What's best for acne scar fillers, Bellafill vs Silikon 1000? Could it cause an embolism for shallow filler technique? (photos)

May 13, 2018
Asked By:KRae76 in Saint Louis, MO

Last 2 yrs I've had: Infini RF -3tx, Fractionated CO2 (Total FX)-1tx, microneedling- 4tx, then Bellatero, Restalyne Silk, Restalyne Lyft, Restalyne Refyne. I'm tired, and broke. I want longer lasting filler w/better results. Which is safer, Bellafill or Silikon 1000 for shallow fill? Which will give best results? Also, do I need to worry about EMBOLISMS with a shallow fill? Deeper fillers aren't working! Is that why no one has done shallow fill? Some scars by corners of mouth! Thank you so much!
