TCA CROSS (Trichloroacetic Acid CROSS)
Treatment Overview
The TCA CROSS technique uses high-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA) applied directly into the base of ice pick or narrow boxcar scars. This controlled chemical injury triggers collagen remodeling, gradually filling and softening the scar.
Key benefits
Best for ice pick scars and deep, narrow acne scars
Stimulates new collagen formation at the scar base
Improves scar depth and texture over time
Safe, effective, and precise treatment
how it works
A small amount of concentrated TCA is placed directly into the scar using a fine applicator. This induces a controlled reaction that causes collagen fibers to rebuild and lift the depressed scar.
