What Kind Of Treatments Are Available?
Acne scars can be removed in two ways with Bellafill. In the first step, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is suspended in collagen gel. Over time, the gel will break down, causing your own collagen to form a foundation that will fill in acne scars. As a bonus, it smooths out wrinkles as well! With Bellafill, your skin is restored rather than refilled. Clinical trials have shown that 90% of patients are satisfied with results 12 months after treatment.
Bellafill® can be used alone or in combination with other treatments for acne scarring. Depending on the severity of your scarring, the experienced team at The Med Spa Of North Texas may suggest VirtueRF Microneedling w/ Radio Frequency 3 months following your Bellafill Treatments. Virtue RF Microneedling treatments can be used to touch up deep, resistant scarring that previously was difficult to treat.
Bellafill is one of the best treatments for acne scarring. Acne scarring often causes a loss of volume, which is easily replaced by injecting a Dermal Filler, Bellafill. The purpose of the injections is to lift the scarred area that has been depressed. Laser resurfacing and chemical peels are also effective as a single treatment or as an add-on treatment for acne scarring.
Prior to your Bellafill® treatment, The Med Spa Of North Texas recommends a skin allergy test, as some patients may have a reaction to the lidocaine or bovine collagen in the product. The skin test will be administered at the time of the initial consultation. After treatment, it is common for Patient’s to have temporary swelling, redness, pain, bruising, lumps/bumps, itching, and discoloration at the treatment site. These side effects typically resolve within 3 to 7 days.

- Avoid touching your acne
- Abstain from picking, popping, scratching, or squeezing your acne

Can acne scars fade on their own?
Reddish or brownish acne marks left behind by acne lesions usually fade eventually, but it can take a year or longer.

The initial severity of the acne plays a crucial role, alongside other factors such as your age, skin type, skin tone, and overall complexion, which all contribute to the healing timeline. Mild or moderate scarring may also fade over time, but in general, unless acne scars are treated, especially severe scarring, these marks will be permanent.
