I have been performing TCA CROSS for treating ice pick scars and dilated pores for about twenty-three years since it was introduced in the States by South Korean physicians who had developed it for treating ice pick scars in their patients. So, this procedure is not only easy, quick, relatively inexpensive, but safe for use in Asian skin (and all skin types, even deeply pigmented African-American skin), since it was actually developed for treating Asian skin. Now, if the post-inflammatory erythema (red marks) are of concern, I have had success in treating persistent spots, such as these, using another simple and inexpensive technique-- Dermastamp microneedling accompanied by the application of prescription topical vasoactive medications to fade them. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist with experience in treating acne scars and dyspigmentation issues. Be very wary when hawked expensive, so-called light or energy-based treatments as these "bells and whistles" devices that receive a whole lot of hype by non-professional social media influencers on Dr. Instagram or Dr. Tik Tok,actually have little hard science to back up their use. Best of luck.
