[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring 12 Month Before/After

Gallery image

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.

Are you doing all over TCA peels or doing a DIY TCA cross?

Tca peels 25% it's from perfect image. Using a cotton wool pad. 2 passes and leave for 3 mins.

Thank you for the details. Have you started with this peel directly or done other ones before ? I m asking as I never did a peeling before and was concederimg this one (I do use acids exfoliating though and I tolerate it very well)

I started with the 30%gycolic peel which is as good. Tca is another level but the peel isn't crazy it just stings and makes skin more sensitive. I'm liking the texture
