| Pros: | A little smoother, Permanent |
| Cons: | not perfect |
| Bottom Line: | I did silicone, (microdroplet technique with medical grade silicone) in some deeper scars. It takes several treatments to get closer to the desired effect because it is permanent, so they don't want to over fill. The injected silicone causes collagen to grow around it, so it takes about a month before you can see the results.
I've done it twice now, basically no downtime, there was a little swelling for about a week. My most recent treatment was 3 months ago. No drawbacks so far.
I highly suggest it if you can find a competent dr, but there is more risk with silicone cause it's permanent [link removed] |

| Pros: | It lifted my depressed acne scars. |
| Cons: | It really hurt especially on the cheek areas. It also created these bumps. I'm waiting for these bumps to go away. |
| Bottom Line: | It looks great! My skin feels much more smooth and even. I love it, only I wish without the bumps. Let me see what happens. |

| Bottom Line: | I just got restylane today for depressed scars on my face due to acne. I have had the scars for 10 years and finally today a dermatologist reccomended restylane. I could see immediate improvement, it didn't hurt too much, about teh same as popping a pimple, which is how I got these scars in the first place! The cost was $332 and the doctor is saving the leftover for a week to see if he can put any more in. If this lasts, I say it is worth every penny! |

| Pros: | NONE FOR ME |
| Cons: | EVERYTHING |
| Bottom Line: | Do not EVER let a physician talk you into treating line scars with NO depression with Restylane. If you have a scar with a straight line, applying Restylane will only bring the scar to the surface and make it much more pronounce.
I had Restylane applied to my facial scar last week, and it made it look 5 times worse.
The laws of physics are applies here: Every reaction has an opposite reaction. The process may work well if you have indentation, but for scars with no indentation, it will only raise your scar. |

| Pros: | I haf aquamid done in the UK over two years ago to fill out acne scarring. The material is still in my skin and knock on wood I haven't had any problems. |
| Cons: | I have very light bruising to this day in certain injection points which I believe is due to the fact that I have had two CO2 laser surgeries prior to the injections. |
| Bottom Line: | For under $850 a syringe for permanent improvment in scars this is the only thing that really worked for me. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Bottom Line: | I had Restylene injected into my top lip nearley 6 months ago. I had also had Aquamid (perm. filler) in the top lip 2 years ago. Within 24 hours my top lip had swollen to the point of causing agonising pain. Then masses of puss. This is apparently a clash of chemicals. I have been on siprofloxacin (anti biotics) for 6 months and apparently have to wait for the restylene to wear off before I can stop taking them. If I am not on anitbiotics at least 3 different areas of my top lip swell and leak puss. I have never known anything as awfull as this in my life! Please do not ever use any permanent with non permanent fillers. I may still have to have the Aquamid removed some how. Someone needs to document what happened to me! |
