Hi All,

I need some advice and opinions. Four months ago i had subcision and TCA cross. The results for the most part have been satisfying.
I have a combination of ice pick and boxcar scars on my temples.
Friday i am supposed to go have my second treatment of TCA cross.
What do you guys think of the results so far after one treatment?
To me, they seem to have filled up after they expanded.
The redness really does concern me. Do you guys think i should go for this next treatment?

This is a very good result, remember scars are not treated in big percentages, a little at a time. Red is PIE, it means it's healing please look at the official posting below for a solution under the skin texture section . Yes you should get another TCA Cross done.

Thanks. I do see the scars did get wider but they seem to be filling up very SLOWLY
Some times i think i may have made things worse, so i dont want to get a second treatment if that is the case.

I should go for another subcision instead tca cross. Subcision will cover ALL your scars but tca cross fits ONLY ice picks. Besides that u can easily do tca cross at home by yourself and not subcision ;) (especially if u want to add filler). Good luck!

A lot of them have definitely filled in. IMO you should not worry about redness at all as it will go away. You want the best long term results possible. Definitely get the treatment and I think you will see more results once again.

Bump. Got my second TCA cross November 18, the areas on the temple are still red, the redness on the ones he only crossed once is fading more and more ...
i still don't know if I made things worse or better ..

The skin takes months to heal, the red is PIE as the body heals. Please see the below FAQ skin: reds. There are treatments like v-beam to get rid of the red if this is your issue with the treatment. Many have ongoing treatments over years so I hear nothing out of the ordinary here, it's how your body will heal that determines the rest.
