What is a Subcision?
Subcision is a minor in-office procedure that treats depressed (rolling) acne scars by releasing the fibrous bands that tether the scar down to the deeper tissue. A small needle or cannula is inserted under the scar to break those bands, allowing the skin to lift and smooth.
It takes 15 to 45 minutes under local anesthesia, with bruising for 1 to 2 weeks. Subcision is often combined with filler, microneedling, or RF microneedling for the best result, and a series may be needed.
It works best for rolling, tethered scars rather than narrow 'ice pick' scars, which respond better to TCA CROSS.
How much does a Subcision cost in Chicago?
Subcision in Chicago typically costs $300 to $800 per session, depending on the number of scars treated and whether it is combined with filler or microneedling.

Frequently asked questions
How much does subcision cost in Chicago?
Subcision in Chicago typically costs $300 to $800 per session. Cost rises if it is combined with filler or if many scars are treated. A series of sessions is often recommended.
What kind of acne scars does subcision treat?
Subcision is best for rolling, tethered scars — depressions caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin down. Narrow 'ice pick' scars respond better to TCA CROSS, and your provider may combine approaches.
How much downtime is there after subcision?
Expect bruising and swelling for 1 to 2 weeks, since the procedure deliberately breaks tissue under the scar. Most people return to normal activities right away but plan around the bruising.
How many subcision sessions will I need?
Many patients need a series of 2 to 3 sessions, often combined with microneedling or RF microneedling, for meaningful scar improvement. Your provider will tailor the plan to your scarring.
