Hello all,
I wanted to share the results I've obtained over the course of a year.
This follows three rounds of Fraxel, followed by 5 rounds of subcision with Sculptra infusion.
The last of these was November 2017.
I think the icepick/boxcar scars are certainly shallower and less defined. It's difficult to capture rolling scars on camera, but there's definitely some improvement there too.
I'm pleased so far, but hoping for a bit more of a targeted approach and looking into TCA Cross.
Any advice would be much appreciated with regards TCA cross or other treatments for icepick scarring!
Thanks in advance,

Hey there good on you for working on treatment.
Sculptra as you know is a mass filler and not as good for smaller pits. HA can be used on top to spot fill if you decide you need that.
Things look pretty good, I would look into erbium (fully ablative) resurfacing or a deep peel for the texture. So that will be the last step.
TCA Cross instructions are in the faq, goto the acid section and click on the mega post.

Beautifulambition - thanks for the encouragement and advice
I was pretty naive last year before starting the treatments - I really thought a couple of rounds of fraxel would sort things completely. It's sadly not the case - but I'm glad to be starting to see some progress.
Thanks again and I'll make sure to update the thread later.

Many thanks Obi wan for the encouragement!
Wow, great progress. I love seeing these kinds of threads that are simple and straight to the point.
So you didnt see any difference after your fraxel treatments? And after which round of subcision did you notice the most drastic change? Also, did you use the suction method after subcision? Thx for answers!
