"Some acne scars are not holes — they are healthy skin pulled down by scar bands beneath. Cut the anchor, and the skin floats back up."
Subcision in Bengaluru at Dermis 365 releases tethered acne scars from underneath. Rolling scars — those soft, wave-like depressions on the cheeks — usually form because fibrous bands anchor the skin down to deeper tissue. Surface treatments cannot fix an anchor problem. Instead, a fine needle passes beneath the scar and sweeps through those bands, releasing the skin. Freed from its tether, the depression lifts, and your body fills the space with fresh collagen.
Which scars does it suit? Rolling and tethered scars respond best — press the skin taut, and if the scar softens, it is likely tethered. Boxcar and ice-pick scars need different tools, which is why real scar treatment starts with classification, not enthusiasm. Therefore your Doctor at our Kanakapura Main Road clinic maps your scar types first, then combines subcision with microneedling or laser work in a sequenced plan that matches your actual scars.

Subcision frees the skin; microneedling then drives collagen into the released space across following sessions.
This sequence treats both the anchor and the surface — our most requested scar combination.
Rolling scars get subcision, boxcars get resurfacing, ice-picks get their own targeted approach — one mapped plan.
Because treating every scar the same way fails the scars that need something else.
Three facts that explain how it works — especially on Indian skin.
Deep acne inflammation leaves fibrous bands that lash the skin down to deeper tissue. The dip you see is healthy skin held under tension. No cream, and no surface laser, can cut an anchor.
The needle sweep does two jobs: it severs the bands, and the controlled micro-injury triggers collagen production in the freed space. Release now, natural filling over the following weeks.
Sweeping beneath the skin disturbs small vessels, so bruising follows almost every session. It fades within a week and signals the release actually happened. We schedule around your calendar accordingly.
Every plan begins with understanding your skin — not selling to it.

We track progress and adjust the plan honestly.
Individual responses vary. Here is a realistic guide.
Bruising and mild swelling peak early and fade within about a week. Some lift is visible immediately once swelling clears.
Released scars soften and level progressively as new collagen builds beneath them. Light catches the cheek more evenly.
Rolling scars typically improve substantially across a short course. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed — and mixed scar types need their companion treatments to finish the job.

It is a scar-release procedure where a fine needle passes beneath tethered acne scars and sweeps through the fibrous bands anchoring them down. Freed skin lifts, and new collagen fills the released space over the following weeks.
Rolling and tethered scars — the soft, wave-like depressions that flatten when you stretch the skin. Boxcar and ice-pick scars need different treatments, which is exactly why we classify your scars before recommending anything.
Numbing comes first, so sessions feel like pressure and movement rather than pain. Afterwards, expect tenderness and visible bruising for several days — normal, expected, and honestly disclosed before you book.
Usually two to three subcision sessions, four to six weeks apart, often sequenced with microneedling to rebuild collagen in the released scars. Your Doctor maps the full plan at consultation. Responses vary.
It can substantially soften and lift tethered scars, but complete erasure is not an honest promise from anyone. Improvement, not perfection, is the truthful goal — and combination plans push that improvement furthest.
Subcision releases the anchor; microneedling then builds collagen through the freed skin. Release plus rebuild outperforms either alone, which is why the combination is our standard for rolling scars. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
