Fillers can help: Perlane is a hyaluronic acid filler that is meant to be used for adding volume deep to the skin. There are other ha fillers that work well for correction of acne scars- restylane, (dermal fillers) juvéderm ultra and belotero work better for superficial treatments. Some acne scars respond beautifully to these fillers. Deep pitting is usually best treated by your doctor with a punch graft.

Acne scars: Using a filler to correct acne scarring is an off label use. Nonetheless, it can be effective. Have your face evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
