Botulinum toxin is generally used for removing fine lines and wrinkles from skin.* Botox is also used for several other problems like neck spasms or severe cases of sweaty underarms.* It can also be used in the removal of acne scars.* In addition to wrinkle removal procedures, plastic surgeons are now also using Botox injections for the treatment of acne scars. There is a lot of demand for cost-effective, safe and effective treatments for acne scar removal.* The use of Botox for acne removal procedures is proving to be quite successful.*

How BOTOX Works on Acne Scars
Botox for acne scar removal is mostly used in conjunction with dermal fillers. The appearance of acne scars reduces after Botox is injected into the affected area.* This is possible because Botox relaxes the area where acne scars are present.* Lack of stress on the scars makes them less visible on the skin surface. Also just as in the case of wrinkles where Botox paralyzes the muscles to smooth out the area, similarly for acne scar removal too, Botox works by crippling the muscles of the skin pores.*
The Truth about BOTOX on Acne Scars
However, Botox alone is not enough to remove acne scars. Other treatments are needed to fill the scars as Botox doesn’t do that. Botox is also used by plastic surgeons and dermatologists to prevent excess oil and sebum production in skin pores.* This helps prevent acne and other problems that oily skin suffers from.* For instance, Botox can help eliminate appearance of large pores from the skin.*
Botox however, is not some miracle cure for acne scar removal. Like all procedures, this also works over a period of time and the results may vary for each patient depending on the severity of the scars.
*Individual results may vary; not a guarantee.
