Individuals vary in their ability to form collagen and healing. The number of subcisions required will depend on the type, location and severity of depression and intensity of treatment. Usually, 3-6 visits suffice for the majority of moderate scarring.

Pain, bleeding, bruising and infection can happen as early side effects of the treatments. Some change of skin pigmentation can temporarily occur after healing. Therefore, sun protection or avoidance is advised.
