i had a hair transplant in 2006 which left me with a depressed scar from ear to ear. ive had 7 voluma injections so far within the last 2 years but like i say they only seem to last less than a few month instead of the 2 year i was told the filler should last for, but the filler option works great i just think i need a more stronger filler. so was wondering about belafill as a more permanent solution. i am aware this products can not be reversed like HA fillers. may need to travel to usa to fix

Answer: Neck scar that is depressed Hair transplants should NEVER be taken from the neck as they form scars that are different than from the scalp. Fillers are the only way to relieve the depression and scalp micropigmentation will make the scar non-visible. See below

Answer: Dermal fillers can help depressed scars If you've had Voluma injections and they've helped improve your scar temporarily, then I agree- you probably could get longer duration improvement with a more permanent class of filler, such as Bellafill. A Bellafill kit contains 5 one cc syringes, and you would likely use all 5 of them for a scalp scar as the one you describe. Roughly 20% of each syringe is PMMA, the rest is essentially collagen. This means that within about 2 months the collagen is gone, but the permanent PMMA remains. This is the "permanent" part that can stimulate intrinsic collagen production, giving you long term results. Yes, there are other products that might provide benefit (Radiesse or Sculptra), but your experience with these would probably be similar to Voluma. Good luck.
