Question

I got full forehead scars I tried juavederm ultra but didn't get good reasult but better than before .may I use sculptra?? It really bother me .

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

Proposed answer: There are a few different fillers that can be used to treat unsightly scars. Restylane and Juvederm are commonly used to treat deep acne scars, seeing as you were not satisfied with the results I would recommend you see a board-certified doctor that can evaluate you and talk to you about the different options that you may have. Often times, combination laser treatment in addition to a filler or instead may provide better results.

Sculptra is not a good filler for atrophic scars. You may instead opt for Ematrix treatments and/or fractional laser to help with your scars. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Soft fillers like juvederm, belotero or the like are good for scars on the forehead but long term, something like artefill would give a more lasting result.  I still believe lasers are the first line treatment with microneedling and you seek advice from a laser and filler expert who treats acne scars frequenly.  My practice specliazes in this and you should seek someone similar for the best results.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there. I'm sorry to read that your forehead
scars make you feel self-conscious. Although some scars to respond well to
injectable fillers, based on your photo, I think you may see better results
from a laser treatment. Many lasers work by encouraging your skin to develop
more collagen, a substance that keeps skin thick and resilient. In essence,
these treatments can help stimulate your skin to fill in depressed scars on its
own. We've had great success with the Deep and SCAAR FX treatments, which are
specifically designed for scar tissue such as yours. Of course, an in-person
consultation with a board-certified dermatologist will likely give you a better
sense of the treatment that's right for you. Good luck.

eMatrix is RF (radiofrequency) technology and not laser.The types of rolling, ice pick and boxed scars are ideal for this sublative technology where RF energy is delivered below the superficial most layers of the skin to reduce the scarring. I agree that you need more than 5 treatments. I recommend eMatrix highly. We use eMatrix in our practice.
