I went through 2 sessions of TCA CROSS (100% concentration was used in both sessions, according to my Dermatologist), with the first session, only the tiny scars on my left cheek reacted. Went for the 2nd session 5weeks later, I did raise my concern that the scars on my right cheek that is bothering me has not reacted in the least, during the session, 2application was done in that session on those concerned scars, but still, barely any scabing is happening. Should I be continuing on with this?
