Hello. I already had two treatment with: Lumenis Encore fractional CO2 laser and dont see much result. I will have 3 more treatments. But it is a more effective solution to remove my ice pick scars. Im willing to do whatever is necessar.
Have these scars that laser just doesn't fix I went to the dermatologist but offered microneedlings and I'm trying to avoid that method I see good reviews but a lot of bad I understand all skin types are different with results But TCA cross is what I'd like to go with Would that method be good to these ice and box scars?
Hi all, My face is peppered in these tiny ice pick scars. Is TCA cross likely to help fill them in or only make the problem worse? If not, what treatments would this respond to? What lasers might be the most efficacious (fraxel, picosure)? I have ethnic skin (multiracial). Lastly, with today's technology, how much can I expect this to improve percentage-wise? 50%? 80%? Thanks a lot.
I have permanently opened pores and bunches up lines on cheeks since childhood. Possibly Atrophoderma Vermiculatum? I've always had huge pores, I have (Ehlers Danlos) so maybe thats why. My right cheek has huge open pores and weird bunched up horizontal lines that look like tiny wrinkles. My left cheek has the same but I did get acne there in my 20's that turned into ice pick scars. I was wondering if this looks like Atrophoderma vermiculatum? Anything that may help make the pores look not so prominent, maybe Accutane? I tried topical tretinoin and it didn't help. Could I do TCA Cross for the icepick scars?
I have some shallow ice pick scars that are pore size or tinny bit bigger . I had tca cross with success in the past but now i'm afraid since the scars arent deep i would get more scars from TCA Cross. I wanted to know if micro needling can help with shallow ice pick scars and if so how many treatments are usually needed?
I treated my active acne with tretinoin 0.5%, but I'm left with these scars. I don't have any active acne at the moment and no blackheads. The scars improved a bit with the use of tretinoin, but they don't soften any further. I'd like to know if a TCA cross peel or microneedling is suitable for my type of scars. As I'm a first time TCA user I'd like to ask what percentage TCA best for this method on my scars? I won't be going for a full TCA-peel. Or will microneedling be better? What length?
I have severe acne previous, have taken a accutane treatment. Right now, i have visible acne scar on my right cheek. I have review lots of online forum and medical journal. I believe tca cross and microneedling should be the treatment for my acne type. I have done 3 times of pro fractional laser (300 micros 22% density) and 1 time co2 laser (30mj) and 3 time subcision. I found no much improvement after the laser treatment, and some improvement after subcision.
