Another Round of Needles!

The final procedure was another round of needling called Subcision or Subdermal Undermining.  The process involves separating the skin tissue in the affected area from the deeper scar tissue. This allows the blood to pool under the affected scar area, eventually causing the deep rolling scar to level off with the rest of the surrounding skin surface.  A much larger needle is inserted under the dermis on an angle underneath the scar allowing the blood to pool underneath it and push it out.  As awful as it sounds, it was one of the least painful for the procedures and only took a few minutes.  I felt only a slight pin pricking sensation where he was working and the skin being pulled slightly.
