I have small ice pick scars all over my cheeks that haven't really responded to microneedling and fractional co2. Would I be a good candidate for TCA cross or alternatively what procedures might help with these ice pick scars? Also I'm not sure if I have scarring or large pores around my nose area? Thank you!
Im curious about side of effects TCA cross can have on overactive/oily pores. I have ice pick scars from cystic acne from my 20s . My pores are enlarged primarily in my tZone and they are oily. I dont have active acne but I do have clogged pores. Will treating these areas enclose the oil under the skin causing cystic acne again?
I am about to receive my next TCA Peel. I was wondering if applying 20% TCA peel is good for remodelling acne scars and improving skin texture? So far I have icepick and boxcar scars around my Forehead, Temples, cheeks and around Jawbone. Can I remove enough skin from my face with TCA so that my skin is smooth?
I had CO2 + fraxel peel 5 mths ago, but still had ice pick scars on nose + forehead, so got 30% TCA cross 3 1/2 weeks ago. Since then, I've been staying indoors, keeping wounds wet with growth factors, Neova Clinical Repair Copper Peptide Cream (which is a thick vaseline-like cream), Noeva Cu3 Recovery Lotion + emu oil. They don't seem to be healing. I eat a nutrient-dense diet, no smoking or alcohol, but as I'm keeping wounds moist, scabs have not developed. What to do? Thank you
I had a TCA cross peel performed 2 months ago on my ice pick and box acne scars, the scars did raise significantly, but I'm left with hyperpigmentation particularly visible in the larger box scars. 1. What would you recommend as a treatment for this type of hyperpigmentation? Are there any topicals likely to be effective? E.g. AHA peels. 2. Would you recommend more TCA cross peels to further improve the scars or are there other modalities that are likely more effective, e.g. fraxel laser.
After 4 rounds of micro needling I still didnt see improvement to my icepick and boxcar scars on the cheek. Will TCA Cross work for my scars or is TCA peel better ? I have also tried Laser Genesis but it didnt work either. These scares on over 15 years old and Im Asian fair skin.
I have acne scars on my cheeks that have moderately improved with tca cross, a subcision and filler, profractional laser, and erbium fully ablative laser, but I still have some residual marks. They appear to be ice pick and boxcar scars. I went to a derm consult who stated that my scars did not appear tethered. She thought that another profractional laser would help. I'm wondering if you'd recommend another round of tca cross or c02 laser instead, or agree that profractional is the best route.
