Silicone Injections for acne scars

I had depressed acne scar in my right cheek and my doctor have successfully used Liquid Silicone Injections to eliminate this scar. Micro-droplets of liquid silicone are injected into the scar and, like collagen, the improvement is immediate.
You have to get 3-4 treatments of liquis silicone; the silicone microdroplet induced collagen production is what leads to the filling or enlargement of scars or depressions. For this reason, it is essential to wait several weeks between each injection session since it is hard to predict the exact amount of collagen formation that will take place.It is a relative painless procedure, similar to injections of collagen.
Microdroplet liquid silicone injections build soft-tissue by encouraging the production of new collagen, the skin’s natural structural protein. Silicone injections are used primarily to fill depressions such as wrinkles and certain acne and chicken pox scars.
The procedure is relative simply. The doctor marks the scars or areas to be filled. Then a numbing solution is applied. You wait about 20 minutes and then the doctor does the injections. You'll have a little redness for few days easily covered with makeup.
