Would TCA Cross work on the two huge pore/scar on my nose? (Photos)

Question

I have big pores on my nose from squeezing blackhead but I have these two huge pore/scar on tip of my nose from squeezing huge pimple. I want to fix the two huge holes before I worry about the other pores. I have been researching TCA Cross, would it work for the two holes or is it not deep enough for tca? I’ve read some would worsen after TCA Cross? I took two photos in different lighting

TCA cross can help pores and is best combined iwth fraxel, co2 or erbium laser resurfacing.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Yes - high strength TCA peels can reduce pore sizing. Deeper the better, as with other comments, I do agree that they work best with lasers at the end. Dr Isobel Walker. Fiori Institute. Brisbane. Australia.

Yes, TCA CROSS, 80-100% 2 to 3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart depending on PIH. Can get better result with erbium fully ablative at the end of the treatment. Stay safe and see a specialist for this concentration. Dr Davin Lim
