Dr Tapan Patel Dermal Fillers For Acne Scars

Acne is a skin condition that affects many people says Dr Tapan Patel. One of the common complications that occurs with acne is scarring left behind once the acne has cleared up. This can either be the presence of indentations in the skin or raised, highly coloured imperfections depending on the nature of the scarring. When the facial skin has a lot of these imperfections, it can cause much distress and embarrassment.

Dermal fillers are used in many aesthetic treatments where there has been a loss of volume, particularly the treatment of thin lips or sunken cheeks. However, they are also really useful in the treatment of indentations in the skin caused by acne scarring. Dermal fillers can improve the appearance of these skin problems by making the surface of the skin appear smoother and more firm.

Dr Tapan's  facts to know about dermal fillers

There are many different varieties of dermal fillers available on the market and it's important to do your research. Some practitioners offer permanent dermal fillers but Dr Tapan Patel's advice is to avoid these; permanent fillers can cause permanent problems. The most popular dermal fillers on the market are temporary fillers made up of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occuring substance already found in the face. It attracts and keeps water in the skin which gives your skin a plumped up and hydrated appearance, but as you age it depletes in volume. It has been used very successfully in treating specific targeted treatments such as acne scarring.

Where are acne scars treated?

Acne scars can be treated by Dr Tapan Patel, but the use of dermal fillers to considerably reduce the scars is a highly-specialist treatment. Only the best aesthetic practitioners will be able to provide good results. Dr Tapan Patel is a popular dermal filler expert who owns the VIVA clinic in North London. He is also a volumising specialist who will be able to provide the right treatment. He is a vastly experienced clinician and this has helped him to achieve a higher rate of success than most other doctors who deal with non-surgical cosmetic therapy.
