TCA Cross stands for ‘TriChloroacetic Acid Chemical Reconstruction Of Skin Scars’. It is a treatment for ice pick acne scars and large deep pores.
It works by applying a small amount of TCA to the bottom of each scar at high concentration (70–100%), causing an inflammatory reaction that promotes new collagen production.
You’re a good candidate for TCA Cross if you:
– Are dealing with ice pick acne scars
– Want to even out the texture of your skin
– Are neither pregnant nor breastfeeding
– Do not suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, or rosacea
– Have completed an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
TCA Cross can also be combined with other treatments such as Fractional Lasers, Microneedling, and Subcision.
