TCA after skin resurfacing

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

TCA after skin resurfacing

Postby sassy74 » Mon Jul 05, 2010 4:04 pm

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?"

I'm currently undergoing a procedure called eMatrix RF "Sublative Rejuvenation" by Syneron. I know that is not a treatment that you offer at your practice, but perhaps you are familiar with hearing about it? Regardless, I'm SUPER interested in cross, but do not want to schedule a treatment too soon after the Matrix RF treatments for fear of damaging any collagen production.

I truly appreciate any guidance you can provide! Many thanks in advance. :D

it does not sound too invasive but i am unfamiliar with it. nevertheless, i would probably wait at least 3 months.
