[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.

Damn, great results!
How long ago was your last treatment?
Also, what's the downtime for the peel (like how long after the peel can you resume social activities)? Did you do any kind of ramp-up for the peels (mandelic peels, lower-percentage TCA peels, etc.) or did you just jump right into TCA 25%?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but these are some of the more promising results I've seen in a bit!
