Punch Elevation
A procedure used for acne scar removal. It involves intricate removal of acne scars via a specialized surgical instrument. This method allows only the affected area to be removed, leaving all nearby healthy tissue alone. Healing time is minimal, and results are optimized.

Subcision
An effective procedure for treating atrophic, or depressed, scars, subcision works to free the scarred area from the underlying tissue. A skilled dermatologist inserts a small, specialized needle below the skin’s surface to raise the area back up to standard skin elevation. Little to no downtime is required post-op for most patients.
