Many people are negative on medical-grade silicone injections. I disagree.
I'm a 50 year old male who had acne as a teenager. Scarring occurred and I was in search of a permanent solution.
About 15 years ago, I had a Board Certified dermatologist in New York City inject micro-droplets of silicone in my scars. The results were excellent and permanent. I was very happy. I decided I needed a touch up and didn't want to travel to New York so I searched Real Self for a doctor who had experience with silicone.
I was thrilled to find Dr. Alexander Donath in Cincinnati. Dr. Donath examined my skin, marked the injection site, numbed it up a bit, and injected the micro-droplets of medical-grade silicone into the depressions of my acne scars. I am thrilled with the results.
In my experience, medical-grade silicone injections given by a Board Certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist are safe and provide great results.

I agree with you 100%.It was a beautiful result if you find a experience surgeon.

Please post before and after pics!! I would love to see the results as I am considering silicone injections in my face myself.

I don't have any pics to share, but the scars were the deeper type, not the "ice-pick" type of scars. However, I suspect that silicone injections would help improve those as well. As one Board Certified doctor told me, "medical-grade silicone is the gold standard of fillers". It's permanent.
And not to be cynical, but some doctors love the recurring revenue stream that Juvederm and Restylane provide. Injecting a patient twice a year for 10 years provides a LOT more revenue than a one-time silicone injection.

what doctor did you go to in New York. I live in New York and I'm looking for a good doctor that provides Silicone Injections .

I went to Dr. David Orentreich. He's on the upper east side. Good doctor. His father, Dr. Norman Orentreich, pioneered the use of silicone injections.
I'm so happy for you! What kind of acne scarring did you have? I would love to see your results -- do you have any before and after photos?
