Successful permanent removal of hypopigmented flat scars with TCA.

getbacktoserenity
Are any doctors familiar with the process of being able to fully and permanently remove scars by softening them with TCA and then manually damaging the scar when it has been softened and in its most pliable stage? I have done medium depth TCA peels and stumbled upon this by accident when I picked at a whitehead which was situated on top of an acne scar. The whole scar turned pink in a day and over the course of a few days the scar seemed to detach from the healthy skin underneath.
