Yes subcision as a procedure does give very good result in acne scars.
But it also depends on the type of scars you have like rolling scars/ ice pick scars.. Etc
It does not have very promising results in ice pick type of scars.
Next Steps
Also do it if you don't have active infection/ acne at present or taking oral retinoids.
Health Tips
It has a downtime of about 5-7 days. Donot go out in bright daylight without sunscreens.
