I had juvederm done in some rolling acne scars on my cheeks 8 days ago. For three days the scars looked completely GONE. Since then, they have been coming back. Overall, there is an increase in volume but no difference to scars. My dr is convinced that I need more product but I think it was a technique issue. I can understand being a little "deflated" after swelling goes but not for scars to return! Is it possible to get the remaining portions subcised and THEN reinjected with more product?

Answer: Fillers used for acne scars One would need to know which filler substance was used. There are several categories of filler substances that can be used for acne scarring. Some swell immediately with injection and therefore, there is caution with the amount of substance that is injected due to the potential of overfilling. Overall, those type of fillers are temporary. There are collagen stimulating fillers that work in different manner. For this reason, they are my preferred filler substances when treating acne scars.

Answer: Acne scarring treatment-filler-laser Thank you for that excellent question. Unfortunately scarring from acne is very common.And treatment is difficult.I always tell my patients that we can likely improve this fine but it is difficult to eliminate it. A combination of fillers, chemical peels, and various lasers can be used to improve the appearance.I hope that helps.Dr. Daniel Radin. Dermatologist, Windsor, Ontario,Canada
