Your blood consists of four main components: red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. During the treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a blood test, and spun in a centrifuge. This process separates the blood cells from the plasma and platelets. The platelet-rich plasma is then reinjected into the skin, promoting collagen production and the development of new skin cells.

Subcision is an acne scar treatment that focuses on depressed scars. It utilizes a specialized hypodermic needle to address the underlying cause of skin depression and minimize the appearance of scarring.
During the treatment, the needle is carefully moved back and forth to break down the scar tissues. This controlled trauma induces slight bleeding under the skin, which plays a beneficial role in the healing process. By cutting the connective tissue beneath the scar, the treatment helps release the downward tension on the skin, resulting in the correction of the depressed shape of the scar.
Treatment Time:
20-30 minutes
Results:
Bruises and swelling that will last for 3-4 days. Improvement of scars can be expected after 3-4 weeks.

This enables the nourishment of cells in the dermis and epidermis, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of scars.
Treatment Time:
20-30 minutes
Results:
Mild redness and swelling that will last for 2-3 days, followed by peeling 4-5 days post treatment.
