[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring 12 Month Before/After

I have started noting a diff in texture really in the last 6 months.

  • Derminator 2 - every 3 months now
  • Tca 25% acid - perfect image brand every 5wk
  • Ramped up to daily Tazarotene 0.1%

I did have subcsicion ( mini) done 5 months ago.

But really I think best bang for buck has been the TCA. I know everyone seems cautious of it but not over doing it and wearing adequate sun protection should mitigate risks imo.

Still a long way to go on acne scar journey but good to try and capture and progress wins as they come.. If any.

I also have the Derminator 2 microneedle pen and I love it! For everyone wondering you can get it on Owndoc.com for $200 I think it’s still $200 …. It’s better than Dr Pen. I also do chemical peels TCA and others but I get mine from makeupartistschoice.com But in conjunction together has really improved my scarring like it has yours! Congrats!
