Dermal fillers and laser treatments
Fillers can improve the appearance of acne scars by partially lifting the depressed scar but their effect is temporary. The results can last from between a few months to a year using fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Perlane, etc. However, laser treatments such as Pixel, Smoothbeam, Erbium or Fraxel can dramatically and permanently reduce the appearance of acne scars with improvement of overall tone.

Acne scars - Make it plump and make it last
There are so many fillers these days that it is often difficult to know which is best. Acne scars are a specialized treatment area and thus the choice is often times easier.

My personal favorite is Radiesse (Calcium hydroxlapetite). This filler plumps, provides immediate correction and last approximately 9-16 months.

There are many options for filling in scars
Fillers are a temporary way to fill in depressed scars. Restylane can last about 6-9months, and radiesse 1-2 years. Fat can be another option to fill in scars and can last many years like 10 years give or take a few years when done right.
In my experience, using temporary fillers gives one only modest results and most people are left desiring more improvement. Other ways to lift the scar include subscision technique where you use a needle to lift the scar up so that it sits level with the...

Dermal Fillers for Acne Scars
Which demal filler that is selected depends on the type of acne scar that is being treated. For atrophic scars we use saline injections or a hyaluronic acid filler normally. If there is deeper tissue loss sometimes a volume filler like Sculptra or Radiesse is used. Fillers are usually not helpful for thicker scars and ice pick scars.

Filler for Deep Acne Scars
Deep acne scars, not pits which are small deep holes, are often best treated with more than one modality.
In many cases, subcision (a special needle or blade is passed under the scar to release it).
To elevate the scar, autologous fat transplantation, Radiesse, or Sculptra are typically used.

Best dermal filler for acne scars
There are many excellent fillers available today, and these can work very well to treat acne scars. Fillers can elevate the surface of the scar to a level even with the skin, removing any depressed, shadowy area. The severity of your acne scars will determine the best filler for your needs.
I prefer to use Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (HA Fillers), such as Juvederm and Restylane, to treat mild to moderate acne scars. The results can last from 9-12 months, and the...

Best Dermal Fillers for Acne Scars
Great question! It really depends on your degree of scarring. For individuals who have severe scarring with major volume depressions, I like to use a combination of Sculptra, fractioned laser, and micro-Radiesse injections. First, I use Sculptra to give a pan-facial volume restoration. I follow this up by performing fractionated laser, before finalizing with micro-Radiesse injections in the divots.

Silikon-1000 Best Filler for Acne Scars
In our practice, we correct acne scars using liquid injectable silicone (Silikon-1000). It is the ideal filler for acne scarring as it is incredibly precise and it is permanent. When injected properly with the micro-droplet, serial puncture injection technique by a well-trained, board-certified dermatologist, the results achieved are excellent.

I use Perlane for most of the acne scars that I treat. Sculptra can add volume if the supporting skin has become atrophic.
I use Perlane for most of the acne scars that I treat. Sculptra can add volume if the supporting skin has become atrophic. Radiesse may also be useful for deeper injections if there are defects in the subcutaneous tissues underlying the scar. For best results I like to use the fillers as a touch-up treatment following subcision and Fraxel Repair Laser. In my hands this give the very best results.
