Well first, you certainly don't sound too emotional - I fully understand how feeling self conscious about stuff like this can really impact your life, so I'm thrilled to hear this could be exactly what you have been looking for!
I keep hearing people talk about "frosting" when they talk about chemical peels. What does that mean?
Hope things are still feeling ok for you!
Frosting means it turns white in color....then quickly turns to a scab....its been about 4 days now, Now, there are 2 different tca treatments . The first one is the tca Peel,...which is the whole face. Second is Tca cross - that is the one I had done which is ....better for acne scars. Especially ice pick scars which are usually little holes in your face from popping the pimple....when they apply the solution into the hole they use a toothpick. it immediately turns white (frost) then turns in color again within a couple of minutes....so far the healing is looking great there are some scars that are still healing some are completely gone ! others are not :( But, Dr. Paul at Agape said in 4 weeks we will have another session and that will fix the scars that were a little deeper....hope this helps !
Nice speaking to you again

Oh goodness, don't worry about typos. I think we are all in a rush these days, so most people understand that kind of stuff.
Thanks so much for all the info you shared - I know a ton of people who are looking for a way to heal their ice pick scars will appreciate what you have shared.
Please keep us posted on the changes you continue to see and if you decide to go for another round of the tca cross.
Oh, and we have a Fraxel Community and a Chemical Peel community. I'd love it if you would consider posting a review of your experience with those two treatments as well! :)

Glad to hear an update from you! How are things feeling? Did you stock up on DVD's for your time in?
Glad to see you guys have had help with your skin and found something that works! I understand there are different procedures for different problems but how did your dermatologist get it wrong so bad? $3.5k for a treatment that did nothing then a $300 treatment that fixed 90% of your problem.... Wow it seems like luck has a big part or something? Oh well I'm glad it all worked out in the end!
Hi guys 03/22/2012 Well i had second tca cross...
Well i had second tca cross done last friday.......out of 30 little -to med ice pick scars i have about 6 left.....One thing i noticed with this procedure .....some scars heal right away ...it looks like i never had a scar there !!!!!!!!!!!!! unbeleivable ! but, some if the solution is inserted with just a tad bit more solution the chemical will scar you more
please make sure if you do have this procedure done that you go to a Doc who is experienced !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this chemical is extremly dangerous if in hands of some who dont know what there doing. anyhow, doctor told me my face is 65 % done...I didnt realize that i needed 4 sessions....but, i really really do see the difference when i look into the mirror the deeper scars are what we are working on now. in 3 weeks i am going back for 3 rd session....the worst part i think is keeping vasaline on your face for a week !!!! oh gets in your hair ....im not working at the time so, made it alot easier for me to deal with .....hope this helps everyone :) please email me with any questions god bless

Dis the seconf session of TCA too 4 days ago. I am still seeing more improvement in size and number of visible ice pick and box car scars. Healing cannot be sped up this scaring and healing time is most important in seeing improved results.. So let those scabs stay there as long a they need to try not to accidentally remove scabbing such as when drying your face..
CHRISITNEINFEDERALHILL, glad to hear you are continuing to see good results!! Great point about making sure you go to an experienced dermatologist. Often times the experience of the provider makes such a huge difference in the results, so I'm glad you made sure to point that out.
Hoping your next session goes just as well!
I'm assuming you are in the care of a dermatologist(??). What have they advised? Also, you could always go for a second or even third opinion. It never hurts to hear different options.
Hi Thank you for your imput..well, i did see a cosmetic surgeon also he wanted to do a dermabrasion for 3700.00 and another 700 to be put to sleep...and cant guarantee it will take care of them? so im back to square one. :(
I hope you will answer:)
I am so glad to hear you have found something that worked to get rid of your acne scars - that is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing it here with us.
How long has it been since you had the peel done?
