How can I treat acne scars with microdroplets of silicone? (Photo)

Asked By:SmithN23 in Dallas, Texas

How can I treat acne scars with micro droplets of silicone—Alcon Silikon 1000? I saw a plastic surgeon, he stated he can correct my scarring using a filler similar to Restylane and Juvederm. I did 4 treatments, never saw any results from it other than permanent discoloration and permanent small bumps. I’ve been told not to use Laser because it can burn my skin and/or cause the silicone to heat up and reshape and come out of my face like a hard rock. Does anyone have any recommendations?
