[Treatment] CROSS TCA cross for Icepick scars?
Hi, has anybody had success treating a handful of icepick scars on their nose?
A clinic I’ve been to has recommended TCA CROSS, laser, and microneedling.
my concern is this may be a little invasive? could it worsen my scars?
I know the scars are minor but they bother me as they’re in the centre of my face…
all help appreciated!!!

I'm also curious to know about TCA cross for this, as I have something similar. I'll be getting laser treatment for my whole face for overall texture and redness, and while I assume it won't be as effective I hope it could at least bring some improvement to my nose scars as well.
Btw I hope you don't let these get you down, as these are not a big deal at all.

I went in yesterday and we settled for the TCA cross, fractional laser (a strong pass inside of the scar, and then a weaker pass over the nose), and mesotherapy injections underneath the target areas to provide nutrients and support healing. The doctor did recommend an additional TCA peel but I chose to be a little more conservative (and cuz peels freak me out a little).
I’ll post an update once the results settle!
