Hyaluronic acid fillers for pitted acne 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.)

Hyaluronic acid fillers for pitted acne scars?

Postby Mysteryagain » Wed Jun 11, 2008 12:01 pm

I know HA fillers are temporary... but do they work for not too deep, ice-pick/scarred pores/small indented scars?? I have read different opinions, some docs say it does not even help in the short run because the filler gets "out" or that people can get a "doughnut" around the scar.

What is your personal opinion? If well done, can HA fillers fill in depressed scars?

Would PMMA products be better for it or the risk of leaving lumps and not covering the small scars is too big?

1. HA works only well for shallow rolls and holes but not great for tethered ice picks (in most cases).
2. if you want to know my feeling about PMMA, please watch my video, "Why I don't use Artefill" in my vlog section.
