Totally right about developing bumps. I got a bump(about less than 1cm...) from the treatment and it's very close to my mouth. My doctor and I compared before and after pictures together at his office, and he confirmed that I didn't have the bump before the treatment. I got it when I got my very first treatment. My doctor told me to keep rolling with Q-tip and massaging it but I still have it...
Looks really bad in some lighting... ![]()

Not only acne scars, I have to hide the bump using filler now and cost too much...
I've been having multiple Juvederm filler treatments with light subcision for acne scars since last summer. I chose my doctor, because he was the only one didn't offer me laser treatments(I used to against laser treatments...), He also seemed like a genuine nice doctor, and listen to my concerns.
I use Juvederm, because it supposes to last 6 months according to my doctor, but my filler effect usually goes away less than 2 months(some of them less than a month). All my scars are very shallow. My last treatment was January this year(before this treatment was late December...
!), and most of fillers already went away... ![]()
Also filler treatments are unpredictable...My doctor sometimes dose a decent to great job, but sometimes he does a bad job. A few times, I ended up looking like I got many bug bites on my face and lumps every where...Sometimes, some fillers go away less than a week...Sometimes he injects fillers to slightly wrong places, but my skin is usually swelling right after the treatment, so I can't tell his mistakes until those swelling go down(takes 3 days to 1 week). I usually have to go back to doctor's office to get touch-up within 2 weeks because of these reason, but it sucks because the doctor's office is far from my home, and every time I have filler treatment, I get bruises.
Also, fillers may fill scars temporary, but they don't improve the texture of skin, so you still feel insecure if you have texture issue. My improvement with filler/light subcision is 10-40%.
Overall, It's very pricy, unpredictable, and requires high maintance...I am not sure it's worth the money...! Good luck OP!

I've had Prevelle Silk injected in a huge indentation that was left over from a cyst that my derm injected with cortisone. It lasted 3 days.
Had Restylane injected after that with a Botox needle. Stayed plumped for about a year. I went here recently and had a whole tube of Restylane injected into various indented scars and in the lines from my nose to mouth and mouth to chin. I'm not satisified with the results as I was when my derm injected it into the huge scar. It's a neverending effing deal and I'm quite frustrated.
