Very interesting. Who gave you that plan? Sounds relatively sound to me at first glance. Keep us posted. The peels seemmaybe a little close to laser resurfacing, but don't want to question it if you got this advice from a good doc who you trust.

I have been recommended by the doctor for the two laser treatments however I have taken it upon myself to design the plan around those treatments in order to maximise improvement in my gap year away from the outside world. I agree with your point and this might have to be tuned around holidays key events and potential side effects and downtime

I think dermapen en TCA peel of 15% isn't going to cut it for you, If your scarring is similar to that of the picture above I think you need more aggressive treatments.

What would you personally recommend as the scars are not tethered and mostly surface damage

Hard to say without pictures. It is best that you determine what kind of scars you have. I have ice pick scarring and irregular texture on my cheeks. I have hadmultiple (3 or 4)deep microneedling sessions and one medium peel. Each treatmant had approximately a downtime of one week and when the swelling went away the results were really disappointing. I also had multiple fractional laser sessions in the past and the did give me some results. Currently I'm trying TCA cross 95%. Hope this information can guide you somehow in your journey. Best of luck.
