Before initiation of the procedure, the depressions should be marked with the patient standing in a relaxed position . Usually, tumescent fluid infiltration is performed in the deepest subcutaneous layer leading to complete anesthesia of upper layers of fat and more endurable superficial infiltration.…”

“…First described in 1995 by Orentreich, it offers a minimally invasive and effective treatment for the aforementioned indications. The mechanisms of scar improvement in subcision include the release of fibrotic strands underlying scars, an organization of blood in the resultant dermal pocket and connective tissue formation in area . Subcision improves cellulite by releasing the reticular dermis from underlying fibrous septal bands of hypoderm (Figure ).…”

Background: Subcision, also known as subcutaneous incisionless surgery, is a surgical intervention used to treat a variety of skin conditions including atrophic acne scars, depressed scars, cellulite, and wrinkles. Aims:We plan to prepare a review article about the indications of subcision, its adverse reactions, and pearls. Patients/Methods: We searched the literature for the information about subcision and its applications from papers published up to March 2019. The search was performed through the databases of the National Library of Medicine. Results: After a thorough review of the published papers about subcision, we finally chose to review 40 articles that had proper sample size and design to prepare this review article. Twenty-one papers were related to the application of subcision in the treatment of acne scar and other scars. Four articles were about the application of subcision to treat cellulite, and eight articles were related to other applications of subcision such as the treatment of striae or nasolabial fold. The remaining seven articles include published review papers about subcision or acne scar classification. Conclusion: Subcision seems to be effective on various skin conditions including acne scar, other depressed scars, and cellulite. It is easy to apply and inexpensive with short downtime and no significant complications. Subcision needs proper technique and adequate experience.

Gynoid lipodystrophy, also called cellulite, is defined as a metabolic disorder of the subcutaneous tissue that alters body contour. It is rare in men but affects 80%–90% of adult women.The authors describe a technique for the treatment of cellulite with non‐traumatic subcisionTM of septa by cannula associated with large‐gel‐particle hyaluronic acid (HA). It uses a special marking, a safe plan and a specific product. The product being used is Subskin Aeskins, in a subcutaneous plan as no major blood vessels were found.The authors report good aesthetic results with the proposed technique. The patients reported a high degree of satisfaction.The product chosen has high G prime and large particles, which accounts for resistance to deformation and a high lifting power. Moreover, HA is a biocompatible, absorbable product and considered a safe filler. This technique allows the treatment of an area with various surface irregularities.The Square Technique proved to be a minimally invasive technique, with fast results, no major risks and little downtime, bringing satisfaction to patients and improving their self‐confidence and quality of life.
