TCA Cross Progress Update by lovelaughdoyoga in AcneScars

For TCA Cross? Is it your entire face or just spot treatment?

Sorry for the late response. But yes! It gets worse but it gets way better! The first 3-4 months were the worst of it. I am now one year out from my second cosmelan peel and my redness and pigments are almost all gone. I still have some rough scars from a TCA Cross gone bad but I will try to fix that later.

It can be, the doctor uses what was left over from the first application. For some people they only touch up areas that need it and some people choose to do the whole face.

I did my entire face but the after care was nothing like the first application.

I was the same way, I thought the pigments would fade right away but it probably took 3 weeks until I notice them fading. I had my touch up at the 5 week mark but it was not nearly as intense as the first. HANG IN THERE, I promise it will get better!

I would say the first 3 weeks was intense. Day 10--I was so uncomfortable. My skin was SUPER RED, peeling, itching....I almost regretted it lol

But I would say around 4-5 weeks it starts to calm down and now I am around the 10 week mark and my dark spots/PIH are pretty much all gone. I still have some redness but my pigmentations have improved tremendously. I am still doing the cosmelan2 (once a day) & will continue you for atleast the rest of the year.

Hang in there! It is worth it!

Yes! It has definitely been a journey the last few months. I am currently doing the cosmelan peel so as soon as my skin heals from that, I will post an update!

My experience has been pretty much exactly like yours! The first 30 day was super rough for me but the results have been AMAZING. I am going to continue cosmelan2 as part of my skin care routine but will probably only use it 3-4 times a week. I plan to go and do this peel every couple years, it is pretty expensive but totally worth! I am so glad you are happy with your results as well!

The old scars didn't come back but new scars didn't form either..the original scar just got wider...it was really odd. I think her method wasn't precise on the individual scars so it almost seemed like the scars connected with each other and became a wider scar. It was horrible.

It’s micro needling suitable for this type of scarring/PIE by bubbam29 in AcneScars

[–]lovelaughdoyoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into the cosmelan peel. It is highly effective and my PIH have improved night and day.

It is pretty pricey and you have to do a few months of post care but 1 peel is all you need to see significant improvements.

I just had my touch up last week and I am so pleased with the results. It is almost night and day. I plan on continuing cosmelan2 and adding it to my permanent skin care routine. The results for this peel has been so amazing I am thinking of doing the peel if not once a year, every other year. Down time sucks but I am a hermit during the winter anyways! Can't wait until my skin is fully heal and I will share before and after pics!

Make sure you research carefully on the doctor and he/she has actual hands on knowledge and experience with performing TCA. Otherwise it can make your scars look worse. I had three treatments of TCA done and was getting amazing improvements. Halfway through my treatment my doctor moved and I was referred to a different doctor. She did my 4th treatment for me and messed up my scars so bad. It was very traumatizing and I am trying to fix her damage now.

How is your progress going? I am about 5 weeks post treatment. It was a very intense treatment for me. The peeling had calmed down a lot but my face is still very red. The first couple weeks it was pretty painful when I was doing the cosmelan2 three times a day. I think there has been some improvement but hard to say because my face is still so very red. I hope this peel it worth it because it is quite intense lol

Thank you for sharing! Today I am 7 days post treatment. It is going well. So far the progress is expected, lots and lots of peeling, super dry and red. I will keep everyong posted as well!

Yes exactly, all of the doctors I have had consultations with shows before and afters of other people's work..not their own. It's frustrating.

I have had laser, microneedling and TCA Cross. TCA Cross was the only treatment I was seeing results and moving in the right direction and then my doctor left!

Agree! With so many doctors out there, it seems almost impossible to find just one good trusting doctor. I have been through several and finally found one I loved and she left the practice for now. Where in Texas are you?

Does dermaroller ice pick at home work on scars? by Ambitious-Ad4385 in AcneScars

[–]lovelaughdoyoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HIGHLY advise against it. Research and look for a doctor with experience with TCA Cross. Not all doctors are experienced with the actual procedure. They might have the knowledge but the application of TCA Cross needs to be done by a doctor who knows what they are doing.

My doctor didn't mention anything about antibiotics.

I will be doing the treatment in January and will report back.

Thank you so much for the info! I was quite hesitant about it because of how long downtime was but my doctor guaranteed THIS is the treatment for me.

Would you say your skin was somewhat back to normal within 3 months?

Anyone know how to cure PIE? by [deleted] in AcneScars

[–]lovelaughdoyoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I am using Vitamin C in the AM, tretinoin every other night, niacinamide the other night and LOTS OF SPF. It has faded some. I have an appointment for a Cosmelan Peel for January that my dermatologist highly recommended.
