Athletes, performers and executives cross oceans for one chair. His.
Dr. Jason Emer is a board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon whose acne scar protocols combine regenerative injectables with advanced laser systems to rebuild skin that has been damaged by severe scarring. Micro droplet silicone is one tool in that approach: a collagen stimulator placed in hundreds of tiny injections to restore volume and smooth texture over multiple sessions.

Micro Droplet Silicone For Severe Acne Scars: One Year Of Progress | Dr. Jason Emer
One year of rebuilding a face damaged by severe acne scarring.
Open on YouTubeVolume, texture, and structure restored over time / One year documented
Ice pick scars. Volume loss. Rebuilt.
Severe acne had left his face with deep indentations, enlarged pores, and a jawline that had lost all contour.
The patient in this video arrived with scarring that had eaten away at the structure of his face. Ice pick scars, loss of volume across the cheeks and temples, and a jawline that read flat because the underlying support was gone.
Dr. Emer began treating him with micro droplet silicone, placing hundreds of tiny injections across the scarred areas to stimulate collagen and rebuild the foundation under the skin. Over the course of a year and multiple sessions, the improvement became visible: smoother texture, restored jawline contour, and a face that reads younger and more masculine.
This session, documented in the video, shows the side by side comparison from the start of treatment to now, and explains why laser treatments will be layered next to remodel the surface texture.
A year of progress, documented in real time
The patient in this video is one year into rebuilding his face after severe acne scarring. The damage was deep: ice pick scars, enlarged pores, loss of volume across the cheeks and jawline, and indentations that left the skin surface uneven.
Dr. Emer has been treating him with micro droplet silicone, a regenerative approach that stimulates collagen over time rather than simply filling space. The improvement is visible side by side: smoother texture, restored jawline contour, and a face that reads younger and more masculine than it did a year ago.
What micro droplet silicone actually does
Micro droplet silicone is not a traditional filler. It is a silicone oil, FDA approved for retinal detachment, used off label to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Dr. Emer places tiny droplets into and under the scarred areas, sometimes superficially in the skin and sometimes deeper where volume has been lost.
The material works as a biostimulator: it triggers the body to build collagen around each droplet, gradually lifting indentations and smoothing the surface. Over the course of multiple sessions, the skin remodels itself rather than simply being filled.

01Before
The starting point
Severe acne had left his face with deep indentations, enlarged pores, and a jawline that had lost all contour.
The patient in this video arrived with scarring that had eaten away at the structure of his face. Ice pick scars, loss of volume across the cheeks and temples, and a jawline that read flat because the underlying support was gone.
Acne basically ate away his face. Okay, that's why we're doing these treatments so we could change his life with a combination. The combination is volume, texture, and tone.

02The plan
What Dr. Emer decided to do
Rebuilding skin damaged by severe acne scarring requires volume restoration and surface remodeling, layered over multiple sessions.
This is a stimulator and it works to stimulate underneath all the areas that he had lost volume.

03The session
In the room, in order
Dr. Emer began treating him with micro droplet silicone, placing hundreds of tiny injections across the scarred areas to stimulate collagen and rebuild the foundation under the skin. Over the course of a year and multiple sessions, the improvement became visible: smoother texture, restored jawline contour, and a face that reads younger and more masculine.
- Assess and map the scarring
- Place micro droplet silicone
- Layer with laser treatments
- Build over multiple sessions
So, you see how this is elevated on the edge, but inside it's not. So, what do you have to do? You have to go right into the skin like this.

Recovery and what to expect
So, it's a little sensitive, but that's the way to get it. And over time, this will continue to build collagen for him.

Why Dr. Emer
Scarring this severe requires a system.
Not one treatment. A protocol built over multiple sessions, combining volume restoration with surface remodeling.
Dr. Emer has spent two decades refining approaches to skin damage that other practices consider untreatable. His acne scar protocols layer regenerative injectables with laser systems to address both the volume loss under the skin and the texture damage on the surface.
Patients come to him when the scarring is deep, when previous treatments have failed, or when they need a plan that rebuilds rather than simply resurfacing. Every session is performed by Dr. Emer personally, and every plan is built around the specific type and depth of scarring in that patient's skin.

How micro droplet silicone works
Four principles. One goal.
Rebuilding skin damaged by severe acne scarring requires volume restoration and surface remodeling, layered over multiple sessions.
- 01
Assess and map the scarring
Every face is different. Dr. Emer maps where volume has been lost, where indentations are deepest, and where the surface texture needs the most work.
- 02
Place micro droplet silicone
Hundreds of tiny injections are placed into and under the scarred areas. The silicone oil stimulates collagen production over weeks, gradually lifting indentations and smoothing the skin.
- 03
Layer with laser treatments
Micro droplet silicone restores volume, but laser treatments are required to remodel the surface texture. The two approaches work together to address both depth and texture.
- 04
Build over multiple sessions
Severe scarring cannot be corrected in one visit. Most patients require multiple sessions spaced months apart, with each session building on the collagen production from the previous one.
Asked plainly, answered plainly
What patients ask before they commit.
Is micro droplet silicone FDA approved?+
The silicone oil used is FDA approved for retinal detachment. Dr. Emer uses it off label as a collagen stimulator for acne scarring.
How many sessions will I need?+
That depends on the depth and extent of scarring. The patient in this video has had multiple sessions over the course of a year, and most patients with severe scarring require a similar timeline.
Does it hurt?+
The area is numbed, but the treatment involves hundreds of injections and can be uncomfortable. Bruising and swelling are common immediately after.
Why not just use regular filler?+
Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers disappear over time, and the volume required for severe scarring would be impractical. Micro droplet silicone stimulates your own collagen production, so the result builds and lasts.
Do I need laser treatments too?+
Yes. Micro droplet silicone restores volume under the skin, but laser treatments are required to remodel the surface texture. The two approaches are layered for complete correction.
