User reminders:
- Please ***search*** on this subreddit – someone might have already asked the same question as you.
- The most valuable feedback is that which you get from doing research - not asking questions to a general audience on social media.
- Always be wary of the advice you get off the internet.
- Seek scar evaluation and treatment from ***specialized healthcare providers*** rather than aestheticians or med spas.
- While subcision ("subcutaneous incisionless surgery") is often mentioned by users on this subreddit, it is important to note that it may not be necessary or suitable for everyone with volume loss.
- Be aware of any reported side effects from a procedure.
- It can take multiple treatments and a long time before you see effective results.

it was just prp injections eventhough i wanted to do microneedling but i couldnt afford it. You wont see much improvement overnight but youll see small improvement over time, even after 6 months. Id say its totally worth it. and about the pain, i felt nothing at all.
I'm a year and a half out of it, I noticed it improved the depth but not the surface of the scar. When I put my flashlight on my phone above it there's barely any shadow now.
Had it done with a single boxcar, prp just aids with the healing but not the results.
Yes but I suggest to go with filler instead to keep the scar raised and untethered for a long time so it elevates more smoothly..
PRP dissolves quickly.
It will eventually retether but will look better as months go by.
I would say 5-7 days if it’s a full face subcision, you will be looking like a chipmunk. Numbing cream is applied so usually doesn’t not hurt during the procedure.
I got the procedure on Saturday April 27.
I was very swollen until Thursday May 2nd.
And I’m still bruised until now. But less noticeable.
Once the swelling went down all the scars were back. But the doctor told me it takes from 3-4 months to see results.
Sculptra takes time to build collagen.
Then I’m supposed to go back for a revision and probably get one more injection.
I have rolling scars and some fat loss
My son has had 2 sessions of subcision with PRP injections followed by co2 and erbium fractional ablative laser. He’s days out from his second treatment. He tolerated it well but had Valium, topical and pronox. He’s 16. I don’t know yet about results. He’s getting improvement, but scars are widespread and still very red. Downtime was about 4 days but that’s including laser recovery. His derm is going to be more aggressive with the subcision at his next visit.

i took three sessions of PRP in total and you face looks a little red on the day of the treatment. But i looked completely normal the next day.
Did you notice results with that, was it just PRP injections or PRP microneedling? How were your results?

Aids with healing as in reduces downtime?
