TCA Cross is an effective treatment for ice-pick scars and large pores. You can expect approximately 15-25% improvement from each treatment session. Usually 3-4 sessions are required for good results.
The final results will take time - approximately 3-6 months after the entire course of treatment is completed.
TCA Cross does have a small risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (brown spots) and post-inflammatory erythema (red spots) which takes some time to resolve.
You might want to consider a lower concentration of TCA Cross to minimise the side-effects. (Note: there are several different concentrations of TCA Cross available.)
Please consult an expert for more detailed explanations.
Hope that this helps!
