Dermal fillers for Acne Scars

Dermal fillers for acne scars

Even after the successful acne treatment, do you still have acne scars? Unfortunately, it appears that acne scars are never left. Dermal fillers can also be used to treat some forms of acne scarring. However, they are generally thought of for their uses in wrinkle reduction or lip plumping.

Acne is a skin disease that progresses, causing whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples as the hair follicles fill up with oil and dead skin cells. When the blemish bursts through the hair follicle and penetrates deeper into the skin, acne scars occur.

Dermal fillers for Acne Scars

Your skin fixes the damage with collagen fibers until the acne clears. If too much or too little collagen is formed on your skin, you end up with an acne scar that may be depressed or raised.

Rolling scars and some boxcar scars, which are circular and deep indentations, may both be handled with fillers with significant improvement. In this use, Hyaluronic acid fillers or Collagen Based Dermal Filler Houston is widely used. Subcision may benefit better from severe scarring that does not respond well to fillers.

 

Using dermal fillers to treat acne scars

Dermal fillers Houston is an injection of cosmetics that adds volume to your skin.

Dermal fillers enhance the appearance of depressed acne marks, most commonly directed at smoothing out lines and wrinkles.

Skin problems and acne scar, Before and after dermal fillers treatment

Dermal fillers include hyaluronic acid( Restylane & Juvederm), Bellafill, and Sculptra for acne scars treatments. Bellafill is the only FDA-approved filler to treat acne scars but may not be the best choice to treat acne scars and is being used in most aesthetics and plastic surgery practices. Talk with your provider to see the best dermal fillers for your acne scars.

Applying dermal fillers will begin by washing the skin thoroughly and deciding which scars will be filled. The number of faults and severity of the scars determine the amount of filler to be used. The type of filler will depend on your provider’s recommendation. Next, the dermal filler is deposited under the scars with the help of a needle.

Types of Acne Scars:

Dermal fillers can not treat all types of acne scars with dermal fillers. There are three types of scars.

  • ice pick scars
  • boxcar scars
  • rolling scars

Ice pick and boxcar scars are wide, deep and they can not be treated with dermal fillers. However, while rolling, scars are wide with a gentle edge and can be treated with dermal fillers such as Bellafil.

Bellafill Filler

The only FDA-Approved treatment for depressed acne scars is Bellafil. The bovine collagen in the Bellafill will add volume and lifts the skin, making indented scars look less obvious. Slowly, the collagen will reabsorb into the body, but the PMMA microspheres will stay.

It will help the skin to produce more collagen and ultimately help the structure. Bellafill fillers normally last around 12 months for acne scars. A skin test is necessary before the treatment to prevent an allergic reaction from the bovine collagen portion of Bellafil. It can not be dissolved like hyaluronic acid fillers and has to be surgically removed.

Sculptra Fillers

Sculptra filler which is Poly-L-lactic acid, is unlike other fillers in that it doesn’t work right away. Instead, it stimulates collagen production and gradually lessens the appearance of acne scars over time. As a result, Sculptra butt lift is a prevalent nonsurgical butt augmentation procedure in cosmetics nowadays.

Hyaluronic acid fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers(Restylane and Juvederm)  will immediately plump skin and raise and smooth depressed areas after the injections. However, they do not last long and will need to be injected every few months to maintain results depending on the type of hyaluronic acid fillers you use.

Autologous fat transfer

This procedure involves removing the fat from another area of your body after the liposuction, harvesting, and injecting it into the acne scars on your face. After the fat transfer, about 50% will stay in the area and provide permanent results.

Notes on Recovery

After dermal filler injections, you will return to regular activity almost instantly. Still, a wait time of 24-48 hours is recommended to resume vigorous physical exercise.

Perfect Candidate

An ideal candidate is over 18 years of age. In addition, the candidate should have visible depressed scarring caused by acne who prefers a minimally invasive approach.

Compared to lasers, fillers are acceptable for all skin types and colors but not for any form of a scar. The most fruitful therapy is often on new spots that have been there the longest.

Not Recommended For

For patients with active acne breakouts, dermal fillers for acne care are not recommended.

Adverse Effects

Side effects may include injection site redness, swelling, and bruising. The filler can also show up as tiny bumps under the skin.

Most of the dermal filler one syringe cost between $650-1200 range. Sometimes you may need more than one syringe to treat the affected area. ShineMD VIP members save 10-20% off the retail product with the ShineMD VIP Membership program.

Long-term & short-term benefits of acne scar dermal fillers

Among the advantages of facial fillers are:

  • Lifting the scars to the surface of the skin makes for a smoother skin surface.
  • To reduce the apparentness of the scars over time, break up the scar tissue.
  • Boosting the development of collagen for contoured, younger skin
  • Almost immediate outcomes and restricted downtime after the treatment
  • Effects last from a period of several months to a year.
