A dermatological device for subcision of sub-epidermic tissues. The device is provided with a blunt dermis contacting surface enabling the operator to lift or cause traction to the skin from underneath the skin, after placement of the dermal contacting surface of the device under the skin. Placement of the dermal contacting surface of the device under the skin is achieved by penetration of the skin of a patient via a sharp tip of a stylet housed within the device. By mere skin lifting from underneath, fibrous bands present within the dermis are detached/disrupted/dissected from their attachments to the skin or from their attachments to deeper layers. Detachment/disruption/dissection of the fibrous bands can be aided by the adjunct of a dissecting arm which by rotation can enhance the detachment/disruption/dissection of the fibrous bands. Pathological skin conditions such as the edematous-fibrosclerotic panniculopathy known also as cellulite or any depressed scar or deep wrinkle can benefit from the device as dissection of the fibrous bands, which cause depression of skin areas, restitutes a nearly anatomical evened up skin surface.
