My regular followers know only too well that I am no fan of the use of permanent fillers, as permanent fillers can translate into permanent complications, not just immediately after injection, but five, ten or even tweny+ years later.. And these complications can be very difficult to treat. And not uncommonly these late complications can first be triggered by some kind of manipulation of the area, such as during dental procedures or if other safer HA fillers are later used in the same area. So, please keep this in mind when doing your search for treatment of this scar, since Bellafil was used in that area. In general, subcision is a very safe and effective and relatively inexpensive technique for elevating and smoothing all kinds of atrophic (depressed) scars from all causes in all skin typies. I have been performing this procedure since 1995 with very gratifying results. You would be wise to seek out an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and be sure to tell him/her that you have been treated in that area with Bellafil. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, at the present time, there is no technology or techniques, either alone or in combination anywhere in the world that can completely erase a mature scar (defined as a scar over three months old). In general, about a 60-80% improvement in appearance (rarely 90%) can be realistically...
I'm sorry you have experienced this. I have been cautioning my regular followers for years that the latest, supposedly "next big thing" lasers (as well as so many of the other"bells and whistles," fancy- named gizmos being hawked on social media as panaceas for just about everything) are really...
Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and...
