Everyone has heard of silicone breast implants. But few know that silicone is especially effective in the treatment of acne scarring. Medical grade pure silicone (Silikon 1000) is FDA approved to treat retinal detachment in the eye. Dermatologists have successfully used it off-label for years as a permanent cosmetic filler.
The key is in the technique of how the Silikon 1000 is injected. Tiny amounts of Silikon 1000 are injected as microdroplets into skin, and the treatments are spread out over multiple sessions. The droplets induce collagen to be synthesized around them, which fills in the scar and results in smoother skin.
When injected this way, the treatment is very safe, and can produce beautiful, natural results. However, every filler has risks, and since silicone is permanent, it's especially important to have a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic experience perform the injections.
