- Dr. Ben transformed this patient's face, creating a permanent improvement by performing Subcision, and achieving temporary yet dramatic results from Filler injections. Patients suffering from severe acne scars have a variety of options, including TCA, Subcision, CO2 Laser, and Fillers.
Located in Santa Monica, CA, Dr. Ben Behnam's patients travel from around the country and the world to come receive acne scar treatment.
What is subcision for acne scars?
Subcision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed in the office of Dr. Behnam. It takes about 20 minutes and then the patients go home. To understand why subcision would work, we have to understand the anatomy of an acne scar. Rolling acne scars and boxcar acne scars are depressed scars, which means that the scars are below the surface of the skin. The reason why they are depressed is because there are fibrous bands underneath the skin that are pulling down the surface of the skin. The goal with subcision is to insert a needle through the surface of the skin and cut the fibrous scar tissue pulling down the surface skin. This allows the skin to be lifted since it is not bound down anymore.
A recent showed that using a handheld vacuum after the subcision procedure will yield much better results. In Dr. Behnam’s clinic, after every subcision procedure a handheld vacuum is given to the patient to take home.
What is subcision acne scar treatment?
Subcision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed where a needle is used to puncture through the surface of the skin and cut the fibrous scar tissue pulling down the surface skin. This allows the skin to be lifted since it is not bound down anymore.
Can I bruise after a subcision procedure?
Yes, it is possible to bruise after a subcision procedure.
How many subcision sessions do I need to see results?
Typically, several sessions of subcision are required to achieve satisfactory results. The results will be better if it is combined with other acne scar treatments, such as fractional CO2 laser resurfacing.
Can subcision be combined with other procedures, like CO2 laser resurfacing?
Yes. Dr. Behnam typically performs the procedure 2 weeks prior to the CO2 laser resurfacing.
Can I have subcision for rolling and boxcar scars?
Yes. it will work for rolling and boxcar scars. The goal of subcision is to remove the fibrous bands that are pulling down the skin and causing the depressed scars.
Can I have subcision for icepick scars?
No it will not work for icepick scars. TCA Cross technique is the gold standard treatment for icepick scars. In this technique, TCA 80% is applied sparingly in the icepick scar and let it frost. This will induce collagen production in the scar and lift it up.
What is a saline injection technique?
Saline injection is form of a subcision, where bacteriostatic saline in injected within the skin. The act of injection will stretch out the scar. When this process is performed multiple times, the act of stretching the scar will ultimately loosen up the scar underneath the skin, thus allowing the skin to raise.

The lighting in the first vs the 2 after photos is SO different and it MAKES a difference. Doctors like this are so insulting to patients, as if we're unaware of how different light conditions hit our own scars every day. There are some lighting angles where it looks like I have no scars at all and others where it looks like I have the worst scarring on the planet. And every room I go into, I know what lighting will make me look good or bad on a very specific scale. This is so negligent.
Yeah, they use lighting better than Hollywood. It is exactly what you said. It's insulting to the patient. I've seen photos online where they are actually photoshopped. After they steal your money, they proceed to use the image's of you to lure in patients. I've gotten better results at home with a derma pen and roller, then I've gotten spending thousands of dollars with these frauds.
@@43520tom where did you get your derma pen/roller from?
@@Faithycakess Basically just Google it. I got mine the pen from Amazon, and the 2mm titanium roller from a company in England. You can get both on Amazon.
Right on the point
@@43520tom Have you tried this subcision and filler? I have also spent thousands of dollars for many treatments :( just curious to try this one :(
I got rid of my scars, but it took years-over 8, actually. Not just lasers, but dermabrasion, a healthy diet, and acne meds. No quick fixes, just a lot of dedication.
Not sure why people are saying this isn’t a huge improvement. It is! Took a lot of work and $$$ but amazing results.
You're an idiot if you don't see the way lighting is used in the photos, at best this alters the scars into something different, in most cases not in a good way.
He looks just as sad in the after photo as he does in the before.. makes you think there was no improvement at all ... man I know that look so well.. I see it in the mirror everyday. Anyone reading this... you're not alone 💔🖤🖤
^ He shouldn't be so sad...he has beautiful eyes. Very attractive man.
Sad? are you stupid.
how to fix acne scars: take pictures with harsh light in the before and soft light in the after so it looks like it improved with no improvement. there you go.
I hate that they always have to use a different angle for the after picture. We want to see the before and the after pictures have the same angle, the same lighting so we can see the REAL RESULTS.
ikr!
because there is no cure for it. it's all scam
@@user-ne7uh7se8u subcisiom does work. Its not scam.
@@deadpool-wp1eq did you try it
@@user-ne7uh7se8uit literally has no cure. I have severe acne and had very severe laser done they didn’t budge. Acne scars are permanent no matter what. And he took pics of me probably edited them like here.
Are there after photos with the same angle and lighting as the before photos? It makes a hugh difference, I can do this at home and have a 50% improvement without any work. I'm sure subcison and fillers help but it's a little deceiving when the angles and lighting is different.
Right
Agree
The music is to distracting. It's should stop when you talking. Great video
I noticed when I read this comment :)
I underwent subcision in June 2023 in Iran. Today, in January 2024, I can note a difference. What they say is true - it does change, but it is not a magical transformation. I can estimate that my acne scars have improved between 30 to 40 percent. I also had some fat injections. So, I believe if I undergo subcision once again, it will likely improve further. However, I want to caution everyone against opting for laser CO2 and similar treatments, as they can darken your skin and take years to recover.
Is it cause sagging ?
The after pics were taking in a different angle and lighting , this patient acne scars most likely look pretty much the same as before pics .
This is a huge improvement. Ppl don’t realize the power if fillers . I was trying to see if his Dr uses renuva as I do t want any ha filler
Thank you
How are the results though
Good job!👏🎉🙏
I had subcision alone didn't work I paid a lot money, the dr never told to do the filler, so now I would like to do fat tranfer to my acne scars
Hello I am about to have that procedure in my face can you please tell me how much did you pay for subcision procedure . Thanks in advance
Cost of doing this all
Total cost of treatment
amazing
How much per section cost
Does it come back
I think this guy can get additional improvement on his skin with some microneedling sessions.
Love the job! I have a question, what happen with thise fillers after 5 or 10 years?
I also want to know..
How can I contact with you?
How many ml of filler is put?
Lighting and angles matter
Great job
Nice results doc! Going to be offering subcision to my patients as well.
How much do you charge patience? Do drs help people who aren't very rich with this method 🤔 my left cheek is destroyed from a bad acne from high-school
The radiesse is mor favourite for acne scar
Subscion and then filler does it will not affect healing ?
I have such a problem with my appearance, how can I contact you, where is your chamber
How long does the result last
Permanent removed scars how much cost sir and your clinic adrees
But before and after photo are not taken in the same light and angle
Can i have the name of fillee
What was the estimated cost for this procedure?
Very good information Sir 👍
How much would it cost for subcision on both cheeks and 2 syringes. One for each cheek?
Maybe like 800$ but honestly make a consultation with him if your actually interested and willing to get it done , im gonna get treatment soon by him doesnt matter the cost but if it works then that is amazing
Доктор, как можно связаться с вами?
But what about when your body absorbs all the hyaluronic acid ?? It’ll back the same ? Or is thjs permanent??
Nice
Where is your clinic sir i am suffring from akne skars
Different angles
How Much Does a Subcision Cost
All of these so called acne scar treatments are complete bs. Most are insanely pricey and the results are literally non existent. It baffles me how we have advanced so much in the realm of technologically but still havent figured out how to fix acne scars of all things.
Um NOT true. I had acne scars and subcision and fillers have done wonders for me. It works
@@alenarose7790 Notice how you said "fillers" For one subcision isnt even as effective without fillers and fillers are temporary. So whats the point of fillers if it doesn't even last its useless if its not permanent.
@@MS-bw8qc look up Bellafill. It’s permanent and I have 7 syringes of it. Even if it says 5 years it’s actually permanent that’s why they do a skin test to see if you’re allergic a month before the procedure. Also each subcision will improve the skin by 50-70% and it will be a long term improvement , the skin won’t go back to being the same but yes multiple sessions will be required to achieve ideal long term result
@@MS-bw8qc I’ve had about 4-5 subcision sessions w filler and my skin has dramatically improved
@@alenarose7790 I know what bellafill is but the idea of taking a filler like that doeasnt appeal to me. The long lasting effects and damage it could do isnt guarnteed to not happen.
Great Job!
I had subcision and fully ablative co2 laser for a hypertrophic scar on my beard/moustache area right where they connect, which is an area which is an intersectino of a lot of facial muscles. After the subcision i feel like that part of my face looks different, less defined. that side of my mouth almost looks like a homer simpson mouth whereas before there was clear definition between my cheek and chin if you see what I mean. Really hard to explain and I understand hard for you to say without seeing, but is it possible that subcision could have changed the structure of my skin, the way it falls? Could he have severed lesser facial retaining ligaments? Or is it just sweling? I had subcision 4 weeks ago tomorrow and co2 laser 2 days ago.
How is it now and what subcision instrument was used
@@arar7676 yep or longer. The body and skin has to recover and rebuild
@@arar7676 Don't worry the swelling will subside and you will be fine. Give it at least 6 months before you judge the results
@@spanishjohn420 please give me reply
@@arar7676 hows it going?
In which country
Interesting 🧐 I’m always on the look out on how to get rid of my scars
Same. Do you feel insecure
@@vedantbohat3069 nah but ya moms is
You will never get rid of your acne scars they are permanent. Stop letting them steal your money I’ve done the most severe lasers out there and my scars didn’t budge.
How much is something like this
Hi Doctor, May i know if subcision + PRP can improve my depressed scars? Or it is better to be done with fillers?
I did subcision before with HA filler. But the fillers was only use as a spacer. Sadly due to covid 19. I wasn't able to schedule 2nd session.
@@justinongstation8233 how were your results with subcision+filler?
@@SS-hd5jx the scars is still present but it less deeper. A satisfactory result for 1 session. I would have done more sessions if it wasn't for covid 19. My filler was only use as a spacer so it won't retether
@@justinongstation8233 what does it mean as a spacer? is that different from just regular filler? also what filler did you use if i may ask?
im interested in subsicion with bellafill but im a bit nervous
@@SS-hd5jx I don't know much about fillers they are many kinds. I'm not a doc. But this is how my doc explain it to me. When you do subcision you are cutting those fibrotic strands. Once it been cut your scar will lift. There is a chance that those fibrotic scars reattach. So he use filler as spacer, to lessen the chances for it to reattach.
The before and after photos have to be taken in the same lighting at the same angles. If you take the after photo in diffuse lighting or at a more pleasing angle of the skin, the result is not accurate and it’s misleading.
Want to tak apointment
Where are you doing your treatments doctor?
Can we do TCA at home?
I am trying to find a doctor who can do TCA on my scars without any luck. If I do it myself will it work
Great video again, I have a question for you doctor 12 days ago I have done subcision with bellafill everything went right except a little bit darkness were the Procedure was done is that normal , do I have to wait few more day in order to see more improvement I only can tell you the subcision was very Rough , may I have your opinion about it
Thank you again
How are your results so far? I’m planning on getting this treatment in 1-2 months from now.
How was it? I'm on the same path
@@doug73975 👍
@@cherrycolafps 👍
is this a permanent result?
Dr.Ben where are you located?I need your help for my acne scars
Is the effect of filling temporary or permanent??
fillers are for temporary improvement. The subcision results are permanent.
@@deadpool-wp1eq i heard a Dr said
They can used permanent fillers too
I do not know. How those permanent fillers will look after 10 years
The common fillers used by derms are temporary. But there's a permanent one called BellaFill.
Sir can you fix I have scar on chin like that by an accident.
question: im about to get a subcision treatment for my acne scars, theyre going to use a filler as well. She said itll last awhile but then whats the point? Does it act a filler as my scars improve or do the scars return once the filler is gone
It's supposed to help heal tye scars. The filler Is there to help the skin and collagen heal. The filler is to keep the fibers from healing back together
Do you recommend Juvederm Ultra over Bellafill ??
Sir i have same but i am in UAE can you tell me what can i do pls
Hello Doc.....I Love de results.....congrats 👏👏👏 would you mind telling which type of needle ? Nokor ? Thank you 😃
Guys, I've undergone two sessions of subcision and I barely notice any improvement. I also got pigmentation from it. Should I continue this procedure? Will it be worth it? Are the results of subcision permanent?
It's hard to tell when we don't know how your scars are... Have you tried microneedling?
I have the same like there’s no tissue in the side of my face because of the acne scars at the right side of my cheeks its fuller
I think there is no forever filler it will turn it back to normal is that correct??
ya :(. They are temporary.
The skin don't turn back exactly the way it was before the filler. It always gets a little better than before, but probably the patient will require more filler for a while
Sir can alone tca cross can help in acne scars(superficial) ones..??
I dont have confidence in everything because of my acne scars that ive been wearing since im in hs 😢
Same
Same bro
Have you tried some microneedling sessions?
Doctor please I need your help my face full 😭 face open pores 😭😭🥺 please treatment

Can I get subcision for acne scars, while i also have a history of keloid?
How much cost
Put it in the same lighting!! Like how do they think not to do that! fake or poor results!
Is it permanent treatment for this type of scars
Tca is best or a nano 4 fast results?
is filler used just for temporary looks? Or does it have impact for scarring as well?
And the use of Sculptra or Radiesse right after the subcision ( without fillers) .. . is It more effective?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
This acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* is very useful for my daughter that is why she definitely love it. We have already expended a hefty amount of money trying various acne cures for over a year now but not one of them had worked. I am thankful that we`ve found out this guide. We observed an apparent distinction within a couple of days and within a few weeks her acne had cleared up.
I want to get treated by you
Subcision is permanent fillers aren't don't forget that guys
I think that if you do subcision and C02 laser the results would be great! With the subcision will improve the scar depression then, with the laser, it will improve even more.
@@jeaa1007 I've been doing tca chemical peels and tca cross I've done 2 tca peels and 2 tca cross and I've barley seen any results it's so depressing
@@LifvingConnoisseur you shouldve went for subcisoin and co2. Chemical peels were intended for treating open pores and improving the skin texture and tone. But sadly doctors falsy advertise it as it clears scars.
@@LifvingConnoisseur why didnt you consider dermabrasion?
@@deadpool-wp1eq what's dermabrasion
Great job dr 👌👌👌
Bella filler last longer, than the other fillers... don’t understand why he’s using juvederm that only last months...I guess that’s how they make $$$
bella fill has risks. some people experience little balls on their face from it , and its hard to remove them
Thats just dumb, not everyone wants to inject a semi-permanent filler that cannot be dissolved. Hyaluronic fillers have a much higher safety profile that can be readily dissolved with hyaluronidase.
Until you have temporary fillers youre not supposed to get bellafil. Any injector who tries to use this on you the first time is trying to make $$ it can cause semi permanent issues if fillers dont work well on your scars
Plz help me sir 😭
Veo que con rellenos que dan bien, pero me dijeron que no dura mucho tiempo se va en un mes, esos rellenos son caros, me hice tca, subcision y laser me fue bien mejore las cicatrices de acne, pero veo sale mejor con rellenos.
How do I see this doctor I can't get a number?
Many types of doctors do this.. Google for doctors - subcision with filler for ance scar procedures
Can subcision be performed when the patient has active acne not in the scar area but other area?
Not recommend bro you get more scars when ypu wanna treat scars while you have active acne treat acne first
Hair removal laster treatment is compulsory before fractional laser for acne scars?..
shaving is enough
Same problem sir
Plz sir help me
What a shame that fillers are not a permanent fix
Question: how much is the average price for subscision procedure?
I want to get it done soon but a bit concerned about the price
This particular dr charges about 1500
@@carynunez3155 great. Is that per cheeck or both cheecks?
And is it for just subcision or both filler and subcision?
And where is this dr.?
The dr is in LA i paid about 2600 for what he calls the mega 3 things at once its subcisiion tca cross and prp i just did in 2 days ago so i still don’t know if is gonna work or not lol
@@carynunez3155 great! 😃
Im saving money right now to get it done soon. Happy to hear you got it done
Hopefully you didn’t waste your money on it. Look around for doctors who doesn’t charge this much for a subscission. Anything more than 300$ is way too much money for subscision. This doc seems like a UA-cam Derm with inflated prices. Also I saw him putting TCA in pretty much every scars. That’s gonna make anything except icepick scars the worse.
I like subcusion. I'm a bit hesitant with fillers. I came across a video that's says most filler last longer than 6months. Sometimes years, what's your opinion about that?
Nice before and after. Big difference
In my opinion the best would be to either use radiesse or fat transfer instead of HA fillers.
It last usually 6months max....I did and it only lasted 5 months
so basically after fillers lasted it will gradually get back to its look?
@@girelletroyconsolacion3394
Well it's the confusing part for me. There was a study where HA filler last longer than a year. It was seen MRI scan that HA filler was still on the body but move in diff location.
@@girelletroyconsolacion3394 yeah exactly
For next time dear doctor you can use Photoshop.
How many Ccs of fillers did you use here doctor? how much do you typically use? I had subsiding plus 1.5 cc filler done recently. I thought I made huge progress but after all the swelling disappeared scars came back, so you think more filler would be required?
My face acne scars. It's. same
What type of vacuum device is used after the subcision?
Do dermal fillers help indented scars overtime?

Wonderful acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to get short, sweet and also to the point about what food items to avert and boost intake for better skin, eliminating acne. Trust me, this will make sense. I can guarantee that this is a helpful guide. Extremely informative and a great help to eliminate acne.
Poor guy probably spent heaps for little improvement.
That’s exactly what happened he’s probably very depressed now just sad.
Also what he has is nothing compared to my case I have both my cheeks entirely covered in scars lol.
