Acne scars need a combination approach for improvement. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type. As everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring, the best solution is a tailored one. Typically you need fillers like bellafill and sculptra for atrophic indented type scars with or without subcision. Subcision for depressed tethered scars. Vascular lasers like yellow laser, aerolase, excel V or IPL for redness or thick scars. And lasers such as fraxel, erbium, co2 or fractional radiofrequency like venus viva, skinfinity, intensif microneedling RF for textural issues and superficial scarring. Deep ice pick scars and narrow box car scars are best treated with TCA CROSS and punch excision. All lasers are combined with microneedling and PRP to get even better results and improve healing times. The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment plan is needed by an expert physician. It is never about the laser or product that gives the results, its about the expert behind the equipment that gets you the outcome. Scars cannot be cured and will need life-long treatments to maintain and build on the results. Best, Dr. Emer.
Without seeing the scar, one cannot be sure, but for long term correction, Bellafill is probably the best. For temporary correction ( about one year), Restylane Lyft is a good choice.
Repairing an indented scar near your eye can be filled with multiple different fillers. HA fillers such as Refyne are good for this. However, subcision and lasers or Infini might be a good choice. Bellafill is a permanent filler that is approved for acne scars and needs a skin test 3-4 weeks prior to the injections.Without pictures, it is hard to give exact recommendations.
The best treatment for a scar will depend on your in-office exam. Typically for eyelids, the thinner H/A products are best. The eyelids, being so thin, may not look good with any fillers. Seek out a consultation with a board-certified surgeon who can give a thorough opinion about your options. Best wishes.
Assuming the fillers were injected properly, it is extremely unlikely that crying after your treatment would cause any migration or problem with your fillers. That being said, should you have any further questions or concerns, there is no substitute for a follow-up visit with your provider to go...

Thank you for your question and I'm sorry that you're not satisfied with your results. Fillers typically come pre-packaged, so diluting filler is unlikely. However, if you are concerned, I suggest discussing your concerns with your injector. Otherwise, be sure to see a reputable provider in your...
Very complex in reality as there are multiple causes of vertical and horizontal lip lines. Majority are static wrinkles, meaning wrinkles at rest. The Gold Standard is to test for any element of dynamic wrinkles, namely wrinkle when you 'pucker'- most patient will have an element of this. OK,...
Firstly, I think that you look fine the way that you are. Nobody exactly same on both sides. However, idf this line bothers you something like Retylsne Defyne can be used to try to fill it. My biggest problem with this line is that as soon as I fill it the patient makes a smile to test it and ...
Hello, and thank you for your question. Dermal fillers can be used in many ways for facial rejuvenation. Injecting filler and Botox into the masseter muscle can change the appearance of one's jawline. To achieve a more heart-shaped appearance, I suggest an in-office consultation with a...
