WORTH IT$1,200
Finally found time to go to New York for my second treatment with Dr. Barnett. Perfect in every way--pain was minimal, no downtime, and I'm actually getting complements on my beautiful skin. I never thought I would hear that! Can't recommend Dr. Barnett and liquid injectable silicone highly enough for anyone with acne scars. I have one more treatment to go but am so thrilled with the results to this point.

Three week update: Not much to add. Really, really...

Three week update: Not much to add. Really, really happy. Even my family, who kept saying I didn't need it, now say, "It's made such a difference!" It's the subtle kind of difference where your friends and coworkers know something is better, but they can't put their finger on it. Anyway, I am looking forward to going back to NYC in a few weeks to visit Dr. Barnett for a second round, though she did such an amazing job the first time that I honestly don't think there is that much to do (and believe me, I had plenty of scars, so it's not that I looked so great before--it's that she's kind of a miracle worker).

Thank you so much for posting this. It's nice to hear after reading so much good and bad hype over Silikon. I always felt that doctors want to push for temporary fillers because they wouldn't have so many repeat patients if treating with permanent. Please keep us updated on your progress. :-)

Thank you for your comments. I haven't been able to go for my second treatment yet because my work has been extremely busy, and I need about two days to fly up and back to see Dr. Barnett. But I am looking forward to going within the next 6-8 weeks, and I can say that I'm still incredibly pleased. When I think about how much money I spent on temporary fillers that didn't do much and were completely gone after a couple of months, I'm so grateful for Dr. Barnett.

Vices nailed it. The greedy doctors dont want the Filler "gravy train" to end.
I'm a guy who had deep wrinkles & a pitted complection I have had Botox which is great because it keeps you from making wrinkles but my wrinkles were deep and set in. I had one line on my forhead that I could put a coin in! The furrow lines (11) between my eyes took 24 units of botox & you could still see them.
An amazing doctor was recomended by a friend he basically said lay back & let me go over your entire face. He injected wrinkles as I expected but then he went after my deep acne scars & some chilhood scars. I wasnt expecting much as the cost was so low and the pain minimal. When he gave me the mirror I was blown away!
It was like I had been photo shopped! it didnt take weeks or multible sessions (wrinkles/scars are shallow so just a dab will do ya)
It has been two years and no one believes I'm in my 40's & I get complimented almost daily!

I've used silicone and Silikon 1000 for 30 years and no problems. Please tell me, who is your doctor?

Please let me amend my prior remark. Silikon 1000 has not been around for thirty years. More specifically, I have had silicone oil using the micro droplet technique injected into my face over a thirty year period.

I know, I'm sorry. My scars were not the type you could see really well in a typical photo of my face--I would've had to sit under harsh light and take it, which honestly I was too ashamed to do (I see now it's silly, a lot of people don't even notice acne scars, but that was all I could think about when I looked in the mirror). We did take a before in the office but I haven't seen it. If it helps my doc has some good pics on her website that are pretty representative of my experience.
