TCA cross aftercare

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 cross aftercare

Postby pennypina » Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:05 pm

Hi Dr. Lam,

Is it okay to exercise 1-2 days following a TCA cross? When can I resume using Retin-A following TCA cross?

Thanks!

1. yes, you can start immediately.
2. i would start retin-a when your skin is healed. probably 1 week or slightly more afterward.
best,
