I am 32 and I suffer from acne and scars and I also have saggy cheeks and under eye dark circles. I did prp session and I havent seen any results so I am thinking about filler.I heard about a new kind of filler called neauvia organic which is cheaper than other kinds, please tell me if this organic filler is effective and how long does it last??
Answer: Organic filler Fillers alone will improve your acne scars very little. I wouldn't expect PRP to improve them at all. A combination of treatments will be the best way to approach acne scars. A Fraxel laser would usually be the best first step for acne treatment. This will tighten the skin as well as make some of the depressions more shallow. Other depressions can be treated with fillers and subcison (elevating the depression by dividing the underlying scar with a needle) may be necessary for this. Generally, the benefit from a filler alone is limited, but it can be helpful in certain patients. You need to make an appointment to see a PS with experience in this field for a definitive plan of action. I would not worry about organic fillers. the most important aspect of a filler is how long it lasts and its viscosity. Hyaluronic acid fillers are natural to the body anyway, and an organic filler may not be. Thank you for your question, and best of luck to you.

Answer: Sometimes cheaper is not better option, especially when it comes to your skin. I have never heard of that fillers but there are other fillers that do a great job. Sometimes cheaper is not better option, especially when it comes to your skin. I believe that you would require combination of treatments to treat acne scars, saggy cheeks, and dark circles. I would advise you to look into laser treatment, followed up with chemical peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling, and fillers. Make an appointment with board certified provider to get examined and to discuss your options. Good luck!

Answer: Acne scars Dear reissa..: There are many different types of acne and acne scars. The careful assessment is important, and seen a dermatologist who has numerous treatment options available would be the best approach. If you have ongoing acne, you may want to undergo a series of treatments with CoolTouch laser, which permanently improves acne and helps acne scarring as well. Microneedling with PRP definitely gives impressive results in acne scars, especially if additional PRP is injected directly into the stars, and a single treatment will not show you the benefits. You will want to have a series of 4 to 6 treatments. Whatever scars remain could be filled with a temporary or even a more permanent filler, like BellaFill. All the best, Dr. Clark

Answer: Look at results Reissa. I am not familiar with that filler. You have raised a couple of areas that are concerning to you that should be addressed with a systematic approach of options to address each. Acne and scars can be tricky and I would have to see a photo to make recommendations; however, I cannot see how filler of any type would help. Scar indentations usually do not respond to filler injections underneath to "pop" them up because the skin is usually tethered down to the deeper tissue by tough bands of scar tissue. There are a whole list of ways to treat acne and scarring from that. My advice is to see a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon with experience in this area who has many different tools and techniques to improve your look; and, has results that display that skill. Best, DrG
