Restylane for Acne Scars?

Hey Caligirl,

Restylane can do a very nice job with acne scars though some cases may be tougher than others.  Don't expect perfection but coupling it with treatments like CO2 therapy can make it even more effective.  Possibly a peel.

 

Best of luck

Restylane can be an excellent filler for acne scars. Your doctor can inject saline to test whether the indentations are tethered down and will or will not rise up . You can also inject saline prior to try to loosen them up with saline and a needle. I have had excellent results with this. I do think that laser is the ultimate best but also feel that sometimes raising the scars up prior to the laser improves your laser results.
