Question
Fillers are mostly temporary, and repeat injections are typically required every 1 to 2 years depending on the location injected and type of filler used.
While temporary, fillers do stimulate collagen production over time and can have a permanent softening effect on the tissue atrophy caused by the steroid injections.
It is worth a shot in the long run to attempt for some long term results, if not just for the short term filling effects.
Cheers,

This will largely depend on the type of dermal fillers used. Some dermal fillers are temporary and others are more permanent.
The cause of your dents will also be an important factor in deciding the best treatment plan which may include lasers, fillers or subcision or a combination of therapies.
After an initial consultation and assessment, the cause and severity of your problem can be assessed. A visual assessment leads to the most optimal treatment plan for our patients.
Hi, Acne marks (post-inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation) will gradually fade on their own over several weeks/months, so do not worry. It is important to prevent new acne from occurring (check out the Acne section for the various strategies to do so) as new acne will cause new marks to occur. Hope this helps.
1)acne scar with crater, firstly, need to assess if the skin has healed well before a gentle subcision of the the crater scar. This is followed by a resurfacing, best by a fractional resurfacing laser. Otherwise a spot chemical peel will do well too. often multiple sessions will be needed for both laser and chemical peels. 2)pigmentation it can be many types of pigmentation, from freckles to Post-inflammatory pigmentation(PIH) to moles. pigment laser work well for freckles, but there is down time for 3-5days. PIH can be treated with nonablative laser and creams.
