Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Would I benefit from subcision?
Yes
Dec 21, 2022
It looks to me like you have rolling and boxcar scars caused by atrophy of the dermis. You would most definitely benefit from nokor needle subcision. I would have recommended subcision first in your case, before lasers/RF/chemical peels.
Can I expect my scars to continue to improve following subcision?
Yes
Dec 20, 2022
It takes months for the effects of Sculptra to show, so yes your scars may continue to improve as more collagen is formed in your skin.
Taylor liberator with biofiller or fat transfer for my case?
Taylor liberator yes, plus nokor needle
Dec 20, 2022
I think you would benefit greatly from taylor liberator subcision which is a fantastic way to improve deep bound down scars, but also nokor needle subcision to improve the scars that are mainly composed of dermal atrophy (the more superficial ~1mm or less in depth). I’ve found that nokor needle can almost erase the depressions from dermal atrophy, although it is very challenging to do for rolling scars because the skin is not evenly depressed. It works great however for scars with sharp…
Would subcision help with deep boxcar scars on my temple? 25 year old male with type III skin. (p
Yes
Dec 20, 2022
Based on your photos, I think nokor needle subcision is the perfect treatment for your scars. You may not need TCA cross. It’s a shame that many people treat these type of scars with lasers and microneedling first when they would benefit most from subcision.
Can subcision be done on the entire face? Hoping to treat rilling scars
Yes
Dec 20, 2022
Yes, subcision can be done on the entire face and is the most effective treatment for rolling scars. I’ve found nokor needle subcision to be superior to cannula based subcision techniques, and I think would work well in your case.
Would subcision + filler & TCA CROSS be a good treatment for my acne scars?
Yes deep subcision and TCA cross are probably your best bets
Dec 20, 2022
Based on the appearance of your scars on your photos, the two most effective treatments for you would be deep subcision and TCA cross. Deep subcision using the taylor liberator would improve the large depressed areas of your skin that look like they are scarred and bound down to the underlying facial fascia. TCA cross would be useful for the ice pick scars.
