treatyourscars Juvederm
Juvederm is an FDA-approved temporary hyaluronic acid-based skin filler for the treatment of wrinkles and wrinkles on the face. Juvederm fillers are made with varying concentrations of hyaluonic acid, which is also used as a skin care product and binder. Some fillers used on the label relate to the plumping of contoured areas of the face (e.g.
Injectable Skin Fillers
Injectable skin fillers, also known as “lunch time facelifts,” require only a limited amount of time for treatment and recovery. Side effects can range from mild redness and itching after the injection to more severe discomfort requiring treatment of the inflamed nodules on the skin. The final results of your Bellafill treatment will be visible in 3-5 months.
The amount of filler used depends on the area of treatment and your personal goals. Depending on the size and depth of the acne scar or wrinkle to be treated, multiple injections may be needed, bringing the average cost to around $2,500 per treatment session.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are popular for their ability to rejuvenate the skin, restore lost volume and to treat signs of aging. Dermal fillers can help improve the appearance of depressed acne scars for those who want to smooth out lines and wrinkles. Some popular skin fillers and brands that correct acne scars are Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm and Radiesse.
BellaFill
Bellafill helps patients suffering from a certain type of acne scar to replace lost collagen and create a smoother skin surface3. For acne scars, we use Bellafill (r), the only long-term filler that is FDA-approved treatment for bloated acne scars. The criteria for Bellafill treatment are differentiated and depend on the actual structure of your scar. Therefore, a consultation with one of our doctors or an injector is recommended to determine whether your scar would benefit from a Bellafill injection.
Dr. Haley has stated that patients tend to achieve the best results when they use clumsiness to remove rolling acne scars. Clinical studies have confirmed that Bellafills are effective in the treatment of wrinkles and scars. Bellafill is said to reduce the appearance of smiles and can be injected daily to maintain the area smoother and younger for up to five years.
Bellafill is an improved version of ArteColl that has been used in more than 400,000 patients in Europe and Canada over the past 10 years. Bellafill is used to treat facial acne scars and works for up to a year, and most patients see immediate results after one treatment.
Bellafill (r) is a long-lasting injectable filler used to smooth smiles, nasolabial wrinkles and fill acne scars. It contains a combination of acrylic microspheres, natural collagen and lidocaine. Bellafill is made from collagen from cows in combination with small polymethylmethacrylate beads (PMMA).
According to the FDA, the collagen obtained from cows provides an immediate volume tightening to correct wrinkles and acne scars, while the small polymethylmethacrylate beads (PMMA) remain in place to form a base which supports the skin structurally.
As a submicroscopic PMMA sphere suspended in bovine collagen, PMMA induces rapid natural collagen production in the body and forms a dense matrix around it. PMMA are inert, meaning they remain in place and form a framework for natural collagen production over a longer period of time Unlike other fillers which are absorbed within 6-12 months, PMMA remain in place and can last for longer than five years for the rejuvenation treatments and up to a year for acne scars.
Bellafill is not only used on the lips, but also for the treatment of deep lines and scars. Dermal fillers injected into scars support the scar and prevent what happens when wrinkles are etched in addition to the scars.
Dermal fillers can correct wrinkles and fine lines like smiles and masks, give volume to thin lips and cheeks, treat depressive scars, highlight flat skin areas and define facial contours around cheekbones and jaws. Permanent fillers are not suitable for the surface depth of the skin. We cannot use various types of dermal fillers to name scars as Australian regulations make it difficult to talk about how they are compared and what are their advantages and cons.
Juvederm and other skin fillers can also be used for facial contouring in facial areas that suffer a large volume loss as a result of acne scars. Treatment of acne scars is a complex process, and a combination of different modalities can be used to get the best cosmetic results. The results are visible and can last for several months to two years.
There are many acne scar filler treatments available for acne scars that can soften and improve the appearance of scars. Correction can be achieved by concave laser treatments such as Fraxel, Ematrix, Vbeam Laser and CO2 Laser, which help improve the overall texture of the skin by stimulating new collagen production. These treatments induce the formation of collagen, which in the long term can help to reduce scarring.
There are other acne scar treatments that work better than skin fillers. A dermal filler is a hyaluronic acid filler injection used to roll atrophic scars. Atrophic scars are those with depression on the skin, and skin fillers are injected into these scars to lift them, smooth the skin surface and make the obvious signs of scarring and depression disappear.
Adapting lasers with good reason remains the forefront of the equation as the landscape of treating acne scars continues to evolve and grow — the idea of lasers might make you think of Dexter Labs. They can help to reduce the appearance of scars and improve the texture of the skin. However, there is something frightening about the idea of getting a laser treatment when the skin is a concern.
Your unique approach to treating acne scars combines the best treatment modalities to produce the largest improvement in your acne scars. If you come to us for your depressive or bloated acne scars, we will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the most effective treatment for you. However, if you suffer from a widespread depressive acne scar, we recommend microneedling.
