WHAT IS SUBCISION FOR CELLULITE REDUCTION?
Subcision is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that reduces the appearance of cellulite dimples on the backs of the thighs and the buttocks. Unlike topical creams that don’t ever seem to work, subcision targets cellulite at its source. During this treatment, Dr. Berger and his skilled medical team create small, discrete incisions around the treatment area. Through these incisions, he can cut through the fibrous bands under the skin that contribute to the puckering or lumpy appearance of cellulite dimples and provide you with smoother and more even skin.
WHAT IS SUBCISION FOR ACNE SCARRING?
Subcision is an effective treatment for depressed acne scarring that leaves divots on the face. Like the dimples that appear on the legs and thighs from cellulite, dimples from acne scarring result from an excess of fibrous tissue pulling the skin’s surface. By releasing this tension with a simple subcision procedure, patients can enjoy their smooth, beautiful complexion for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions about Subcision
What exactly does Subcision do to treat cellulite?
Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the structural cause of cellulite by severing the fibrous bands (septa) beneath the skin that create dimples. By releasing these bands, the skin is freed from the tension that causes the uneven, dimpled appearance. This allows the skin to smooth out naturally over time. The procedure typically uses a specialized needle or cannula inserted through small incisions.
Can it treat cellulite on my thighs, buttocks, or abdomen?
Yes, Subcision is commonly used to treat cellulite on the thighs and buttocks, where cellulite most frequently appears. It can also be applied to the abdomen, although the effectiveness may vary depending on individual anatomy and skin elasticity. A consultation with a qualified provider can determine the suitability of Subcision for specific areas. The procedure is tailored to target the areas where fibrous bands are causing skin dimpling.
How long does the treatment take?
The duration of a Subcision procedure typically ranges from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number and size of areas being treated. Since it's performed under local anesthesia, patients can usually return home shortly after the procedure. While some swelling and bruising may occur, these side effects are generally mild and resolve within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two.
Will I be awake during the procedure?
Yes, Subcision is typically performed under local anesthesia, meaning you'll be awake, but the treatment area will be numbed to minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience mild pressure or tugging sensations during the procedure. General anesthesia is not required, which reduces risks and allows for a quicker recovery. Patients can usually walk out of the office shortly after the treatment.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements may be noticeable within a few days due to the release of tension in the skin. However, optimal results typically develop over 12 to 16 weeks as the skin heals and collagen production increases. This gradual improvement leads to a smoother skin appearance over time. Individual results may vary based on factors like skin type and the severity of cellulite.
How long do results last?
Results from Subcision can be long-lasting, with studies showing improvements persisting for at least two years in many patients. Depending on lifestyle factors and skin condition, some individuals may experience benefits lasting even longer. While the procedure addresses the structural causes of cellulite, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the results. Periodic follow-up treatments may be considered to maintain optimal skin appearance.
Will cellulite return in the same spots?
Subcision targets and releases the specific fibrous bands causing cellulite in treated areas, making recurrence in those spots less likely. However, new fibrous bands can form, or existing ones in untreated regions may become more prominent. Factors such as aging, hormonal changes, and lifestyle can influence the development of new cellulite. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and maintaining a healthy weight can help minimize the risk of recurrence.
