I recently told you about Perlane, the newly FDA-approved injectable.  Like other injectables– it is used to smooth and plump the lines in our skin to make us look much younger.  But like Botox, Perlane is used for things other than anti-aging.  Recently the product has been used to treat acne scars.  Unlike other fillers, Perlane is composed of larger particles that are injected deeper into the dermis – this gives it the ability to raise pitted or depressed acne scars.  “With pits, what looks tethered down into the skin can first be released with subcision (a minor procedure that uses a needle or very fine scalpel to release the fibers tethering the skin) and then filled at the same time with Perlane” (NewBeauty.com).  Though it is not a permanent fix, this hyaluronic-acid filler tends to last longer than other fillers— roughly 9 to 12 months.
