Subcision for acne scars in Busan at Seomyeon One Clinic is designed for patients who want to improve depressed acne scars, rolling scars, tethered scars, uneven skin texture, pitted scars, shadowed indentations, collagen loss, enlarged-looking pores, and long-term acne scar damage through personalized scar-releasing and skin-remodeling care. Subcision is a technique used for selected acne scars where fibrous bands under the skin pull the surface downward, creating dents or rolling shadows that may not improve enough with surface treatments alone. At One Clinic, consultation begins with a detailed evaluation of your acne scar type, scar depth, skin thickness, active acne condition, pigmentation, redness, sensitivity, collagen loss, downtime preference, and treatment goals before recommending a customized plan. Depending on your condition, subcision care may be performed alone or combined with fractional laser, laser resurfacing, collagen-stimulating treatments, skin boosters, acne mark care, redness care, hydration therapy, barrier-repair care, IV therapy, or combination programs to help the skin look smoother, firmer, more even, and naturally refined. Conveniently located in central Seomyeon, Busan, One Clinic welcomes both local residents and international patients seeking professional subcision treatment and acne scar care in Korea.

What Is Subcision for Acne Scars?

Subcision is an acne scar treatment used for selected depressed or rolling scars. Some acne scars are pulled downward by tight fibrous bands beneath the skin. These bands can create dents, uneven texture, and shadowing that may make the skin look rough even under makeup or bright lighting.

Subcision helps release these tethered bands so the skin surface can look smoother over time as healing and collagen remodeling occur.

Who May Benefit from Subcision?

Subcision may be considered for patients with:

• Rolling acne scars
• Depressed acne scars
• Tethered scars
• Shadowed acne scar dents
• Uneven skin texture
• Pitted scars caused by collagen loss
• Scars that do not improve enough with surface care alone
• Acne scars that look worse under side lighting
• Long-term acne scar indentation

Subcision is not suitable for every scar type, so consultation is important before treatment.

Personalized Subcision Treatment at One Clinic

At One Clinic, subcision treatment is customized based on scar type, scar depth, skin thickness, and overall skin condition. If active acne is still present, acne control may be recommended first before scar-focused procedures. If scars are mixed, subcision may be combined with laser, collagen-stimulating treatments, skin boosters, or acne mark care.

The goal is to improve scar indentation gradually while supporting healthier skin healing and natural-looking texture improvement.

Treatment Options Combined with Subcision

Depending on your skin condition, One Clinic may recommend:

• Subcision for tethered rolling scars
• Fractional laser care for texture refinement
• Laser resurfacing for acne scar improvement
• Collagen-stimulating treatments for depressed scars
• Skin boosters for hydration and skin quality
• Acne mark care for redness and pigmentation
• Redness-calming care for post-acne erythema
• Hydration therapy for recovery support
• Barrier-repair care for sensitive skin
• IV therapy for wellness and healing support
• Combination programs for smoother skin texture

Combination treatment is often recommended because acne scars usually involve both deeper tethering and surface texture changes.

Subcision vs. Laser for Acne Scars

Subcision and laser treatment work differently. Subcision targets scars that are pulled down by fibrous bands under the skin, while laser treatments usually focus more on surface texture, collagen remodeling, pores, pigmentation, and redness. For many patients, the best acne scar improvement comes from combining deeper scar release with surface refinement.

A consultation helps determine whether your scars need subcision, laser care, collagen support, or a customized combination plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is subcision used for?

Subcision is used for selected depressed acne scars, especially rolling scars or tethered scars that are pulled downward by fibrous bands under the skin. These scars often create dents or shadows that may not improve enough with surface treatments alone. Subcision helps release the underlying tension so the skin can gradually look smoother as collagen remodeling occurs.

Is subcision better than laser for acne scars?

Subcision is not necessarily better than laser; it treats a different part of the scar problem. Subcision is helpful for tethered or depressed scars, while laser treatments can improve surface texture, pores, redness, pigmentation, and collagen remodeling. Many acne scar patients benefit from a combination of subcision and laser care for more complete improvement.

How many sessions of subcision are needed?

The number of sessions depends on scar depth, scar type, skin thickness, collagen loss, and desired improvement. Some patients may benefit from one session, while deeper or long-standing rolling scars often require multiple sessions combined with laser, skin boosters, or collagen-stimulating care. A personalized plan can be recommended after consultation.

Does subcision have downtime?

Yes, subcision may involve downtime. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, or sensitivity can occur after treatment. The degree of downtime depends on the treated area, scar severity, technique used, and individual healing response. International patients should plan treatment with enough recovery time before important events or travel photos.

Can subcision remove acne scars completely?

Subcision can help improve suitable acne scars, but complete removal may not be realistic for every patient. The goal is usually to make depressed scars shallower, smoother, and less visible. Since acne scars often involve multiple layers of damage, combination treatment and multiple sessions may be needed for stronger results.

Is subcision suitable for international visitors?

Yes. International visitors can receive subcision for acne scars at One Clinic in Seomyeon, Busan. However, because bruising, swelling, tenderness, or redness may occur, the treatment plan should be adjusted based on travel schedule, downtime preference, skin condition, and available recovery period.
