Subcision is a recognized treatment procedure particularly for rolling acne scars, but it needs modification to increase the effect of procedure. Aims: The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of Endo-Radiofrequency (Endo-RF) subcision in acne scars treatment. Methods: In this study, 9 adult patients with atrophic acne scars were enrolled. The patients receive Endo-RF subcision one time and followed up for 6 months. Outcome was measured using biometric assessment by Visioface 1000 D, Mexameter and skin ultrasound imaging system, post-treatment photographs and patient's satisfaction. Results: The results showed that patients had significant improvement from baseline according to the reduction of the number of skin fine and large pore (p < 0.05) and spots (p < 0.05). Also, the density and thickness of the dermis and epidermis were significantly increased (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Endo-RF subcision modality can consider as a safe and effective method for acne scar treatment. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
