Can radiesse (dermal fillers) improve deep acne scars? i have deep acne scars on my cheeks. i don't really need filler in my cheeks, but i wouldn't mind them being a little plumper. what i'd really like is if it would make my scars less noticeable.

Radiesse (dermal fillers) : Radiesse (dermal fillers) may not be the best filler for your acne scars. Since the material is calcium based, it maybe too hard for your cheeks. I will suggest to use prevelle or juvederm ultra xc, they are hyaluroic acid base injectable, they are much softer than radiesse; they should give you a better result. In addition, not all acne scars are the same and you should differentiate between dermal (skin) and sub dermal (under the skin) components. The treatment options are quite different between the two types of acne scar. If you are not sure please spend the time to consult with a plastic surgeon so you get the appropriate treatment. Good luck!

I : I agree with dr. Grossman that Radiesse (dermal fillers) should not be injected close to the surface of the skin. Fillers can help with scars but you need a product that is approved to be injected where it can actually help improve the smaller contour changes.

Radiesse (dermal fillers) : Radiesse is a good filler for increasing the size and fullness of the face. It is a stiff substance that can be felt through the skin so it should be injected into the deeper tissues. Injection of acne scars is done with softer fillers like juvederm or restylane (dermal fillers). Best wishes dr. Peterson.

Radiesse (dermal fillers) : Radiesse (dermal fillers) should not be used for acne scars, it is meant to be injected deeper under the skin. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.
