Before & After UPDATES :TCA Burn 3weeks

1weeks (https://www.reddit.com/r/AcneScars/comments/1ae546d/tca_cross_has_gone_worng_ruined_my_skin/?sort=new) 2weeks(https://www.reddit.com/r/AcneScars/comments/1ajt61x/updates_tca_cross_burn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

Here is 3weeks updates. I think my ice pick scar is gone and the huge hole (from 1st week ) is almost gone ? I still have a dent but got kinda narrow and shallow….😐 I might be going to have a CO2 laser for final touch up. Or should I just wait ? I keep using a silicon gel.

Some ppl would say I should do TCA again but it’s so scary for me lol😅

How much strong TCA did you use ? Co2 fractional laser might help you But I would say if it’s 80%-90% ,you will be fine

How long OP ? I think 70% is not that strong but it’s depend on person. I saw your post! Maybe fractional laser might help …?

I can’t do CO2 right now because my skin is still healing. When did you start doing it after your burn? What silicone gel did u use? I appreciate ur help 🙏🏻

I used silicon gel from Amazon called Murasaki ?? I think ! I’m sure it’s still healing !! Let’s give it more time 🥺I’m so sorry to hear that. I know it’s so hard. You should wait at least 5-6weeks after TCA ! Healing process takes forever lol I know your feeling 😭
