I have fair, Asian skin with acne scars, large pores, some minor acne and uneven skin tone. I have done rounds of microneedling in the past as well as quarterly maintenance sessions but I feel like my skin has stopped responding to microneedling. Should I give microneedling another try or should I start investing in laser treatments and/or chemical peels?
Answer: A light CO2 combined with TCA cross can help even out the skin texture 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.

Answer: TCA CROSS Works Well For Treating Ice Pick Scars & Dilated Pores & Is Safe & Effective For Asian Skin You would be wise to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist who can examine you closeup and discuss the best in-office treatment options for your particular issues at this time. Recommendations you may have gotten from Dr. Google & Dr. YouTube for fraxel lasers or other expensive "bells and whistles," supposedly "next big thing" gizmos are fraught with misleading, biased, incorrect or unsubstantiated claims. Remember, there is no fact checker for the claims made through internet venues. From what can be seen in the photos provided, there appear to be ice pick scars and dilated pores. If so, then TCA CROSS may prove useful. I have been using this technique successfully and safely for these purposes for about twenty three years. It was first developed by South Korean doctors for South Korean women suffering with these issues and so it is has a long track record for safety and efficacy in Asian (in all types, in fact) skin. Hope this helps and best of luck.
