TCA CROSS for Acne Scarring
TCA CROSS (also known as chemical reconstruction of skin scars using Trichloroacetic Acid) is a focused, high-precision treatment designed for atrophic (indented) acne scars. Collagen production is triggered, helping to rebuild and smooth the affected area over time.
How Does TCA CROSS work?
A high-strength TCA solution is applied with pinpoint accuracy to each scar. This causes controlled inflammation, which leads to long-term collagen remodelling.
