LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

Hi Dr. Lam,

I had fraxel:repair done a week ago and was wondering when I can do a TCA cross. Would you say a months time is okay? Do you know of any physicians that perform TCA cross in the Tucson/Phoenix or LA/San Diego area? I have seen your before and after pictures on realself.com and your work on facial scarring is awesome.

This next question I have is difficult to word...would I have to schedule 2 separate face-to-face appointments, one for the consultation and one for the actual procedure with you or can it be done back-to-back? I am interested in the TCA cross for enlarged pores and a few icepick scars.

Thanks!!!

hi,
1. i would probably wait a few months (3 months) until you finish all series of fraxel because TCA is a whopper of a treatment and i don't want them to interfere with each other.
2. i don't know anyone that does this well at least. i just fixed someone from LA with a disaster from TCA done there.
3. you can do the consult and treatment the same day but i would prefer you first send me a private photo either as a PM or to my personal email samlammd@yahoo.com just to make sure you are a candidate.
best,
sml

Hi Dr. Lam,

I do not plan on doing anymore fraxel treatments. Do I still have to wait 3 months after my last fraxel treatment?

Thanks for the speedy reply

Dr. Lam,

Do you think it would be okay for me to do TCA cross myself provided I start at a lower concentration? Or, is this a bad idea?

Thanks

BAD IDEA!!! anything less than 100% is not that effective (but still dangerous). i just fixed a guy from LA who has major holes due to an unlicensed practitioner doing it. i am barely fixing him back to normal but not even close. CROSS is one of the most dangerous things on the planet if done by an inexperienced individual.
