For many people acne is a chapter of their life, from a short to long period that once treated, still leaves behind the signs that it was once there with it’s scarring. It doesn’t make it any more pleasant, but at least once the acne has gone, we just have the scars to deal with. The scars are just an inevitable part of the skin process and is prevalent with zits and normal hormonal spots. Often over time, they will go away themselves by fading away, but if you’re looking for an alternative solution then you’re in luck!
Thanks to fillers, acne scars can be erased.
Smooth, youthful looking skin is possible after acne scars! The plus side is that dermal fillers can treat your acne scars but also add volume to your wrinkles, making your appearance shine even more.
How Do Practitioners Use Fillers To Erase Acne Scars?
How it’s exactly done is by using an extremely thin needle attached to the syringe carrying the filler gel. Once it enters the skin, it adds volume and raises the scarring making it completely level with the rest of the skin on the face. Magic!
Old acne scar tissue is broken down and carried away by your body whilst new fresh collagen is regenerated by the filler itself, boosting skin into a self-repairing system. Think of it like the reset button being pressed on your skin’s repair and ageing mechanism.
Skin looks healthy and smoothed out again.
Depending on the intensity of scar tissue, treatment can last up to an hour and there may be top up treatments that may need to follow in the early months. Your practitioner should advise you.
The best thing about dermal fillers are that results are usually instantaneous, considering that you may need further treatments to complete plump up the depression of the skin in the scar. You will find that many acne patients who have scarring revert to fillers after researching about them online, as being the most cost-effective solution too. They don’t cost the earth compared to other treatments to completely rid scars.
Fillers can last between 12-24 months, depending on your lifestyle factors and metabolic rates. If you exercise a lot, you will find the active ingredient, Hyaluronic Acid is broken down faster. However, in that time your body is still being boosted to produce collagen the scaffolding for your skin surface. In fact, by the time your filler may have worn off, acne scarring will already be visibly faded and reduced, so you can make the next decision of whether you receive top up treatment to hide it completely again.
