The Caked Crusader

Hi Sam, thanks for coming back! I am to see Pauline this Friday and really look forward to meeting her! Since I am from Toronto and will not drive to Montreal, I have to take the metro from Bonaventur...

So in short- Do you believe having TCA cross performed was worth it? In short - absolutely.

Hi Sam! I'd like your opinion on whether continuing with TCA cross treatment would be beneficial to me. I went to Renee for the first treatment and I did achieve some minor improvement, but I never go...

I assume that means pigmentation marks rather than indented marks left by breakouts? Marks, spots, hyper-pigmentation, etc. Chemical peels do nothing for acne scarring (ie, icepick, boxcar, rolling, ...

Did your strong peels help with any scarring?   Every peel I've ever had helped and contributed in getting rid of the marks/hyper-pigmentation left behind by breakouts. It also helped with blac...

Sorry but are you sure you meant to type 60% TCA for a peel?! The highest I've done is 25% once at a medspa, and the downtime was much longer than 2-3 days at that strength. I've never heard of anyone...

You guys should ask your derms about Cicaplast; it's made to accelerate the healing process, post cosmetic procedure. I apply it for the first week, and by week 2, I don't have any scabs left. I, now,...

To those of you who have had scabs on for two weeks or more: What were you putting on your crossed areas, post-TCA-CROSS treatment? I use a cream called Cicaplast (both Rene and Pauline recommended ...

Yes, I agree that TCA cross doesn't suit my scarring. I wish I'd known it beforehand and my expectations wouldn't have been so high. And I agree that Cross definitely couldn't have caused any change i...

Sam, If you look at my gallery, you can see the after effects on my left cheek. The pictures are not the best because I didn't want to take pictures back then and only took one when I was experimentin...

There are plenty of TCA Cross horror stories on this forum, and I am one of them. I'm sorry to hear about your horrible experience with the TCA CROSS. What exactly occurred, though? Was the derm expe...

I know you said if, I just meant that I personally don't have enough motivation to track this guy down. Sorry, feel like that was misunderstood I know what you meant and did not misunderstand; agai...

I'm glad to hear you've had such success with TCA. I appreciate that. But, at the same time, I'm sure you've read some of the TCA horror stories on here as well. Horror? Can't say that I have. I d...

Baywood Clinic mentions TCA Cross on their site. These are the places I have found. I thought I should post them so that other people looking will have a lead. If you know any other people in the G...

Hi there. I've been researching this TCA Cross method for a few weeks now. I couldn't figure out how to take a proper picture lol but I took some. I don't know why they are reddish, its not like that ...

Hi Sam, I'm from Montréal, too! Thank you for being so helpful! after reading your post I'm really interested in trying TCA CROSS and am planning on calling tomorrow morning, thanks for all the inform...

are you sure? i just translated "omnipraticien" from french... if you go on his website and wait for the page to load, (), click on "les cliniques", and then "Dr. Denis Bisson MD", it says "Dr. Denis ...

i am going to go for a consultation with the doctor Sam recommended, dr denis bisson. the only qualm i have is that he's only a general practitioner MD, he is not a plastic surgeon Dr. Denis Bisson ...

Hey listen man. I have my own car I will drive to mtl if I have to to achive improvement. Right now I'm planning to do a session of airgent in the toronto area. I just don't get how acid can filll in ...

Thanks for mentioning the direct line, Sam. I also wanted to mention, that Pauline even called me a few days after both Cross treatments to check how things were healing and if I had any questions....

Thanks so much!!! I will be sure to check him out. You're very welcome. BTW why did you chose him? I'm having a hard time finding out whether MDs here even do subcision or not.... and whether I shou...

Hi Sam, thanks for coming back! I am glad that you've got incredible results! I appreciate that, Timjames. However, since I am from Toronto, I'd like to know how I can make a consultation with Dr...

And Sam, what an inspiration u are. Even though u don't think your before & after pics are clear...i can see the improvement is remarkable. An inspiration? Wow, thank you so much! That, truly, t...

Hey all, thanks for selflessly sharing and on the regular too. I'm in toronto Can. First time I've been compelled to post. Wow - I'm honored that it was in my thread. Good for you, fellow Canadian...

I live in Toronto and I agree that TCA CROSS is probably the most effective way to deal with icepicks I have tons of acne scars of different kinds thanks to 15 years of cystic acnes. A few years ago, ...
