Dr. David J. Sire is a cosmetic dermasurgeon with a passion for revitalizing skin health. He is the Founder and Medical Director of Advanced Skincare MedCenter™. Since 1971 he has dedicated his career to applying advanced medical technology and proven techniques to treat men, women and children.

Dr. Sire pioneered the use of saline injections to treat acne and other scars.
With a special saline injected into each scar, the skin is plumped similar to the way fillers are used. However, this is only the initial effect. Unlike fillers, saline is a real treatment and not a ‘cover up’. The results are a permanent. Injecting the saline also causes natural collagen to form. This causes an even skin tone.

Saline injections are most effective on shallow atrophic ‘rolling type’ scars; they are less effective on deep ‘ice pick’ type scars or ‘boxcar’ scars, which may require surgical removal.

Four to five sessions–each a couple weeks apart–are usually required for best results.

The only side effect of treatment is a variable degree of bruising (which can last up to 7-10 days) which can be camouflaged with make-up.

For safety reasons, facial surgeons are recommended to administer saline injections.
I don’t recommend home treatment.

Saline injections take about $100per injection.
