How do you fill deep scars on your face? Our Newtown, PA-based The Well Lounge team knows that scars can be a frustrating cosmetic concern for many people, especially when they are in highly visible areas. Happily, there many treatments available to reduce the appearance of scars, including hyaluronic acid and biostimulatory facial fillers.
Here are some of the ways these injectables can help to reduce scars.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers for Scars
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found in the body and is responsible for keeping skin hydrated and plump. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvéderm®, are commonly used in cosmetic treatments to restore volume and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. However, hyaluronic acid fillers can also be an effective treatment for scars.
When hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the skin around a scar, they can help to improve the appearance of the scar by filling in the depressed or sunken areas. This can help to smooth out the skin and reduce the visibility of the scar.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are a temporary solution, and the effects typically last for several months—or even years—before additional injections are needed. They provide natural-looking effects that can help to improve the appearance of scars without looking overdone or artificial.
Biostimulatory Facial Fillers for Scars
Biostimulatory facial fillers, such as Sculptra®, are another type of injectable filler that can be used to improve the appearance of scars. Biostimulatory fillers work differently from hyaluronic acid fillers in that they stimulate the body’s natural collagen production processes.
Collagen is a protein that is essential for healthy skin, and as we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin.
These fillers can help to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, which can improve the appearance of scars by filling in depressed areas and improving skin texture. These injections provide longer-lasting results than hyaluronic acid fillers, with effects that can last up to two years or more.
Like hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulatory fillers are a non-surgical treatment that can be administered in our office.
