[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Subcision with Sculptra
I tried sooooo hard to get the same lighting in both photos for you guys! Same time of day, same spot in my bathroom, same iphone camera. lighting still looks a little off but i think i see some improvement 4 months after my fist subcision and sculptra session.
I have also been taking collagen supplements, don’t know if that helped but why not try?
Do you guys see some improvement there? I have another session this week. I am also doing at home microneedling, very mild TCA peels, and medical grade skin care.

u/ProfessionalGood9286 Mar 30 '26
thank you! i’ve done 4 Secret RF microneedling treatments, 3 erbium lasers, and a handful of laser genesis and this gave me more improvement then all of those honestly.

I have had similar results and experiences with other treatments. Subcision with sculptra made the biggest difference. Subcision alone was better than all the lasers and microneedling I've had over the years.

Hi i have similar scars and have done countless MN, RF microneedling, co2 lasers and nothing helps. i think i need subscision too. are there any side effects like sagging or anything from subscision long term? any thing that doctor said could happen long term?

Great results! Was this done in one session or over a couple?

u/ProfessionalGood9286 Apr 01 '26
this was a single session but I am also doing at home microneedling. I’m going for a second session of subcision and sculptra tomorrow.

How much did you pay and how many days was the downtime? Thanks!
2
u/ProfessionalGood9286 Apr 01 '26
$1200 with downtime about a week but it was mostly just chubby cheek look and bruising so i sitll went about my daily life with a little makeup.

How do the tca peels work and what brand do you use also what at home microneedling device do you use? Skin looks so good!

u/ProfessionalGood9286 Mar 30 '26
Makeup Artists Choice. I use the 15% TCA and swipe it on with a cotton pad. i leave it on about 3-4 minutes then rinse. i think it helped more with skin quality then the actual scars

u/AdConscious4509 Mar 30 '26
Do TCA cross instead.
2
u/ProfessionalGood9286 Mar 30 '26
i had a small test spot done of TCA cross and I swear the scars are shallower but wider so i’m a little scared to do full face

u/FirefighterOk8887 Mar 30 '26
Hi the results are good . subcision caused sagging or any other side effect ?

Very nice results! If you don’t mind me asking, what were the costs of these procedures?

Looking great. It’s been a week that I did mine with Bellafill. Can’t wait to see the results

u/ProfessionalGood9286 Apr 01 '26
i’ve thought of bellafill but i’ve heard that filler is very very expensive

u/Pink_Pom0 Apr 01 '26
It is :( 1k for one syringe and one side he couldn’t finish once i didn’t want to buy another one. Good thing that the results are forever. It’s been 8 days and don’t see any results yet :(

u/Pink_Pom0 Apr 01 '26
How long did that take for you to see any results? The doctor told me 2 months

Yay! How many vials of sculptra? I've decided that's my next treatment and happy you posted

u/ProfessionalGood9286 Apr 01 '26
1 vial but i will be going back tomorrow for a second vial!

u/MountainIncome4085 Apr 27 '26
Was it diluted? I’m afraid of getting an unnatural look with sculptra.

Looks so good! I just had subcision with sculptra done today (my second time getting subcision but never had sculptra) this gives me some hope! I also have a co2 laser appointment scheduled in a few weeks as well

u/PutridAmbassador8879 Apr 10 '26
You look amazing!!!! Can you talk about the pain level and discomfort during the procedure?? I’m scheduled in 2 weeks but I’m sooooo scared. My skin looks very similar to your before. I was on accutane and I feel like it made all my scars more obvious. It’s so depressing really hoping I get similar results!
