Hello I have been looking at the website for so long now and I wanted to get opinions on TCA Cross and what to do for the after treatment. So I had great skin throughout high school and then when I got to college my skin freaked out! Now I cleared my skin up, but I still get really inflamed red acne sometimes. Upon clearing my skin up I found that I have a few acne scars on my left check that are pretty deep and other are minor scars and I have another scar on my forehead that looks like a huge pore but I know its a scar because I picked it... oops. My question is for anyone who has ever done TCA cross do you recommend it? I have seen some people's amazing results and I want to feel confident again in my skin. I also want to know what you used for a serum or supplement to help rebuild the scared area again. Thank you so so so so so much again! If I get good feedback and feel that this is the right option I will be sure to share my results

Thank you! I have a 20% TCA and I tried to do the cross, but it isn't strong enough for me and I ended up just wiping it over the scar area. It just made my skin peel which is good. I'm just want to fill them in. I totally get where you are coming from though. I do not want to make the scar worse!
My derm used 65%, not happy with it. I've only had it done once though.
What I didn't like is that it left some red marks on my face I didn't have before. Its been 6 weeks so hopefully they go away.
1 round of CROSS isn't going to do very much, the key to success is multiple rounds, each one building on previous gains. 6 rounds is standard,
The red marks will fade, just make sure you avoid the sun.
I am sure it will heal over time! I read that if it is red that means its still healing so that's probably a good thing! If i had money I would totally do laser or something put I am a poor college student so I figured this is my best bet.
When it comes to filling in individual acne scars CROSS is king, lasers don't even come close.
