Generally speaking, fillers do not tend to be useful in improving the appearance of "ice pick" acne scars. Laser resurfacing, depending on the depth of the acne scars and the depth of penetration that is available with certain lasers, can help improve the quality of these scars and re-texturize the adjacent skin to help blend the scars more. Medical grade chemical peels, using TCA is also a way to treat these deep acne scars.
Ice pick scars are the hardest acne scars to treat. They typically do not respond great to fillers or laser. Sometimes they respond to TCA cross therapy. It really depends on where are the scars are and are how deep they are etc. Best to see a great board-certified dermatologist with a lot of experience in this area for advice.
Fillers is not the ideal treatment for icepick scarring. This is more appropriate for other types of acne scars. Specifically for icepick scars, I like a combo approach that includes TCA CROSS technique. Please see a board certified dermatologist to assist you in curating the best approach for your particular skin type and condition.
Hi, the use of cánulas may reduce the risk of hematomas in your condition. As with any patient, cannulas provide a safer approach to the use of fillers, reducing their already low risk
