The Power of Combination Therapy: Subcision, Sculptra, and Microneedling for Atrophic Scars

By Lauren Gardstrom, Expert Practitioner at The Confidence Bar


Atrophic scars—those pesky little reminders of breakouts past—can be incredibly stubborn. They create dips and dents in the skin that seem impossible to smooth out. But with the right combination of treatments, significant improvement is achievable. Enter the powerhouse trio: subcision, Sculptra, and microneedling. When used together, these treatments work like a dream team to restore volume, boost collagen production, and refine skin texture.


Step 1: Subcision – Releasing the Tethers

The first step in this combination therapy is subcision. Using a tiny needle, I break up the tough, fibrotic strands that anchor the scar down. These strands pull the scar inward, preventing the skin from healing properly. Once they’re released, the skin gains the ability to rise and regenerate, creating a smoother surface.

Step 2: Sculptra – Stimulating Collagen from Within

Following subcision, I introduce Sculptra, a powerful biostimulator designed to enhance collagen production. Injecting Sculptra into the treated area encourages the skin to regenerate from within, filling in those hollowed areas over time. This ensures not just an immediate improvement, but long-term skin remodeling that continues to enhance results in the months to come.


Step 3: Microneedling – Refining and Perfecting

To tie it all together, microneedling is performed to further stimulate collagen and elastin production. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a natural healing response. This improves skin texture, fades imperfections, and even reduces pore size. The result? Smoother, healthier-looking skin that appears more even and rejuvenated.


Why This Trio Works

This combination treatment plan has been delivering remarkable results for my patients at The Confidence Bar. By addressing atrophic scars from multiple angles—breaking fibrotic tethers, inducing collagen growth, and refining the skin’s surface—we achieve comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Unlike standalone treatments that only target one layer of the skin, this approach works from the dermis to the epidermis, effectively treating scars at every level.


Not only does this method provide natural-looking improvements, but it also comes with minimal downtime, making it an excellent option for those looking to enhance their skin without significant interruption to their routine.
