Ice-pick scarring on an Asian male

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.)

Ice-pick scarring on an Asian male

Postby someguy1981 » Fri Apr 22, 2011 1:11 am

Hello Dr. Lam,

I have several ice-pick scars that bother me. I am a 30-year old Asian male and I would like to know what procedures have been shown to effectively remove or minimize the appearance of ice-pick scarring. I have heard of TCA Cross and Collagen Induction Therapy (Dermarolling) -- are these procedures very effective to deal with the kind of scarring I have?

Thanks.

hi,
in short, in your case, dermaroller is pretty useless. CROSS would be very effective. i need probably 2 to 4 rounds spaced at least a couple of months apart.
best,
sml
