Pros Temporarily plumps up the scar, making your skin look even for about a week,
Inexpensive
Cons Made my scars worse
Bottom line I've been doing a combination of microdermabrasion, needling, and copper-peptide treatments for my scarring, which was slowly but surely helping. I tried the saline injections on myself and it really seemed to work at first, but after three or four treatments, it almost looked like the area in the scar wasn't filling up and almost looked like it stretched out the skin. So now my scars looked worse than before I started this treatment.

Pros I actually learned to inject myself with saline and it works wonders, I pay 3.00 for a bag of 30mm needles and 5.00 on saline
Cons Results only last a few days
Bottom line It is very easy for me to do. No pain involved <for me at least> I usually do the injections the night before a party or big event and by the next day my skin looks flawless!

Pros Quick and relatively painless, no downtime, very effective on shallow pitted scars
Cons Not really my definition of "cheap"
Bottom line Saline worked much better than I expected or could have hoped for. The pitted scars are about 85% better. I just finished treatment (it took me 9 treatments) and I would recommend this for anyone with shallow acne scarring. You can barely see any depressions, even under intense light.

Pros Cheap, effective and easy... Have one (now) extremely shallow rolling scar that has greatly improved. About 90% filled in now with 5 treatments. 4 months since last treatment. 75.00 per treatment.
Cons Injection site can be red for a while (10 days max in my experience) required 5 injections 2 weeks apart. Only performed in Southern California
Bottom line Incredible treatment. Only Dr. Sire in Fullerton does the procedure. Am able to look in the mirror without obsessing or cringing!!! A life saver- truly. Saw results after 3rd treatment. Since I only have one scar he charged me only for the small area he treated. Otherwise full face treatment is 150.00 or so. Awesome facility.. awesome people.

Pros Very little down time, more affordable than most other treatments. Best of all is that it works if you have shallow scars to begin with.
Bottom line Give it at least 6 treatments. It really works well with more shallow scars. I'm so happy with my result. I only wish that I tried this route sooner, instead of wasting time and money on other stuff. Dr. Sire is a honest doctor, he doesn't push anything that won't work on you.
