Saline Injections

What it is: Dr. Sire pioneered the use of saline injections to treat acne and other scars.

Saline injections are most effective on shallow atrophic 'rolling type' scars; they are less effective on deep 'ice pick' type scars or 'boxcar' scars, which may require surgical removal.

During the procedure, saline is injected into the scar which causes new collogen to form. Four to five sessions--each a couple weeks apart--are usually required for best results.

Recovery: There are minimal side effects and recovery is quick.
