TCA Cross

CROSS is an acronym for Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars and refers to a treatment using 100% Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA).

It is especially effective for ice pick acne scars.

The technique involves using a thin instrument to apply the acid to the base of each scar. This causes a local injury and inflammation, resulting in a healing response and new collagen production.

Because only the scars are treated, there is no significant downtime as would be the case with a strong peel.

More than one session is required, typically three to six.

Appearance of the skin five minutes after TCA CROSS treatment.
