Scar revision usually works better

John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: Collagen injections for facial scars?

Can collagen injections work on facial scars such as chicken pox scars?  The old pock marks really bother me.

Hello,

Soft tissue filler injections like Collagen can be useful, but are quite temporary. My preference is to revise scars if possible. Fillers need to be repeated every few months and therefore become more expensive in the long run. A good scar revision provides permanent improvement. 

Best Regards!
