TCA CROSS - 29 y/o - Mixed Ethnicities
WORTH IT$20
Just started TCA cross for my ice pick and rolling scars. I just previously was on Accutane for a while before this. It's been past a year now and I'm ready to conquer my acne scars :)
I'm doing treatments in 2 week and 3 week increments. These pictures are from my second treatment. I'm doing it at home because no one in Hawai?i knows about tca cross.
I got a kit from Amazon using 85% strength.

I am an LFT. and i am so surprised that like you, no doctors even know how to perform, or even know about this treatment for pitted acne scars. I perform TCA Cross on my clients using a 20% following the same steps as you, except, no need to use a neutralizer.I get great results as well. I also perform Microneedling every few weeks. Happy, your happy with your results.

Yes it's really strange I have 6 dermatologists and all of them didn't know what tca cross was. I waited a long time to try it on myself, but I'm happy I finally have started to do it!

How I do my own TCA Cross at Home
Here's how I do my own TCA Cross since my dermatologist doesn't know how to do it/isn't familiar. FYI I have 5 dermatologists lol and none of them have heard of it. They do know how to do the whole face peel, but that doesn't address the deep pits that I have.
1. Wash face with face wash. Pat face to dry. Wait a few minutes for face to dry.
2. Set aside acid, neutralizer, cotton swabs, tooth pick, and magnatized mirror
3. Put gloves on and proceed to dip tooth pick inside of acid
4. Drench acid on tooth pick proceed to utilize the tooth pick into purred scars.
5. Wait to see the holes start to "frost" (you'll feel it start to frost to it has a slight tingling feeling)
6. As it starts to tingle and frost then proceed to pour the neutralizer on the cotton swab and wipe spots that has frosted.
7. The frosted areas will remain frosted for 15-20 minutes
8. Wait 2-3 weeks for results then proceed again.
I'm the mean time I use spf 45 with zinc on my face and neck everyday that one of my dermatologists makes his own skin care line.
Results vary and you'll need to continuously do this procedure until you're satisfied with the results. Loving my results so far!
