I did my tca30% cross for my minor scars and left for 2 hours. Now I'm left with brown marks and scarring. My dr did 1 picosure and prp injection 3 days back but I see no improvement at all. Is co2 a better option as I also want to get rid of scars and open pores.

Answer: Problems with scars Unfortunately scars can be very problematic and require a very specialized approach to each situation. Some elevated and irregular surgical scars may require some surgical revision and CO2 laser treatments. For other scars which may be caused by a deep peel a combination CO2 with additional modalities may be your best bet. As far as the PRP use that should not have left any scar so the reason for your scar was not the PRP. The use of a CO2 Laser may benefit scars and an IPL laser may reduce the redness associated with scarring. As for as the deep open pores the CO2 lasers may definitely help reduce those .

Answer: C02 laser Thank you for your question. You can improve the texture of your skin with microdermasion, skinpen microneedling, and CO2 skin resurfacing laser. They all help to exfoliate the dead the skin cells, smooth out the texture of your skin, kill bacteria, increase collagen and elastin production.

Answer: Marks after TCA cross? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey From the photo it is difficult to dtermine your scar types. It appears that you are left with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. If these areas are flat, bleaching creams, IPL, chemical peeling and Q switch laser can improve the color. If the area is not flat, based upon your scar type, low-density CO2 laser,as well as other treatments, may be helpful. Find a scar expert. Ask to see photos.

Answer: Caution with CO2 Fractional CO2 laser may improve the scarring, but will not improve the pigment, and in fact may make the post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation worse. You may be better off with topical and oral fading/lightening agents, and combine Picosecond pigment lasers (eg PicoSure) and chemical peels to minimise the pigment. Pigment lasers may require multiple treatments and patience, so you may have to give this some time. Best of luck, Shobhan.
