I have atrophic boxcar scars on my cheeks and have tried belotero before, but did not give me the volume I was after, nor did it last very long. I wanted to know if Juvederm Voluma would be a better filler for acne scarring base on longevity and volume correction.

Answer: Filler for Acne Scars Voluma is a great facial volumizer. However, for superficial acne scars, Belotero or Juvederm might be better options. Consult with your dermatologist about which filler would work best for you.

Answer: Voluma for acne scars Probably the greatest difficulty for using voluma to treat acne scars is that you need a slightly larger gauge needle to inject it as it is very thick. We typically use juvederm ultra for acne scars. the characteristics that we like are the high hydrophilic (absorbs a lot of water like a sponge) nature of the ultra and its ease of getting into scars and ballooning them open. Belotero absorbs very little water and is also easily deformed. In contrast voluma absorbs very little water but is resistant to being deformed (retains its shape/volume) which is why it is such a good midface filler.
