Im just curious if I could use CROSS to help this line scar, or mabye even a 30% TCA spot peel? What do you all think could help it? :-k

TCA CROSS is generally used for icepicks.
Not sure if it would help that scar or not.
I think that your best bet would be an invasive needling session. Just my opinion - others may tell you differently.

Want to trade scars? /

ya so what do u think imbue? you think TCA could erase that scar?

I've done TCA CROSS but only a limited amount. I've read all the posts and my guess is that it would help. The TCA CROSS can be used for chicken pox scars--it seems it would work for this also. The 100% seems to provide the best results for collagen regeneration. You could treat half of the scar and see what happens. But make sure you know what you are doing and be prepared for it to look worse at first. It will appear larger for some time even after the scabbing and it may be red for weeks or even months. I've had good luck with the scars I have treated but still waiting for collagen growth. It can take a year before you see full results.
Good Luck!

I'd try needling since it's cheaper than subsicion with that scar.

thx for the replies guys! Actually imbue I already have 100% TCA at home but didnt know weather to try it on that scar or not...

[tcaforme]

anyone else have experience with a scar like this?

[Maya]

Yeah - I've got a long scar like that and the TCA(100%) is definately helping. May need a few sessions though.

I was also curious, has anyone used the CROSS method on non-acne scars? Like they dont even have to be line scars, but like deep scars from trauma... ?
