Background:
This article addresses the use of liquid injectable silicone as both an immediate and long-lasting treatment for broad-based, depressed acne scars. The only filler substance that maintains precision and permanence in improving and/or correcting these types of acne scar defects is medical-grade liquid silicone.
Objective:
We describe five patients with a history of acne scarring who showed improvements from injections of liquid silicone at the initial treatment session and lasting over a 10-, 15-, and 30-year follow-up period.
Methods:
Monthly liquid silicone injections using a technique known as the microdroplet, multiple-injection approach.
Results:
This article documents the safety, effectiveness, and precision of silicone in addition to highlighting the fact that its permanence is what distinguishes it from other filler materials.
Conclusion:
As a precise and permanent filling substance used for soft tissue augmentation, liquid injectable silicone can improve and/or eliminate depressed, broad-based acne scars through a technique known as the microdroplet, multiple-injection
