TCA Peels and Microneedling - Will It Make Icepick Scars Worse?

Hey guys. As you all know I have some icepick scars, but I think the majority of my scars are boxcars, and most of my scarring is superficial (I think.) I'm terrified of TCA CROSS, but am getting more...

Tretinoin & Glycolic Acid Combination Therapy Study W/ B&As

I still think these are very impressive results for "just" a chemical peel with tretinoin. Glycolic is not even a deep peel. It's very encouraging. If it helps even remotely with atrophic scarring, wh...

For mild acne scars, are treatments worth the risks?

Toni, I think your skin looks totally fine, and I don't think it's worse than mine at all, only difference is you have a few scars on your forehead and I don't. I used to hate when people said this bu...

Mine are totally visible too, sound like they are worse than yours, but many people on this forum have told me they are mild. Are you starting out with TCA at 35%? That's crazy to me. I have this...

Trying to figure out how to retexturize my scars. Aha? Retinol?
