The Benefits of Adding Hyaluronic Acid to Subcision Treatment

Acne scars are a concern for many people. Subcision treatment is known as one of the methods to improve these scars. I have introduced the overview about subcision treatment in the previous article. However, based on recent studies and achievements, adding hyaluronic acid to subcision treatment has been drawing attention for producing even more effective results.

1. What is Subcision Treatment?

Subcision treatment is one of the methods used to reduce the visibility of indented acne scars. In this procedure, fibers in the lower layer of the skin are severed to improve skin irregularities.

2. What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a component naturally found in our bodies and is known to aid in skin hydration and volumizing. In dermatological cosmetics, it’s used for improving wrinkles, indentations, or adding volume to the overall face through injections.

3. Combining Subcision with Hyaluronic Acid

There are several benefits to injecting hyaluronic acid after subcision treatment:

• Immediate Results: After severing the skin fibers with subcision, injecting hyaluronic acid can immediately correct skin irregularities.

• Improved Longevity: Hyaluronic acid remains in the skin for several months up to a year. During this time, the skin maintains its elevated state, promoting the generation of natural connective tissues.

• Safety: As hyaluronic acid is a bodily component, risks of allergies or side effects are low.

4. Treatment Procedure

1. Conduct subcision treatment to sever the fibers in the lower layer of the skin.
2. Inject hyaluronic acid into the severed area to correct the irregularities.

5. Conclusion

Subcision treatment is an effective method for acne scars. To further enhance its effect, it is recommended to add hyaluronic acid injections. This provides immediate results and also improves the longevity of the results. For those troubled by acne scars, considering this combined treatment might be worthwhile.
