Q.
Hello Dr Thorne,
I have acne scars mainly on my cheeks, they are quite bumpy and you can feel how uneven the skin is when you touch it. Over the years the scars have improved but i am still very aware of them without make-up on. Do you recommend dermal fillers for this kind of problem to recreate the volume? I would just like to have even cheeks and no pitted areas really.If fillers are not the solution is there any other treatment that you would recommend? Many thanks for your time.

Hi there, difficult to give you a definitive recommendation without seeing you, it also depends if there is any hypo-(light) or hyper- (dark) pigmentation of the scars, however

– dermal fillers can generally be used to ‘plump up’ the acne scars, though will require regular treatment
– if there is any keloid scarring (due to over-aggresive healing) these usually need a steroid injection
– if they are small cysts this can be removed by ACP electrolysis
– if there is small pitting then a Dermaroller can treat this successfully
Good luck
