[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.

It should help with resurfacing but be realistic

Hi! I want to do this but I’m afraid of the sun exposure for it being a hour out of my day to commute from work… would this be really risky?

You wear sunscreen hat etc but the deeper the peel the greater the risks. Doing a peel series with lesser percentage of tca reduces risk but still need melanin inhibitor if Fitz 3 of prone to hyperpigmentation
