TCA Cross

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

Postby Shana398 » Fri Feb 01, 2013 10:02 am

Dear Dr. Lam,

I have had two sessions of silicone and two sessions of TCA Cross with you. My last session of TCA Cross was in late August 2012. I have just recently (five months later) started to notice what I think is some improvement in the areas. I thought improvement was supposed to occur within two to four months. Is it possible to have a delayed reaction to the Cross? I was going to just not have anymore done since I wasn't seeing too much improvement, but now that I am starting to see some improvement, I'm thinking maybe I should have one more session. Advice, please? Thank you! :D

yes, collagen remodeling BEGINS to occur 90 days afterward and you are seeing stacked results now.
