The short answer

What is subcision, and is it right for you?

Subcision uses a needle or cannula under the skin to cut the fibrous bands that pull rolling scars down. Released scars lift, and the healing response adds collagen.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, acne scar packages start at ₩400,000; individual treatments are quoted at consultation.
