Worth It
Spent: $525 in Garden Grove, CA

I have suffered from acne pit scarring for the past two years located on both of my cheeks. After researching dermal fillers, I went to see a dr. this a.m. He suggested Juvederm and the cost for a syringe was $525. He gave me a dental block, shot the needle twice in my mouth near the cheek area and used a numbing cream. I can see an 80% improvement. A little redness at the injection site and my mouth is still a little numb 2 hours later. I am extremely happy and excited to see what it looks like in a few days. Will write an updated review.

I have a very bad atrophy on my cheek from a cortisone injection and am considering using a temporary filler. Please let me know if you have happy with the results in a few days - I'm very curious! Thank you

Hey Mary..i to have had juvaderm for a depressed acne scar on my chin. I have tried Juvaderm and the last time i went they used Juvaderm ultra plus. I liked the results of both! Doesnt help if you have texture problems associated with it though..but overall a nice improvement. The nice thing about it is that its a temporary filler so if you dont like it the product will disolve.

Hi Madison! I am very happy that you loved your injection results! I know how depressing it can be to have acne scarring.

It is depressing for sure. Its still noticeable to me but this does help and i do see improvements which is nice. Too bad its temporary though :(

Hi Beachlover, why did you put that the treatment wasn't worth it if you say it came out good? Were there other problems or was it just a mistake in your voting? thanks

@Sats, my apologies, clerical error. I have changed the icon to a "thumbs up" sign. =)

Its has been about 2-3 years since I have gotten any new injections, been lazy. I am thinking about going today. I have a couple of new scars that showed up and hopefully the injections will help. I am going to call my dermatologist this time, to see if he can do the procedure.

I had juvaderm for some ice pick scars and no difference. Perhaps they didnt go deep enough?

I think the depth of your scar could have been a factor. I am looking in to seeing a Dr who can perform the TCA cross method where acid is dropped inside the ice pick scar to stimulate collagen growth.
