Reddish in color after 60% TCA cross was performed. Is this healing properly? (Photos)

July 23, 2017
Asked By:ram13 in Chicago, IL

I just got tca cross 60% last week and how will i know if it's healing properly? Are the scars supposed to be a bit reddish in its color? Should i worry? I have been washing my face with a gently mild cleanser exactly 1 day after the tca cross was performed. I wash twice a day only, one in the morning and one in the evening. How long will this last? Would i be allowed to get another TCA cross the following month? Would you say this is healing properly and excellently? Thankyou

Best option for my acne scars? How to really smooth out my texture?
Davin Lim, MBBS, FACD - Account Suspended says:

I do think there is some anchoring and tethering, hence the subcsion. Sure, microneedling RF can help, and PRP will speed up  the recovery process. At the end you may need a small amount of dermal HA filler if the atrophic scars don't raise up flat.  Acne scar revision is a sub-specialised fi...
