Hi I recently moved to Minnesota from Chicago and am looking for recommendations for doctor to treat rolling acne scars on the side of my mouth. I have had two courses of bellafill and do light peels/microdermabrasion inthe past. The issue isthey are tethered, so lasertreatment is not what Im looking for at this point. I am having a difficult time finding a doctor who specializes in bellafill specifically for acne scar treatment. It seems most doctors Ive consulted with have little to no experience using bellafill for scar treatment and want to recommend lasers as a course of treatment.I am alsointerested in microbeedling or other options to helpthe tethered/texture issue. Any suggestions would be super helpful. Thank you!

@Aalyg6Hi there I don't know anyone in Minnesota. The list of Drs is located in the FAQ. You can always call a college where they teach dermatology and see if they do subcision, or call around the derm offices.

We never recommend bellafill first as it's permanent and can lead to permanent problems, especially very close to the mouth. I would try a HA filler first and see how you like it (found naturally also in the body).

I can give you a better recommendation if you post a closeup picture of your scarring, scars make shadows (flashlight).

I™ve had two courses of bellafill and have had good success so far. Just looking for a skilled doctor in Minnesota that can treat me. Thank you for your help!

@beautifulambition I am open to suggestions though if have them. My scarring is moderate and a small area but I am very self conscious as it is next to my mouth. This is the area. The texture is my issue. 997E14A0-2838-487D-8EA1-D95649EC0BEB.thumb.jpeg.f6554286ec973d487a3869588ab88dcf.jpeg

@Aalyg6Can you take a picture for me where your scar's make shadows. Using a flashlight. This is easier to give advice on as your skin looks in very good condition in the picture.

It seems you have slight textural scars. A few TCA peels would help soften this. We have a guide in the FAQ under TCA Peels and a mega-link.
You might need cannular subcision throughout the cheek but I cannot tell from the picture provided currently.

FYI...I do not know any Drs in Minnesota as it's very hard to find scar specialists nationwide, if not worldwide. Perhaps call around using the tips I mentioned above or someone else can chime in.
