Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

I am a 30 year old caucasian woman and recently received TCA CROSS treatment for one deep icepick scar and a few barely noticable scars in Korea. The Doctor recommended 10 treatments for a near 100% improvement, unfortunately I could only get 5 treatments and then I was transferred to Germany. I've been delighted with the results. The Korean Doctor told me that he had changed the one bad icepick scar into more of a ...

I am of Chinese descent and had Total FX treatment 6 months ago. The Total FX treatment yielded very minimal results, if any.

Will CROSS or silicone droplets provide any improvement?

Thank you!

TCA, laser, or fillers or all?
Thank you

I have hundreds of tiny white bumps on my chest after acne there as a teen. It's been over 10 years and they are still there. They are more visible when I turn red (working out) or get tan. Do you have any effective treatments for the condition? I've attached a picture I found online that reflects my condition.

Hello Dr. Lam,
In reading your forum, I know that I can get an accurate answer from you regarding TCA Cross w/ 100% TCA solution. My question is this, "How long would I need to wait to have a TCA cross performed following a fractional skin resurfacing treatment?"

hello dr. lam,

I had tca cross with 100% 8 weeks ago on my cheeks, but the treated areas are still red and raw looking.
all scabs came off by the 14th day. now they look like post acne marks.
when I yawn or stretch out my cheeks, the redness is gone but it comes right back.

any thoughts or anything I can do to speed the healing and fade the redness?
any supplements? creams? ...

hi dr lam.
I tend to have scarring on the temple area of my face and hardly any on my cheeks. Does this matter or is improvement still the same regardless the location.

Hi doctor,

I had subcision that left behind lumps or bumps. It is pretty small in diameter and looks like a small to medium sized zit. Will this go away completely in time? If so, how long would it take?

Thanks in advance

I have an appointment in June but my skin really bothers me....am I a good candidate for silicone injections? I'm not sure why the picture is so big.......it's harder to tell with it being that large but please let me know.......thanks

Hi,
Thanks for answering my other question regarding silicone......I have an appointment with you in June and I can't wait, but I was wondering what if I'm not a candidate for silicone or tca, what other options would I have if any?
