How can severe acne scars be further improved if I am currently on TCA Cross treatment? (photo)

Doctor's Answers 1

You have a combination of scar types and will benefit most from a carefully selected series of treatments that include TCA Cross, lasers (ablative and picosecond fractional forms), with or without fractional radiofrequency treatments and subcision.

These usually need to be planned in series, and TCA is commonly done first on the deep pitted scars. Further improvements can be sought by performing fractional lasers to resurface the superficial layers and blending scars.

For further synergistic effect, the use of biostimulators like Rejuran can potentiate the healing process and further improve outcomes while undergoing therapy.

All the best with your journey on acne scar management! Outcomes are lasting and definitely worth the investment in time and money.

Is the Venus Viva or Acnexel machine more effective for acne scar treatment?

Hi, As pointed out, individual scars may require different treatments, so it is really wrong to say that TCA cross is the best treatment for acne scars. TCA Cross is really effective for ice pick scars but may not be worth the risk for rolling type scars. Both the Venus Viva and Acnexel treatments use good technology for acne scar treatments, and are able to get some of the best results without the downtime of ablative fractional lasers like the CO2. I still use both fractional CO2 and RF/heat in my practice, but interchangeably depending on my patients' needs and demands.
