Augmentation is a unique method among acne scar treatments. Material (mostly collagen) is injected under the scar, which causes the scar to float up to the surface of the skin. Sometimes, one’s own fat is used as the injecting material. This method does not cause any swelling that might require time to recover. Augmentation of soft tissue is expected to become a more permanent acne scar treatment in the future.
Soft tissue augmentation means filling the defect in the dermis through infiltration of certain substances known as fillers. This will correct atrophic scars. Previously collagen or fat from other parts of body was injected beneath the scar to raise the skin to the surface level. Nowadays many artificial types of fillers are available. Collagen injections are temporary, and last about 6 months.
There are many types of injectables used for augmentation. Unfortunately, most of the injectables widely available are not considered permanent. In addition, some are not available in all countries. Here is a list of some of them to get you started in your research:
Different types of fillers used in skin augmentation:
- Isolagen
