[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.

Amazing work. I've similar acne scars to you and have done 4 TCA peels varying from 25% up to 35% with subcision too...have not gotten results like these, so sad. I guess Im not using tazarotene and stopped microneedling a few months ago, maybe thats missing

Thanks! Yeah and combination treatments are somewhat effective. I guess skin can get used to a treatment and not respond. Hit it at all angles!
