OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox)
Botox is a popular treatment for smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines on the face. But, it also works well in removing acne scars. It eases tension in the afflicted area, lessening stress on the scar tissue and lessening the scars’ visibility. To fill in the scars and enhance the skin’s look, Botox is frequently used in conjunction with fillers.
Contrary to hyperpigmentation or areas of discoloration, acne scarring permanently changes the skin’s texture, leaving dent-like imperfections where the spots once were. Botox may be useful for those struggling with these persistent acne scars.
Despite being simple, safe, and affordable, the treatment must be done regularly every three to six months. Botox temporarily relaxes the contracted facial muscles and eases the pressure on the wound. As a result, it minimizes the visibility of scars.
One typical possibility is that the scar may still be noticeable due to the loss of collagen, a protein that lessens wrinkles and increases skin moisture. Doctors provide dermal fillers composed of collagen or hyaluronic acid to cover the scars to treat this problem completely.
