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 for Acne Scars It will not make the scars look worse if done correctly. The scar needs to be released from below the skin and then the filler can be placed. It can potentially get worse if the filler is placed more around the periphery of the scar than just beneath it.

Answer: Radiesse for Acne Scars If you have contracted scars which are tethered down to the underlying tissue, then injecting a fill will just make the pit or scar look worse as the tissue surrounding the pit will be inflated with the filler. If the doctor is able to subcise the contraction by percutaneously releasing the attachments, then the filler may work better. This is true for any filler such as Juvederm, Restylane, Evolence, Perlane, not just Radiesee. Good luck with your treatments.

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.
