Creation of tiny micro-wounds spaced apart in the skin, the doctor is treating only a fraction of the skin’s surface, minimizing discomfort and healing time.
Punch Excision or Replacement Graft: Punch excision of an individual scar is a technique for ice pick scars.

Subcision: The technique where the surgical probe is used to lift the scar tissue away from unscarred skin, thus elevating a depressed scar. Generally, a filler substance can be placed to elevate the depressed scar after subcision.
Soft Tissue Fillers: This means when Collagen-related fillers are injected in small quantities below the surface of the skin to elevate depressed scars. This is often mixed with subcision which lifts the scar and allows a definite space for the filler to occur.
Chemical Peeling: Applying a chemical solution to the skin results in mild scarring and certain types of acne. Chemical peeling enables new, regenerated skin to reappear by improving the appearance of certain conditions.
