I think the goal of the pen would be to resurface the scar and smooth the edges while the TCA elevates the skin within the scar and reduces the pit's depth. I was thinking more of 60% TCA followed by ...

What about TCA cross with derma stamp? I have noticed doctors do a CO2 laser after TCA Cross so would dermastamping at 2-2.5 mm after TCA CROSS help in resurfacing as well (even if not as efficiently ...

I wanted to try this too! Curious to see the responses.

I feel like the right picture is after! Great progress, if I am right  

You have beautiful skin!

I went to a doctor near the airport who did subcision for me and offers a lot of other manual treatments like TCA CROSS (apart from the usual list of RF and laser devices). He however recommended Subc...

2023? That's crazy! I live in Montreal but would not mind travelling to Toronto for treatments, if you find some good leads.

Thank you!

Is the dermapen and TCA cross done on the same day? What needle size would you recommend for weekly usage? (0.25 mm?)

I have never heard of people sanitizing their faces but I also wouldn't do it personally because alcohol is pretty harsh for the face. Cleaning your face thoroughly (maybe even double cleansing) is im...

What would you recommend (other than TCA CROSS and micro needling) for these scars?

These pictures have been taken in the last 24 hours. This is not the same lighting as the 'before' pics unfortunately.  

Yes, the subcision was from cannula. It was both my cheeks and I did hear popping on both sides. That's reassuring to know that my response might be normal. Ill start cupping tomorrow for a week. ...

Do you have any subcision after-care tips? I feel like my scars look exactly the same and it has only been 24 hours since my subcision. I see everyone has post-subcision swelling that gives a false-po...

Oh, did you start your treatment or are still considering your options?

Hi! I live in Montreal

Hi everyone, an update on this thread. I got my first subcision today with tumescent anesthetic. The anesthetic is wearing off but I feel like the scars look just the same. I have a micro needling ses...

Thanks for the update. I'm following this thread!
