Ice pick and box car scarring on cheeks only. In the past I had derma pen ( increased scars), pumpkin peel, microdermabrasion... And at last today tca cross with 50% tca and fraxel laser 2 times over on each side. Photos of my skin 1 month prior and today. Keep you posted as I heal as of now I'm swollen.

I'm only on day 3..so, I can't really say if I would recommend. I did like the doctor, Dr. Emer, Beverly hills.

derma pen increased my scars also by a significant amount. Thinking about it logically, it vibrates and basically destroys and tissue connected on the upper layer which is what it did with me. I had dermabrasion and a few scar revisions. The only that helped a lot was dermabrasion however it also had a cost with a few negatives like messier texture.

Yes, dermapen is not something I would recommend. My experience was so bad they refunded my 2 nd derma pen procedure

Hi! I also have ice pick scars and some back scars on both cheeks. I had TCA CROSS done last May 14 and Fractional C02 laser last June 11. I just hate the downtime for the TCA CROSS, have lots of PIH and some are still visible until now. Some of the scars that were very near each other formed a huge scar. :(

Will wait for your updates! Hope your skin will heal better. :)

You should see my dr for better results but you will be paying 3 times as much as you paid.

Day 2 of tca cross and fraxel

msmelisJune 17, 2016
Used biocellulose mask I purchased at doctors office last night. Woke up with face feeling a tight and warm. Feels and looks like sandpaper. Washed with wash I purchased from doctors office called clean zyme. This is the morning after treatment and after using wash. I was told to use my own moisturizer which I have done I use clinque dramaticly different. I took the day off of work to heal but, I don't look to bad... Doc said I can wear make up in a couple of days.
