Mistake #1- I did this at home with 30% TCA. The photo to the left is the before and on the right is where you can see two very dilated atrophic scars. It's only been 8 days, but I'm concerned the affects are irreversible. I've been getting amazing results with TCA peels, but I decided to try the cross method which I'm thinking was a mistake. If I continue with regular peels, would this perhaps go back to the way it was eventually?
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? Ive read some would worsen after TCA Cross? I took two photos in different lighting
I've tried most other modalities that have help improve the appearance of my acne scars. I was wondering if tca cross would help? How many sessions? At what strength? I'm middle eastern. I tried to capture the depressed scars in the photos. I think they're mostly level 1 and some level two.
I have one upper atrophic scar since childhood on my right nose but now after a stubborn pimple, it seems like I may have another small crater/scar lower down on my nostril. The nostril crater/scar is less than a week old. Would it need professional TCA cross or should I see if it can heal by itself with aquaphor etc?
I have a few randomly located enlarged pores on my face (one right above the eyebrow and one on my upper cheek about 1.5 inches below my eye), as well as a few on my nose that kind of look like mini-ice pick scars.Can TCA cross be used to make them smaller? Does it matter if it is an actual pore or if it is in fact a tiny ice pick scar? Would it be better to do a tiny punch excision?
Hello! I used 85% TCA cross method at home and my face got burned. Also I see the scar on my face got deeper. My concern is the TCA going to make my scars bigger and deeper?. I already went to the ER yesterday because my face got inflamme from the procedure. Please I cant wait to get your honest answers for my case, because I have anxiety form this Chemical Burn.
