Will Silicone injection work for my scars

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.)

Will Silicone injection work for my scars

Postby didi » Sun Aug 22, 2010 10:35 pm

Hi Dr. Lam
I have already did four sessions of laser 1540 palomar but it didnt help my scarces that much. I wanted to know if preheps silicone will do the work for my scare at the top and on the buttom. and if not what do you suggest.
Thank you for you time!

hi,
it is hard for me to tell 100%. however, i would say silicone with 1 or 2 efforts would improve it but not make it as good as i would like. you may need 1 or 2 rounds of CROSS acid to finish the job. as you probably know any method never leads to a perfect result but i am confident that i should improve the situation better than your laser. if i am right with what i see, i would do a silicone treatment, wait about 3 months to see if collagen is improving it further over that time, then make a decision whether to go to another silicone or go to a CROSS or call it. hope that helps.
best,
sml

Thanks for the quick reply!
do you have an office in LA? or do you have any colleague in LA that have an experience with those treatments (silicone and cross acid)

Thanks!

unfortunately, what i do is pretty unique. i do not have anyone in LA that does exactly what i do. about 80% of my silicone and CROSS fly in for my work. you can fly in and out the same day. if you are interested, just call 888-866-3388.
best,
