@icikiwir Ive used it for 3 week now and its much better. It went from very dark to pink. Ill use it for 2 months more and then post my final result. My derm told me that there might be nothing left after, so Im hopeful. Im still looking for procedures to do to make those scars blend with overall skin. Have you done any?
@tcany That's great to hear! do you experience any irritation using it? Mine got slightly better in the past 2-3 weeks but not as noticeable as yours. I scheduled a vbeam laser with my derm next week. I might also restart using hydroquinone he gave me
@roserose23 Its the cream that has hydroquinone 4%, hydrocortisone and tretinoin. My skin was super irritated before, I think because the first derm made a mistake by telling me to use my skin routine with AHA in it. So this creme was a bit irritative maybe for a week but then it got ok. My skin is still very thin etc, but not irritated much, just a little bit.
@icikiwir seems not the same lighting, the lighting can make the color looks way different. do you have the photos of the same lighting tone?
Mine just improved a little during the past month after I STOPPED all the exfoliant ingredient like glycolid acid. Now I feel I have PIE instead of PIH.
My vbeam is on Friday, I will let you know how it goes
@icikiwir hello! So Ive finished with the cream and now my scars from TCA are pink. The dr said its just the skin that is not fully recovered, just needs some time. At least no hyperpigmintation. Ill start with some procedures next month that should help to even out the skin surface and will do BioRePeel in between. Ill let you know the progress. What about you?
@roserose23 how did the laser go?
@icikiwir the color is what Ive mentioned, its pink. There is nothing I can do now, Ill be doing BioRePeel to treat it a little but as I understood only time helps. Scars are lower than normal skin, but not as deep as they were. Actually the depth did become much better. I cannot do microneelding due to hyperpigmintation issue I had, so Ill do other procedure to blend the texture.
Hello! @tcany hows it going? I also developed severe erythema? And have been on hydroquinone on month 3 since TCA hardly any improvement
does it get better?
@sb135 hello, Im so sorry to hear. Yes, mine got better, but Im dealing with scars now with RF microneedling 🙁 a very slow process of improvement.
@sheayork mine are better now but the scars are much more visible as they are wider.
halo! @tcany if you don't mind can you share and show the updated photos now?
