Targeted Scar Revision For Deep Ice-Pick Scars
TCA CROSS (Chemical Reconstruction Of Skin Scars) is a precise chemical treatment used to improve deep, narrow acne scars, particularly ice-pick scars that extend into the dermis. This technique is safe, quick, and well tolerated when performed by experienced doctors.
What It Treats
- Ice-pick acne scars
- Deep facial pits or pores
- Small, stubborn post-acne indentations
How It Works
TCA CROSS involves the application of high-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA) directly into each scar using a fine applicator. This controlled chemical injury:
- Stimulates collagen formation from the base of the scar
- Causes the scar edges to fill in gradually
- Improves depth and overall skin texture
The treatment is typically performed in a series of 3 – 5 sessions, spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart. TCA CROSS can be used alone or in combination with microneedling, RF treatments, or subcision for enhanced outcomes.
Mild redness or frosting at the application site is expected and resolves within a few days. Over time, treated scars become shallower and less noticeable, with improved skin smoothness.
