- Scarring is a very common concern amongst our clients. We have those that are concerned with minor ice pick scars, those with deeper boxcar scars, stretch marks and even surgical scars. We also have those that are a bit confused, thinking that a post inflammatory mark after a pimple is a scar.

Today, I am going to clarify what a scar is and talk about how to treat each one so that you are able to finally make some improvements in your skin.
First of all, what IS a scar?
A scar is an area on your body where an injury has occurred. The skin will have an abnormal formation of connective tissues which are initially thick or pink - but with time will fade to white.
These areas can be raised (such as a hypertrophic or keloid scar).
A hypertrophic scar is raised, but remains on the exact site of the injury.
A keloid is also raised, but it will extend past the area of injury. Those that are prone to keloids need to aggressively watch the types of products they use on their skin.
A scar can also be flat or even become an atrophic scar (or, a depression in the skin) - as in an acne ice-pick scar or a pock mark.
An atrophic scar has damaged collagen tissues.
What generally happens is that the inflammation from a large pimple (or even a chicken pock) in the skin destroys the collagen. After it is damaged and the pimple is healed, the top layer of skin ends up adhering to the deeper skin tissues. This, then becomes a depression in the skin’s texture that is usually in the shape of a “V”.
The box car scar is a combination of several Ice-pick scars that are very close together and form a larger depression.
Then we have our last type of “scar” which is really just Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. This is the one that many people will mistake as a scar, when it is really just a temporary darkening of the skin due to inflammation. This usually occurs after a pimple has healed. - Jak na to + styl
I use EVERY thing she showed for the body and my deep stretch marks are improving everyday, I posted about it in the psc group too😊 it may seem like a lot of different products but the serum 30 and Derma Fixx are only used on problem areas. Can't wait to see my skin improve more nd more. And real quick I noticed the pump on the Derma Fixx is different in the video than my pump lol I have what looks like the triple treat pump and it doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle, I've been have to shake out the lotion recently lol I. Going reorder soon hopefully i receive a longer one 😊 love you platinum! Your products work!
Thank you so much. It is great to hear that you are getting great results already.
Hello, has it continued to improve since? And what product would you most recommend
@@yasmine3812 oh yes my stretch marks look alot better but I got a little lazy about doing my tca body peels which did wonders to help shrink them. Id recommend the tca for your stretch or scars. I do 30%tca on my stomach and thighs I do a 2nd layer if needed on some spots.or u can do 20% to start. Keep it very hydrated afterwards. Copper 2x is great too.
How to order?? And price
Glycolic Acid peels can be VERY helpful.....I am shocked
John Newmark everyone has their favorites. Use the glycolic if it suits you. It isn’t nearly as strong as Tca though and won’t have too much effect - if any - on a true scar. It is more of a surface acid.
Hi, I recently had a breast reduction and have been searching for something meaningful to use. I wonder if you have any suggestions from your line. Thank you so much!!
Scars are scars.... so any of these treatments can help. I highly suggest the SuperCop 2x every night before bed. *I say that because it can be itchy. Copper is very helpful though. Serum 30 or even a chemical peel can help as well.
I have medium skin tone with a couple post-inflammatory pigmentation marks and a couple spots from the sun. Can you please suggest a regimen that would be best for me? I've used your products before :) It's because of you I got rid of my cystic acne.
We are SO glad to hear that you have gotten rid of your acne! What an achievement. The big 3 for that are AB Cleanser + Vitamin B Complex + adding on the Retinol .20% at night.
The retinol should really help to minimize those PIH marks, but you can do more with a chemical peel if you wish. If you have never done a peel, the Mandelic 40% is a great place to start here: www.platinumskincare.com/mandelic-peel-22-40/
Another great peel is the Salicylic 15% that I mentioned in the video: www.platinumskincare.com/salicylic-peel-3-15-25/
Either will really speed up the rate of the tissue regeneration and turnover. Keep using Retinol every evening ... and if you ever do get a pimple it will heal very quickly and the mark will go away in less than 2 weeks.
What was the process of getting rid of your cystic acne scars?
I have them all over my neck and face.
I've never used a tca peel but for. The research I've been doing I've come up with 13% tca combined with the 30% to put in my ice pick scars
Is that ok for fair skinned first time user?
Can few treatments of tca help flatten slightly raised white scar? I have few of them, they are very small scars from mole removal. I know you said hypertrophic scars are not for tca but those scars arent that. They are not thick, they are just slightly raised( like not even a milimetar from skin surface)
You may certainly give it a try.. but the best option for a hypertrophic (raised... even just slightly) scar is silicone sheeting or silicone drops.
Can you use different types of peels together such as use salicylic and tca or different combinations when doing a facial peel to treat acne and scars both? Thank you
Kelly Shirkey you can always use different acids on different parts of your face or body without issue. I suggest only applying a single acid at a time though and try very hard not to overlap treated areas.
Hi! I want to treat my tummy tuck scar. Do I need to pretreat for weeks with acid face wash and retin a like I have been for my face peel prep? Thanks!
It looks as though you have light skin.. so generally a prep with Fade Bright won't be necessary. I would suggest the TCA 20 or 30 1x a month. Use Super Cop 2x as your evening treatment to help regenerate new tissues. *Discontinue use IF you get irritated. Give it a few days and start up again.
Do you have anything for hypOpigmentation on medium dark skin tones?
I am sorry but we do not. Hypo is a very different condition. Generally, if the coloring is going to come back, it will do so on its own over the course of the next several weeks. We can suggest the Copper Serum to help regenerate new tissues though.
@@PlatinumSkinCare got it, thanks.
I use a 0.5 trentinoin and thought that was the strongest mixture available? You sell a .5?
The strongest tretinoin is the 0.10%. So you are about 1/2 way there. We are not selling a prescription - this is a Retinol. Retinol is an OTC version of vitamin A.
I have atrophic scars on my body and white scars, with sensitive skin. From mild wounds. What do you suggest I use? They are a few months old
I suggest the Super Cop 2x every evening. **It can be irritating.. so you will probably use it for a few days.. then stop for a few... Back and forth. Apply as much as you can. If you want to help break down the scars more quickly you can use the Serum 30 or a peel like the TCA CROSS method.
hi doc,how do you treat a atrophic surgery scar/intended surgery scar ?,and where’s your location?
I am sorry. We do not have doctors on staff at Platinum Skin Care.
Hi. I have acne scars and i have tried laser and microdermabrasion but it doesn’t seem to work. What peeling do you recommend. My scars are more like rolling, although I think I have a combination
Generally speaking the TCA 13 peels can help to even out the skin's texture. I would also highly suggest applying the SuperCop 2x every evening to help regenerate new skin tissues. It is going to take months - but just like anything, it can be improved. Don't forget to take a before photo so you can see changes as you move forward.
Thermal rf micro needling is a very effective as it continuously build collagen. In a series and done by a very experienced practitioner.
Hi, I wanted to buy the "fade bright" preparation. What active ingredients does it contain?
Hello. The main ingredients are Alpha Arbutin, Resveratrol and Kojic Acid. All three will help to lighten and brighten the skin's tone and will help to remove excess pigmentation. *Make sure to use SPF 50 every day as well or you will be reintroducing more spots.
@@PlatinumSkinCare I have hyper pigmentation. Will using tretinoin(0.05) be enough to prevent PIH, and how long before the peel should I use it?
@@yaronamitai2490 No, retinA is not a melanin inhibitor. You need something like our Fade Bright with alpha arbutin, or hydroquinone.
@@yaronamitai2490 www.platinumskincare.com/fade-bright-lightening/
@@PlatinumSkinCare Can I buy a smaller version of that which costs less?
Hello,
TCA CROSS is a good treatment and thanks to her I can do it safely at home, since I can't find doctors who perform this treatment.
I would like to ask you a very curious question ... What do you think of the dermaroller treatment for acne scars? Do you think it's efficient as a treatment for acne scars ?
We have heard very positive things about needling. Actually, the TCA CROSS is a combination of needling and an acid peel. See the video here: czcams.com/video/-4Nrf9i6ROs/video.html
Dr Mark Taylor of the Taylor liberator for atrophic scarring says tca in his expert opinion and experience can actually make these type scars worse. His game is subcision.
Could you address using chem peels on xanthelasma(s)?
Certainly. TCA is listed as a treatment for these sweat gland tumors. I would suggest that you get a pack of our cotton tipped wood picks and the TCA 13 or 20. Just dip the pick into the acid - make sure no drips - and apply directly to the area itself. ***You may also put some vaseline around areas you don't want the acid to touch first.
Stretch marks 9:43
Stretchmarks are definitely scars. Do you have a question about it?
I was time stamping it so I could watch it again and write down the products. 🌸
@@proudmama2006 Ah... ok. I'm here to help.
While these videos are super informative, rarely do you ever speak of the amount of time you should avoid sun exposure before a treatment? The chest area is a highly visible abused area by most of us boaters/sun bathers. What’s the best solution for a peal of the chest?
Think about how much of the country is sunny year round?
How much time should you stay out of the sun before you do a peal? How much after?
Donna Forrest hello. We recommend to always refrain from direct sun exposure. It is the sun that causes the damages and pigmentation that arise. A good spf of 40-50 every single day is best. I always apply face, neck and chest every day. If you are an avid tanner, it would be best to have at least a few weeks of coverage before you peel. We want the skin to be it’s natural color when we do peels. If you have excess melanin in there (tan), then you can run into blotchy, uneven results.
What is the best peel for post inflammatory erythema ( red scars ) ?
For prolonged erythema you want to apply 1% hydrocortisone.
I bought 30% glycolic acid peel for my bum stretch marks, hope it works and doesnt burn my skin, its a cheap acid from ebay
That is a very mild percentage - but you never know. Keep up with it and remember that it will take SEVERAL applications to start seeing positive changes.
@@PlatinumSkinCare I heard that because of clothing i can damage my skin with the acid on. How can i avoid my sking being damaged? Thank you
@@PlatinumSkinCare Also, how can i wash myself while with the acid on? I riceved the acid from Ebay today. Its called peal deal.
@@Heily87641 YOu will wash it off when the peel is done. No worries.
What products should I use after a chemical peel for body!! I lost my moisturiser do reply
I love to use pure shea butter www.platinumskincare.com/pure-virgin-shea-butter/ or some emu oil after a peel to keep the body hydrated. Remember to apply immediately while skin is still damp to seal in the moisture.
Can I do Microneedling 2 weeks after the peel for my stretch marks??
I would give it at least 2 weeks before you do any other treatments. **IF this is on your body (I am assuming)... it may not have even peeled yet. Your BEST bet would be to do the peel, wait 4 weeks and then do the needling. Then wait 4 weeks and do the peel again. Give your skin the downtime it needs to regenerate.
Should I wait until summer to try a chemical peel? I microneedle but peels have always scared me LOL
Most that like to spend time in the sun push off peels until Fall. If you are not that type then anytime is a good time to start. Start with something light like a 30% glycolic of 40% mandelic.
Hi, I have the accident scar on my face which one shall I use
I am unsure of what that means. It is sutured or just discolored?
hello there, may I am not rinse the BHA/jessner peel and leave them overnight on the skin? because some people told me that we don't need to rince, they are self-neutralized. thank you
Hello. With Jessnere we WANT you to leave it on for 4 hours. See application here: www.platinumskincare.com/jessners-peel-l-application-detailed-faq-aftercare/

@@janiicy._tarot Happy to help. Enjoy.
Hi. I recently did your tca peel and cross method. Ive had many facials and peels done before. I applied the 13% of tca twice and it didnt haze or anything. What do you suggest?
I think that is perfectly normal. I personally don't see any frosting until layer 3 - others see it at the first layer. We are all different. I suggest trying another layer next time. The end game is --- as long as you are getting some flaking -- it is working perfectly. Frosting is not mandatory.
I have a scar on half of my face and it looks permanent what should I do?
I would suggest using the SuperCop 2x each evening to help turn over the skin. Serum 30 could be used on the scar to help break it down more quickly - and a peel could be used for the same method
Do I need a melanin inhibitor before using glycolic peel 30%? I am medium to dark skin.
Mel N. You should be just fine. It is only with stronger acids and higher percentages that this becomes a worry.
If you are dealing with uneven skin tone though - then go ahead and use it.
Does your skin flakes with glycolic acid peel?
@@melyn.3094 Many people see some very light flaking from a glycolic peel. Everyone is different - as is the level in which your skin is prepared. I would expect that you would definitely see some flakes for sure. *Remember that a peel is not a 1x event. You will need to do a peel for 6-8 times in a row to get the results you are looking for.
@@melyn.3094 Most people will see a small amount of visible flaking. Learn about the acids here: czcams.com/video/KVExJWc1Foo/video.html
I just did my peel 13% can I use the serum 15% tomorrow morning or do I have to wait a few days? I did 2 layers.
I would wait a day or so for the Serum 15. Your skin may a bit sensitive after your peel. If you apply it and it stings or burns....simply wash it off and wait another day or so.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you!
Hi how r u ? Can u suggest me product for injery scar for a 6 year baby boy...its to bad and I am very very upset and also tell me how to order and proce
I would suggest the Super CP Serum. Just a drop on the scar and then apply some Emu oil on top for penetration. :)
Hello maam your explanation is superb. Maam i want to know that can one remove freckles and birth mark also with these chemical peels
A birth mark isn't going to be removed. *There can be some lasers that will tackle port wine stains..., but a normal BM is just a part of your skin's coloring. Freckles can definitely be lightened or removed after repeated Peels and Retinoid usage.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you ma'am

Hi,
I used 10% salicylic acid to treat PIH(2 days ago) and it got worse.
What do you recommend me to do? Should I use the acid again?
Yaron Amitai two days ago? Then your skin is darkening because it’s getting ready to peel. You need to be patient.
What is price of this product and how can I get this
Hello, it depends on which product you are referring to. In the video description there are links to every product that is mentioned in the video. Take a look at that and click from there.
Mam plzz suggest for old burn scar.my affected area becoming shiny.
For scars we recommend SuperCop 2x daily. You can also use either an acid serum or a chemical peel to further break down the scar. I will paste options:

@@PlatinumSkinCare if you compare the supercop 2x with serum 30, which one is stronger?
What is the process of getting rid of your cystic acne scars?
I have them all over my neck and face. Large white scars.
I've never used a tca peel before. The research I've been doing I've come up with 13% tca combined with the 30% to put in my ice pick scars
Is that ok for fair skinned first time user?
Yes, the CROSS method is using a small wooden pick and applying the 30 tca INside the scar. The rest of the face will be treated with a milder TCA, such as the 13%. See this video on CROSS: czcams.com/video/-4Nrf9i6ROs/video.html See this video on applying a tca peel: czcams.com/video/nS2d_1M3Mag/video.html Also watch this video playlist on all things TCA: czcams.com/video/p9XDQAykpKg/video.html
Maam can one treat hypertrophic scars with higher %of tca
Hello. This really depends on your skin's coloring. Milder acids and percentages for darker skin tones. I would suggest TCA 13 or 20 for a Fitzpatrick 4/5 No stronger for the scars. I also suggest Super Cop 2x for the scars. It can be applied daily to help regenerate scars. See here: www.platinumskincare.com/scar-treatment/
And see here: www.platinumskincare.com/copper-super-cop-2x/
Which acid do you suggest for ice picked scars?
In this very video we recommend the TCA for ice pick scars.
czcams.com/video/-4Nrf9i6ROs/video.html
is tca peel good for rolling scars or the tca cross??? which one is good for rolling scars? and tell me the treatment with tca peel is permanent or not?
Yes, all TCA peels will be helpful because they break down damaged tissues and stimulate the creation of new, "normal" tissues. I would start doing a series of full facial peels. Begin with the TCA 13% at 1-2 layers on your entire face. **Then, if you want to add an extra layer of treatment to your depressed scars, go ahead and use a Q-tip and add another layer there. I also suggest using Dr. Pickart's SuperCop 2x every evening on your scars for more tissue remodeling. www.platinumskincare.com/copper-super-cop-2x/ www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peel-13-20-30/
@@PlatinumSkinCare i have scars on just a small portion of my cheeks.....can i use tca peel on just that portion of my face on cheeks?
@@dlovato6021 Absolutely you can. That is a spot treatment. A qtip is an excellent tool to apply the acid ONLY to the areas where you need.
hi, can we use retinol A and copper peptides at the same time?
Yes, most definitely you may. Apply copper first and then top with the Retinol Molecular Serum.
@@PlatinumSkinCare oh ok i thought it was the another way around, does it make a diffrence which way? i did buy retinol A and the supercop x2 from your website, but not sure how to use properly, sometime when i use the super cop the next day i have this red almost bleeding kind of irritation, in this case shall i still continue to use the supercop everyday or wait for a few days until its healed? thanks
@@2willyboy If you are using OUR retinol, it is deeply penetrating and should go on top. IF it isn't ours... then don't worry.
If your skin is still irritated, then give it a couple days of just using healing oils/ointments. Then, when it feels good start up with the coppers. After a week you can use the retinol.
Can i use vitamin e serum when i done tca?
Any oil, serum or cream that is healing and hydrating will be just fine. Go right ahead.

This is a great video for someone looking for starting ideas. czcams.com/video/izplqbC-0hA/video.html You don't mention what you are trying to cover up? Acne, Scars, just those freckles?

Fade Bright is a pretreatment for medium toned skin prior to any peels, and it is also excellent for markings of any type.
