I have been advised to use fillers to smooth out an old burn scar and a kind of 'dip' in the skin around the eye area. Do you see this as being helpful? And how deep should the injection be?
Answer: Dermal fillers for scarring Dermal fillers are used to perform one task well, and that is to fill in depressions of the skin. You can have more filler added in some areas to help restore volume to an area, but, the bottom line is that Dermal fillers fill. If you have a depressed scar a dermal filler will help with the shadows the scar creates on your skin, but, dermal fillers will be less effective in changing the texture and color of the burned skin. The beauty of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers is that they can be reversed immediately if the result is not what you had hoped for. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Possible subcision can be done for sunken in scarring Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: Fillers to smooth out an old burn scar It could help reduce uneven areas, but to change overall appearance, I doubt the effect would be worth the expense. Go see certifed burn care and injector specialists. Happy New Year

Answer: Burn scars and fillers I have not heard of using fillers for burn scars. But fillers can be used for any depressed region. This may camouflage the area of depression.

Answer: Fillers for burn scars Without seeing the type and location of the scar, it is still highly unlikely that fillers would be an appropriate treatment for the scars. The fillers original indication is not for scars but for facial wrinkles. As such, they are meant to restore the appearance of lost volume from wrinkles and most likely will not improve the scar's appearance.
