibrous bands. The depressed acne scars are lifted by the releasing action of the procedure, as well as from connective tissue and collagen that form during the course of normal healing of a wound. A combination of subcision with Fraxel Laser treatment is recommended in order to achieve effective results.
