What You Will Learn

Core Outcomes —
What This Masterclass Covers

01

Scar Typing & Ladder Selection

Precise identification and classification of ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling/tethered scars — with a structured framework for selecting the right treatment ladder for each scar type and patient profile.

02

12-Week Scar Programme Design

How to build a complete 12-week scar treatment programme with clear milestones, patient communication checkpoints, and objective assessment intervals to track and evidence outcomes.

03

Sequencing RF Microneedling, Peels & PRP

Strategic sequencing of RF microneedling, peel ladder steps and PRP support within a scar programme — timing, intervals, and how each modality supports the others for compounding results.

04

Subcision — Indications to Aftercare

Full clinical coverage of subcision: indications, contraindications, risks, technique considerations and aftercare protocols — including how to counsel patients on realistic expectations and recovery.

05

Release + Rebuild Protocol

The Shujo "Release + Rebuild" concept: combining subcision with polynucleotide and/or biostimulator support where clinically appropriate — rationale, selection criteria and integration into the wider programme.

06

PIH Prevention in Skin of Colour

Mastery of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation prevention during scar procedures in melanin-rich and pigmentation-prone skin — where standard scar protocols require the most careful, informed adaptation.

Signature Protocol

The Shujo
Release + Rebuild

The Release + Rebuild framework is the clinical concept at the centre of this masterclass. It brings together subcision and biostimulator or polynucleotide support into a sequenced, evidence-informed protocol — designed for practitioners who want to offer a more complete answer to tethered and atrophic acne scarring.

I

Assess & Classify

Full scar typing, skin assessment and programme eligibility — including PIH risk stratification for skin of colour.

II

Release

Subcision to disrupt tethered fibrous bands — with clear indications, technique selection and contraindication review.

III

Support & Rebuild

Polynucleotide or biostimulator support introduced at the appropriate interval to promote matrix remodelling and volume restoration.

IV

Layer & Refine

Integration of RF microneedling, peels and PRP across the 12-week programme to compound results and address surface texture.

"Subcision alone releases the scar. What you put in after — and when — determines whether the result lasts."

Esther Emenike-Okorie · Founder, Shujo Aesthetics

Specialist Focus

PIH Mastery in Skin of Colour

A dedicated component of this masterclass is PIH prevention during scar procedures in melanin-rich and pigmentation-prone skin. This is where most standard scar protocols fall short — and where the clinical cost of getting it wrong is highest. You will leave with a framework to safely sequence scar treatment in these patients without triggering or worsening pigmentation.
