I have performed TCA cross on ice pick scars and enlarged pore scars on my face and I have seen great success so far. The ones that are not on my face are like 90% gone but the ones on my nose are more stubborn. Like 30% improvement maybe. Are ice pick scars on nose harder to improve and if so why is that? I have only done 1 treatment so far and will wait 4 weeks after I applied the TCA to do it again. 1 treatment seemed to do miracles for the rest of my face but as I said the nose is a lot more difficult. I also successfully removed small skin tags on my face and it looks much better now. I'm using MSM cream and Biafine cream after to help with healing and moisturising. I also take collagen supplements and vitamin D(if that helps I have no idea but it doesn't hurt).
Cheers!

Sure PM me or post a picture in this thread would be glad to help!
The nose is made of different skin (cartilage) and a different structure (less veins) and more oil glands (blackheads). It takes longer to heal and does not heal as well, thus stubborn. Your nose may need more treatments.
I don't know what percentage of TCA you are using.
So the MSM is working for you, that's great.
seems like you had an exceptional response to your other TCA Cross treatments. Davin Lim on realself says around 30%-40% improvement is a good result for a single cross. I got around that for my first round (ice pick on nose) and Professor Chu was pleased. got another 30% for second round. I'm currently considering a third, but not sure if i will bother.
good that it's working for you anyway! I think beautifulambition is right, we should expect only small incremental gains with these treatments, anything more is a bonus.

How long do you think I should wait between crosses. Is 1 month good for the nose area? Thanks!

I didn't use it last time and my nose is/was very oily. Can this be way it didn't make much improvement? It didn't scab by itself. Will use it for the next cross.
