Subcision in Malaysia
Dr Chong Clinic offers subcision in Malaysia, a specialised, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat depressed acne scars by releasing tethered scar tissue beneath the skin.
This targeted technique not only improves scar depth and texture but also stimulates natural collagen production for smoother, more even skin over time.
Performed by LCP-certified aesthetic physicians with advanced scar management expertise, subcision at Dr Chong Clinic is a trusted solution for stubborn, deep-set scars that do not respond to topical treatments alone.
What Is Subcision?
Subcision is a minor surgical procedure that uses a fine, specially designed needle to break the fibrotic bands anchoring acne scars to deeper layers of the skin. By releasing these tethered scars, the skin surface is lifted and allowed to remodel naturally.
The controlled trauma caused by subcision triggers collagen regeneration, which continues to improve skin smoothness and texture over the following weeks.
At Dr Chong Clinic, subcision is often part of a personalised multi-modality scar treatment plan. It can be combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to boost healing and collagen stimulation, dermal fillers to support lifted skin, or laser treatments for enhanced texture refinement and overall rejuvenation.
Uses of Subcision

Subcision Process
How Does Subcision Work?
At Dr Chong Clinic, subcision begins with thorough cleansing and the application of a local anaesthetic to ensure patient comfort. Using a fine, specialised needle, our doctors carefully insert the instrument beneath the skin to cut the fibrotic strands pulling the scar downward.
As these bands are released, the skin naturally lifts, and the controlled injury stimulates new collagen formation in the treated area. What sets Dr Chong Clinic apart is our customised approach. Each treatment is tailored to the type, depth, and location of your scars.
We often combine subcision with PRP or collagen-stimulating serums to accelerate healing and enhance results. This precision technique ensures minimal downtime, faster recovery, and more significant long-term improvements in scar appearance.
How Much Does Subcision Cost?
The cost of subcision at Dr Chong Clinic depends on scar severity, size, treatment area, and whether it’s part of a combined package. Because it’s often paired with lasers, growth factors, or skin boosters for best results, pricing is tailored during consultation. A consultation will determine the most effective treatment plan and package based on your skin condition.
What Are the Side Effects of Subcision?
Subcision is a low-risk procedure, but some patients may experience:
- Mild swelling and bruising for 3 to 7 days
- Temporary redness at the treatment site
- Slight tenderness or soreness post-treatment
- Small risk of infection or pigmentation changes (rare with proper aftercare)
How Long Does It Take to See Results from Subcision?
Most patients see improvements within a few weeks as the skin heals and collagen rebuilds. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal scar reduction, depending on scar severity.
Soalan Lazim (FAQ)
How does subcision compare to laser scar treatments?
Subcision works beneath the skin to release deep, tethered scars by cutting fibrous bands, directly addressing the root cause of indentation. Lasers, on the other hand, work from the surface down to resurface skin, boost collagen, and refine texture.
What results can I expect after a subcision treatment?
You can expect shallower, smoother scars, improved skin texture, and a gradual boost in collagen production as the skin remodels itself. Most patients notice visible improvements within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over several months as new collagen forms.
Does subcision hurt?
A local anaesthetic is applied before treatment, so the procedure is generally comfortable. Patients might feel mild pressure or tugging beneath the skin, followed by slight tenderness or bruising for a few days, which resolves as the skin heals.
How long does a subcision session take?
Each session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of scars being treated. It’s a quick, outpatient procedure with minimal downtime, and most patients return to daily activities shortly after.
How many subcision sessions are needed for best results?
Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, for significant improvement. Severe or extensive scarring may need additional treatments, and combining subcision with PRP, fillers, or lasers can further enhance and accelerate results.
