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.)
Hello Dr. Lam. I know it is different for every patient, but on avg. how much cc of silicone do you inject for your patients to treat their acne scars per session? thank you.
i would say between 0.4 to 1.1 cc spread in hundreds of microdroplets across the face.
best,
sml
