This procedure aims to improve acne scars by breaking down the fibrotic bands that bind the acne scar to the underlying skin cells. Hence, scars that are depressive are lifted due to releasing action involved in the procedure. A more significant connective tissue formation is also seen as a part of the routine healing after the procedure.

Even though subcision is most effectively used as an acne scar treatment, it may also be used to correct the scarring after other conditions, including chicken pox and indented scars from previous surgeries.
