Using Injectable Skin Implant Artecoll for Removal of Acne Scars

Filed Under Acne Scars

Depressed skin like scars and acne scars, and wrinkles are now corrected using a new injectable and durable skin implant called Artecoll. This is an injection that is a combination of collagen, polymethylmethacrylate and anesthetic lidocaine.

The microspheres used here are 32-40 micrometers large and are too large to be removed by macrophages of the body which usually remove foreign substances from the body. This is a substance that looks inert in skin and has been used in dental prostheses, pacemakers, bone repair and eye lenses for quite some time.

Artecoll is injected into the skin wherein connective tissue is formed as collagen around the injected substance. This leads to an increase in volume of skin which in turn corrects the acne scar. The new tissue gets completely formed in three months.

You may experience some mild swelling at the start, which settles in a few weeks’ time. There may be some redness at the acne site for a few days while pain and mild itching is rather uncommon here.

Symptoms disappear in a few days’ time and lumps or granulomas forming around the injected material are very rare. Instead of injecting too much of Artecoll at once, it is better to use numerous small collagen injections to work at getting rid of acne scars.

Before using Artecoll, it is better to have a skin test done on the inside of your arm, using a small amount of Artecoll. This is to make sure there is no allergic reaction to collagen or lidocaine. If there is any allergy or reactions, refrain from using Artecoll for removing acne scars.

Do not use Artecoll if you have allergy to lidocaine, cow products or collagen. And those with thin, loose skin or thick scars should not use this product. Even those with immunologic diseases should not use Artecoll to get rid of acne scars.
