LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

dr. lam
I have alot of scarred pores on my nose, I understand that the nose is mixed for tca cross have you had any success with tca cross on the nose

thanks in advance

i have had success but only moderate success. i tend only to work on larger scars and not pores. if they are too large then cross won't work. all of this is tricky and requires my seeing it in person to make that judgment. however, in general, it is not consistently reliable to manage your condition.

Thanks dr lam for your reply, yes they are scarred pores not just normal pores. Are thier any treatments that i can do punch excision, scalpel excision, skin grafts or etc on the nose? Or am I destined to have these 1mm holes in certain spots on my nose forever.

unfortunately, everything you listed is dangerous and won't work. and unfortunately, i know of no other safe way to handle it.
best,

hi dr. lam

how long does the frosted spots last for after cross has been done, minutes, hours, days?

typically minutes. however, i have seen a few hours too. generally, it is the slight redness, dark flaking, and eventual hyperpigmentation that causes more of a recovery issue. the frosting does not.
