Thanks for your query. You should wait for at least a month after your TCA peel before doing any other procedure or look for the peeling. Once the peeling stops, you can go for other procedures. If you go in for any procedure before the skin is properly healed otherwise it can cause post inflammatory hypo pigmentation. Hope it helps.All The Best
This can be variable for each patient's healing time. I suggest allowing complete healing after TCA Peel before undergoing a microneedling treatment. I always add prp to microneedling in combination with lasers for best results with acne scarring. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Firstly I suggest seeing the same Specialist, this way your acne scar revision journey is a lot smoother as different scars can be treated at the same time. I often combine TCA with CO2 or microneedling RF in the same procedure. Having said that, if you had your ice pick scars treated with TCA CROSS, I personally would wait at least 4 weeks before re-treating those areas with another method. Like Dr Emer, I combine PRP and Infini RF in the one session. This gives better results, and faster healing times. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.

Thanks for your query. TCA 20% peels is a medium depth peel and is more or less safe if done by an experienced person. The side effects generally caused by a peel are burns, Pih. If you have done it already and there had been no side effects then you can undergo the peel but only under medical...
All my patients with deep peels get a silicone based scar gel with growth factors and b5 hyaluronic acid. You should also use a petrolatum based ointment to the pink areas. Please see your cosmetic dermatologist for appropriate follow up to ensure no scarring or hyperpigmentation. Best, Dr. Emer.
Yes, TCA cross would work well with your skin type. This will require a series of treatments including the TCA cross with peels, fillers and possibly laser treatments (clear + Brilliant, aerolase etc). I suggest a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.
