Doctor in California (silicone injections)

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

Doctor in California (silicone injections)

Postby cgriffeth » Thu Mar 04, 2010 6:25 pm

You seem incredibly competent and involved with your patients. Thanks for the forum and videos/pics. It pains me to ask, but since I lack the financial means to visit you, is there a doctor you would recommend in Los Angeles or California that can perform silicone injections on rolling acne scars?

As a side note: Consider 10, 20, 30, 40 years of aging after micro silicone for acne scars; doesn't skin get lax and saggy and lose collagen? So how does that affect the silicone?

sorry, i personally do not know someone that i can recommend you to. putting small amounts of silicone should not affect things. there is a 30 year retrospective study on acne scars with silicone that i read that shows that things hold up well over time.
best,
