I just can not find a good doctor Artecoll on my acne scars. There is an experienced doctor in Mexico, which for some unknown reason, will not return to me. It seems that, for now, I have to look at other options.
I would like to hear from people who have had Collagen fillers for acne scars (ice pick, pock, etc). I have shallow scars on both my forehead and cheeks.
Does Does anyone know a good doctor in the U.S. Im in New Jersey. Also, how much do you think full face injections would cost?

Reply:i would get a thermage done.it heats the collegen beneath the skin and builds up to fill in the depressed area.its basicly used for tightning the skin but has been approved for acne and acne scars.it is suppose to shrink ur oil glands.i had one done full face for 1350 dollars at''all about faces'' in harrisburg,pa.it will take a few months before u notice anything but after over 3 months my skin is smoothing out.

Reply:collegen and fat transfers r temp fillers that r usually asorbed back into the body.botox is also temp filler.hyaluronic acid is a new filler i dont know much about.so is silikon 1000.dont ever go to a fly by night operation that work out of the back of their car that injects silicon in ur face.they may ruin ur face and u will have to spend thousands getting that silicon out of ur face.
