Follow-up question: Would subcision work on scars that are worse from TCA cross? (Photo)

February 25, 2020
Asked By:Yuiwest in Ontario, CA

Where do I go from here? It has been 7 weeks since my TCA cross treatment and I have 3-4 craters/trench that have definitely been created by my dermatologist who applied 100% TCA to what was previously small ice pick scars (she also spilled some and did not neutralize in time). These scars took the shape of her instrument - a blunt wooden end of a Q-tip What treatments can fix these giant craters in my skin now? Would subcision work? And do I now need fillers every year because of the damage done? Thanks so much.
