Dermal Fillers
Medical experts utilize fillers to hide acne scars and even out the skin. Collagen, a human’s own fat, or a synthetic filler can all be used to create the fillers. They’re injected beneath the skin’s surface to fill up smooth scars. While some fillers last forever, most require redoing within 6 to 18 months.
Dermatologists may advise using soft tissue fillers to repair atrophic acne scars. They could be especially beneficial for boxcars and rolling scars.
Some options for derma fillers include silicon, poly-L-lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, polymethylmethacrylate, collagen-based products, and polyacrylamide. Depending on the filler, the procedure might need to be repeated after a few months. For instance, hyaluronic fillers last around three months, whereas silicon and polyacrylamide might not need to be replaced.
To repair the skin tissue, ease the scar, and lessen itching, facial fillers are frequently performed with laser therapy. However, they will vary according to the filler. In addition, fillers can have negative consequences, so, always discuss the advantages and disadvantages with a dermatologist.
