Is TCA CROSS with subcision or Intracel RF more effective for severe acne scars? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

From your photo, you do have different types of scars (Ice picks, Box, Rolling) that will require a combination of different treatments to treat each of them.

Each scar type respond differently to each treatment which is why a combination of treatments is necessary to produce optimal results.

Personally in my practice (for a case like yours), I would recommend a combined regime of:

1) TCA CROSS

2) Subscision

3) Fractional CO2 Laser then +/- Intracel/ Microneedle RF if required

Fillers can also be considered but results are not permanent.

(Note: The Duet RF does not penetrate as deep and would not be my 1st line treatment of choice.)

A sequence of sessions will be required and downtime/ redness is to be expected.

Hope that helps.

All the best!
