Can Botox diminish the appearance of acne scars?

Botox has limited applications when it comes to treating acne scars. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Botox Doesn’t Fill Scars: Botox is primarily for dynamic wrinkles, not indented or pitted acne scars.
  • Temporary Smoothing: Botox can temporarily soften the appearance of some shallow scars by relaxing the surrounding skin tension. This effect is subtle and wears off as the Botox does.
  • Best Results with Combination Therapies: For significant improvement in acne scars, procedures like the following are often more effective:
    • Dermal Fillers: To fill in depressions.
    • Lasers or Microneedling: To stimulate collagen and remodel the skin.

AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills offers a comprehensive approach to acne scar treatment, tailoring your plan for the best outcome.
