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 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 got a 30% TCA peel that was layered twice. My cheeks and nose area swelled a little for a few days, then it went down. Today is the 8th day. I have very little peeling left on my nose and forhead. The peeled parts look great but they are red. I was given locoid lipocream & an spf 30 moisturizer, and I'm staying out of the sun. How long is the redness supposed to last on a medium-depth chemical peel?
Hello Doctors, I had a TCA cross procedure 11 weeks ago. Previously, the scars were ice pick scars & big pores (unfortunately I didn't have the photo). After the TCA cross, the scar is getting worse, becoming deeper and wider. Could you please recommend any treatment to get rid of the post-TCA cross scar in the nose? My skin type is Fitzpatrick 4 (chinese), woman, 28 yo. Thank you in advance
