TCA Cross

TCA Cross

I have a lot of pits on my face, which are pretty obvious even after make up. After research, seems that TCA cross is a real science to guarantee results for icepick scars or pits. I did TCA Cross with dermatologist today. I was expecting the frosting to be there for a few days. However, surprisingly the frosting was only there for 10 mins and I noticed the frosting is gone while I was driving home! Prob because of my oily skin? The doctors only did 3 spots today to test. Will keep everyone updated on the result.

I saw your first picture and thought I was looking at my cheek! I have more scars though and bigger pores. I have oily skin and a tan complexion. I had a dermabrasion done on my nose many years ago for raised scars and it left a ton of holes and giant pores. I would like to see if TCA cross would work on my nose but I know that oily skin does not heal well, the edges of the pores heal by moving outward, into a larger pore. That is really what happened to me with the dermabrasion. So I would like to know what happened with your skin. Can you keep us posted? Thanks a bunch! Ruth

I had co2 laser done and after photos ahmazing for under eye wrinkles ... not for faint hearted and need 5-6 days recovery before you can hide with makeup. Was $2000 Aus dollars. If you have the option of going under I recommend that. Pain was hardcore during laser but none after. My dermatologist recommended to me (at another clinic no $ gain for her) then once healed wait 3 or so months and use prescription Retin A. The laser is considered gold standard. Don’t go for anything less in my opinion, save the $ for this it works otherwise you’ll be back in the same situation. I would post my pics but no option in comments :( PM me if you’d like them but google results and see if you have a clinic nearby. I waited for a 20% discount and I’m sold for life...takes 10 years off and I plan to get it done every 3-5 years. For acne scars look up Dr Davin Lim or Dr Emer on here they do a combination of treatments that get amazing results.
