Many of you suffering with acne and acne scars know the importance of being in good lighting. Bright and unflattering directional fluorescent lighting casts terrible shadows on the face, drawing attention to scars, etc. and is much less flattering than the traditional incandescent lightbulbs. Now the US and Europe are banning the low-wattage incandescent bulbs in order to jumpstart the fluorescent light industry. The supposed environmental benefits of the fluorescent lights are questionable, and the fluorescent lightbulbs may actually prove more harmful to the envinronment in the end. Take a look at this video... let's write our congressmen/elected representatives and try to put a stop to this:

Recently I had a few rounds of silicone microdroplets to treat depressed acne scars in various places on my face. It definitely improved the appearance of the scars and I am happy about that.
However, in one area underneath my eye where the silicone was used to treat the depressed acne scar, I now constantly feel the silicone underneath my left eye to the point where it is a nuisance. I always feel a substance (the silicone filler) under my eye. Is it at all possible to perhaps move that silicone down 1cm by pressing it down? I understand it is permanent, but can it be reduced in any way, or are there any options you can think of to lessen the feel of the filler under the eye?

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Need a doctor in southern California who has extensive experience with silicone microdroplet injections for treating acne scars.

I am considering silicone micro-droplets to treat my rolling acne scars, because I have been inspired by some peoples' success with this procedure. I am concerned however, because I've had juvederm and restylane in the past to try and fill in the scars but had little success because the filler seemed to settle around many of the scars in a donut effect. Although a few scars did get filled in nicely with these temporary fillers, most scars look a little more pronounced after the fillers, possibly because these scars were tethered down and the filler settled around the scars. Also, I just want to point out that the temporary fillers were injected by a very competent doctor. Is the donuting effect a risk with the silicone micro-droplet technique? Has anyone experienced the donut effect with silicone micro-droplets or have any of you heard of anyone else who
has experienced this? If many of my scars are tethered down and if I did not receive good results with juvederm and restylane should I expect that I would get bad results with silicone micro-droplets? Note: I had subscision performed on several of my scars before the fillers were injected so that seemed to make little difference. I've been told so many different things, I have been told that silicone would work exactly like restylane , or that it will work better than restylane, or that it wouldn't move or could move so I just want to know what others on this board have heard or experienced.

I am considering silicone micro-droplet injections for acne scars....

Does anyone know of any experienced dermatologists who perform microdroplet silicone injections for acne scars in Florida that they can recommend?

Thanks for any information you can provide.
