Can you tell me about success with dermal fillers for acne scaring?

Acne scar fillers: Fillers such as juvederm work best on scars that are shallow and broader as opposed to deeper and shorter. See your dermatologist for all treatment options.

Filler for Acne Scar: If the scar is soft and not too fibrotic or tethered then it may work. Managing acne scars may require multimodality treatment - excision, subcision, fillers, laser resurfacing. It all depends upon the severity and number of scars. We use the fraxel (probably more than any other treatment) with good results in most cases. Seek a plastic surgeon certified by the abps. Best wishes.

For Soft Scars: Dermal fillers are pretty soft, so they work best for soft scars with shallow depressions. Deep "ice-pick" scars respond better to surgery. There are many ways to treat acne scars, and none of them are perfect. Work with an experienced provider to explore which options will work best for you.
