Hi everyone,
I apologize if the question may seem rhetorical. i had my first tca cross treatment in october 2020. due to the pandemic, i stopped the treatments (i am a patient who has to go abroad, and the borders are closed at the moment). I will resume treatment with tca cross in July 2021. I wanted to ask if, despite having been 9 months, it will not be like "starting from the beginning".
Thank you and good day

No worries, the results are permanent.
In the meantime, you can try Dermapen + TCA 10% every week. No need to be too aggressive with the needles. Just enough that your skin turns moderately red.

I suggest you adjust the needle depth and TCA strength as needed. But here's a rough guideline. Just remember not to be too aggressive.
- Forehead / temples: 0.25 - 0.50 mm
- Cheeks: 0.5 - 1.0 mm
- TCA: 10% - 15%
Needle gently first, then apply TCA. They should be done back to back, in one sitting.Repeat once a week.

0,25 - 0.5 will do nothing for your scars, dont listen to this clown.
