I was curious if micro needling or TCA cross would be best for the dozen or so ice pick scars I have, or if there is a more effective treatment other than those two options...thanks!

Answer: Ice Pick Scar Treatment Good morning and thank you for your question! A combination of TCA cross and microneedling is very effective in treating ice pick scars. I would start with TCA cross first and go from there. TCA cross, microneedling with PRP/Growth Factors, and lasers have all been proven effective for the treatment of ice pick scarring. Best of luck!

Answer: TCA CROSS FOR ice pick scars Most patients will have a collection of different scars, however if you only have pure ice pick scars, than TCA CROSS or surgical punch excision is the preferred option. In some patients I combine micro needling with TCA CROSS, but the micro needling is directed at tethered, anchored, atrophic and rolling scars, and not ice pick scars. More on scar revision procedures in the web reference below. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim.
