Okay, I will try to answer all the questions. Here goes...
-I used 100% TCA for the cross. 20 to 25 icepicks/pores on the left and 10 to 15 on the right.
-I also did 2 TCA complex peels full face. No breakouts, but only very heavy/oily things will give
me a pimple now since Accutane.
-I performed all the procedures myself. Generally, I would recommend going to a professional
due to the potential for further scarring with TCA cross. I am in an allied health field
and work on an area much smaller than my face so I felt comfortable performing it myself. If
you have very steady hands and are not nervous at all then try one spot~just a suggestion.
-5 weeks between the 2 cross sessions. 1 Tca complex 4 weeks after 1st cross. 2nd Tca complex
3 weeks after 2nd cross.
-It does appear that I had redness in my before pic but it was minimal. I do have lingering
redness on my deepest icepick I crossed on my left cheek.
-I will perform cross hopefully one last time next week. I am hoping to follow that 4 weeks later
with a combo Jessner's peel, 25% TCA peel for my remaining rolling scars and freckles.
-Oh, finally. I have not performed cross on any rolling scars!!! I am attributing their improvement
to HA supplements more than anything else.
Keep the questions coming! I am so grateful to this board for helping me treat my scars so successfully and for a tiny fraction of the price I have paid my dermatologist over the years. So I am in"pay it forward" mode now. Anyway, for the first time in years I am not wearing my spackle concealer. I am hoping to be able to go foundation free by the end of the summer
Take care!
