Which is safer and more effective? I have some acne scars and dents i would like to rid my cheeks of. I’m a little skeptical about the fillers though based on some reviews i read.
Answer: Bellafil or laser resurfacing for scars the physicians below addressed this pretty well. I have not been particularly impressed with the results that I saw from laser resurfacing of the skin for acne scarring. For the "rolling" type of acne scars - wide, faint gradual borders, Bellafil works nicely. It is not for punctate, "ice pick" scars. Bellafil restores volume whereas a laser does not.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Is laser resurfacing or Bellafill better for acne scars? Both of these procedures are often used on the same patient. Deeper atrophic rolling scars are best treated with filler such as Bellafill. If you have multiple small scars which are boxcar and ice pick, laser can be helpful. I also use subcision, PRP, TCA cross, and microneedling to get the best results. I use a unique technique for injecting the scars which uses tangential lightening to best highlight the scars being treated.

Answer: Acne Scarring Treatment Bellafill is a great treatment for specific acne scarring. It is a longer term filler with a 5 year indication. However, Co2 laser is great for acne scarring and can also help with any post inflammatory hyperpigmentation that may be left from old scarring. I would suggest scheduling a consultation with a provider to determine your specific needs. Once your scarring is identified, that will help in determining the best route to take as far as treatments go. All in all, fillers such as Bellafill can be a great option but you may be better suited with a laser to treat all factors associated with your specific type of scarring.
