TCA Cross

TCA CROSS $95- $450

This medical skin resurfacing procedure for treating acne scar involves depositing small amounts of TCA at high concentration (70–100%) onto the surface of the atrophic scar. This causes a local inflammatory reaction leading to the formation of new collagen fibres. The aim is to improve the appearance of the scar by increasing collagen reflectance and reducing shadows cast over scar depressions.

TCA CROSS is useful in the following types of atrophic scar:

• Boxcar acne scars
• Rolling acne scars
• Ice-pick acne scars.
