FAQs
-
PRF is spun in a centrifuge at a lower speed, preserving white blood cells, stem cells, and a fibrin mesh that releases growth factors slowly over days (compared to Platelet-Rich Plasma’s (PRP) rapid release).
-
PRF excels in the under-eye/tear trough region (reducing dark circles and hollows), fine lines around the mouth, overall skin quality, and scalp hair revival.
-
Initial swelling gives temporary volume for a few days, but long-term tissue regeneration and skin tightening develop gradually over 1 to 3 months.
-
Because PRF uses 100% autologous biological material with zero synthetic additives, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or vascular complications.
-
Most patients achieve ideal results with a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by annual maintenance
Subcision
Say goodbye to stubborn boxcar scars and other acne scarring. Acne scars can leave your skin uneven and heavily textured, but there are highly effective solutions. Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure specifically designed to target indented scars—such as ice pick, boxcar, and rolling acne scars—to help you achieve a smoother, much more even complexion.
How Does Subcision Work? Subcision involves using a specialized needle to carefully break down the fibrous bands of scar tissue that attach the surface of your skin to deeper tissue layers. These tight fibrous bands pull the skin downward, creating the indented, pitted appearance. By safely releasing these tethered areas, subcision allows the skin to rise back up naturally, minimizing the scar's depth and significantly improving your overall skin texture.
What Are the Key Benefits of Subcision? Subcision is a safe and well-established procedure performed by our qualified professionals, offering several distinct advantages for scar revision:
Targeted Scar Relief: It is particularly effective for structurally treating stubborn boxcar, rolling, and ice pick acne scars that don't respond well to topical treatments alone.
Collagen Stimulation: The physical process of releasing the scar tissue actively stimulates your body's natural collagen production, further enhancing skin texture and promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance over time.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves minimal discomfort and very little downtime compared to more aggressive surgical options.
Long-Lasting Results: Because it physically severs the anchors causing the indentation, subcision offers profound, long-lasting improvements in the appearance of acne scars.
What Should You Expect During the Treatment Process? Our priority is your comfort and helping you achieve an even complexion. Here is a general overview of the process:
Consultation: We begin with a consultation with our skilled providers to discuss your specific concerns, assess your suitability for subcision, and explain the procedure in detail.
Preparation: The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed, and an anesthetic is applied to minimize any discomfort.
The Procedure: A specialized needle is precisely inserted just under the skin to release the fibrous bands tethering the individual scars.
What Should You Expect for Recovery and Cost?
Recovery: You may experience some temporary swelling, bruising, or redness immediately after the procedure, but these minor side effects typically resolve within just a few days, revealing a visibly smoother surface.
Cost: Treatments are $450 per session.
