TCA CROSS Question

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 Question

Postby Jackenstien » Fri Sep 02, 2011 7:55 pm

Hello Dr Lam,

I'm considering having this procedure done also. Do you have any know of any surgeons in the Boston area that are skilled wit tca cross? It is almost an impossible search it seems. You're like the only surgeon that comes up on google. I'd really like to fly and see you for the procedure, but I don't have enough money to fly there. My scar is a shallow ice pick with slightly raised edges that are obvious in sunlight. It's on my cheek and It really bums me out. I used to feel attractive, but it's too noticeable for me to feel comfortable in any social setting. I'm 26. Hope all is well for you.

hi,
personally, i cannot recommend anyone else, mostly because i do not know of a single person who does it other than myself. i have only seen the "mistakes" coming through more door from random people trying this. try to find someone with extensive experience before doing the treatment. bad CROSS can make things significantly worse.
best,
