I had a traumatic scar excised and was left with yet more scarring from having stitches. After trying excision which helped but still left scars, I tried laser which damaged skin texture. Now I'm looking into fillers. Would Bellafil work for my atrophic scar that was caused by trauma rather than acne? I read that Bellafil is specifically for acne scars...but I'm hoping it could work for any kind of indented scarring. Any idea?
