Dermal fillers are one of the better treatment options for depressed or pitted acne scars. During treatment, a filler substance is injected into the acne scar. The depressed area of the scar "plumps" up, and the skin becomes more even.
It's a great treatment option. The downside: the results are only temporary. The treatment must be repeated to keep scarring at bay.
Research, made possible by a private grant, has been done to test a more permanent solution. Artefill, a permanent dermal filled approved by the FDA to improve those "smile" lines, was used in a small study to treat atrophic acne scars.
The results, which were presented at the 2010 Orlando Dermatology Conference earlier this week, seem promising. Maybe soon those with acne scars will have a more permanent dermal filler solution.

Hi Everyone, I saw the iPhone Acne Cure advertised on Fox News and I purchased it. I also saw it in the iPhone Apps store. I have to say (by the way it’s cheaper at http://iFace.us/Acne and there is a newer and much more sophisticated version of it there). It also works on other phones, not just the iPhone, so if anyone has acne issues, but don’t have the iPhone, that does not matter because they claim that the iFace Acne Cure works on all Internet Capable Phones. I truly love it. Please don’t think I’m affiliated at all, I’m just super excited about this product.
Nice acne scar tip! I’ve tried it before in the past and it does help keep acne scars at bay with constant use.
