I had a restylane skin booster injected in to my cheeks for acne scars and now my rolling scars look worse. What can I do?

Fillers can be a nice option for reducing the appearance of acne scarring depending on the degree and type of scarring present; it is extremely helpful when used in combination with more permanent solutions such as laser or subcision.  Treatment of acne scarring should be highly personalized; there is no quick fix unfortunately.  If fillers made the area more prominent, this could be due to placement, injection technique, or swelling.  Thankfully, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved in a few hours with hyaluronidase and will resolve by themselves overtime.

 Thank you for sharing your question. Sorry you had a bad experience with Restylane injections. Fortunately, the product can be dissolved with Vitrase. Make sure your injector is very experienced. Good luck.

I often use fillers for acne scars with fantastic results.  I use a great deal of fillers for this reason.  However, if the fillers do not look correct you should return to have it dissolved.  Please consult an expert with scars and fillers for the best results.  Best, Dr. Green
