I have an indented scar from a popped pimple that's about a month old. is it possible to get a dermal filler while the healing process is taking place?

Wait: Your body is more miraculous than any doctor or filler for restoring things to normal. If it has only been around a month since the popped pimple/infection, you may not need any treatment other than time and good skin hygiene and sunblock. There is also a concern about having a filler get infected if there are any bacteria remaining in the area. There are many alternatives to fillers as well.
