I have cystic acne scars and I am thinking of getting Radiesse as per doctor's recommendation. Do I have a big chance of getting more and deeper indentations than my existing deep acne scars?
Answer: Radiesse should improve the appearance of your acne scars Thanks so much for your question. In general, Radiesse should improve the contour deformities of your acne scarring. Radiesse serves to “volumize” the injected area, thereby tightening the skin. In some areas, undermining or subscision of the deeper acne scars may be necessary. There may be additional modalities available to improve the appearance of your skin. I would advise you to see a board certified/eligible plastic surgeon or dermatologist that is experienced in skin care.

Answer: Radiesse and Acne Scarring Radiesse is an excellent filler made of hydroxyapatite. It is designed to be injected into the very deep tissues, on top of the bone. I find it great for tear trough deformities and nasolabial folds, particularly around the nose as well as the mandibular deformities created by the jowls. None or these areas typically are affected by acne or acne scarring. If your surgeon wants to use the Radiesse in the cheek then yes the appearance of the acne scars can be made worse.
