There are fibrotic bands, which pulls the skin downwards causing indentations or depressionsat skin surface.

Subcision is a procedure using a hypodermic needle to cut these fibrotic bands. The depressed scar is immediately released and new connective tissue forms under this scar by normal course of wound healing.
