What is subcision?
Subcision is a treatment method developed to treat pits and craters caused by acne scars.
When chronic inflammation from acne continues, fibrosis (tissue under the skin) becomes hard. By cutting and exfoliating the hardened tissue under the acne scarred skin with a needle, you can expect the effect of lifting the depressed area of the crater upwards.
Microneedling treatment is effective for shallow acne scars over a wide area, but deep acne craters may be difficult to improve. Subcision is especially suitable for deep acne scars with noticeable unevenness, and improves the appearance of smooth skin.


Subcision + Juvelook injection
What is "Juvelook injection"?
This is a recommended menu that combines Subcision and Juve Look.
Juvelook injection is a next-generation injection that uses a mixture of the ingredient "Poly-DL-lactic acid (PDLLA)" and a non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid preparation.
After injection, collagen production within the skin is promoted, which can be expected to improve skin issues such as firmness, pores, and fine wrinkles.
When used in combination with subcision and locally injected, it can be expected to be effective in preventing re-adhesion. Also, unlike hyaluronic acid, it increases the production of your own collagen, making it less likely to cause lumps and giving you a natural finish.
After injection, it decomposes into water and carbon dioxide within one to two years, so there is no need to worry about it remaining in the body, making it a drug that is attracting attention for its safety.
