TCA CROSS

$350

TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) CROSS treatment is an advanced dermatological procedure designed to improve the appearance of acne scars and correct textural irregularities in the skin. By applying a controlled concentration of TCA directly to the affected areas, this treatment triggers a deep skin remodeling process, stimulating collagen production and cellular regeneration. Over time, this leads to smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin, making it an effective solution for individuals seeking to reduce scar visibility without undergoing invasive procedures.

During the procedure, TCA is carefully applied using a precise technique to ensure targeted penetration into the scarred tissue. The acid works by causing a controlled chemical exfoliation, prompting the skin to initiate a natural healing response. This process encourages collagen and elastin production, which helps to fill in depressed scars and improve overall skin texture. As the treated area undergoes regeneration, patients may experience a temporary white frosting effect, followed by skin peeling in the subsequent days. This exfoliation process removes damaged skin layers, revealing healthier, revitalized skin underneath.

One of the key benefits of TCA CROSS is its ability to target deep acne scars, including ice pick scars and boxcar scars, which are often resistant to conventional treatments. The procedure is highly customizable, allowing specialists to adjust the TCA concentration based on individual skin types and treatment goals. While mild redness and irritation may occur post-treatment, the recovery period is relatively short, with most patients resuming daily activities within a few days. With proper post-treatment care, including moisturization, sun protection, and gentle skincare, patients can achieve long-lasting improvements and a refined, rejuvenated complexion.

Benefits of TCA Cross Treatment

TCA CROSS treatment is highly effective in reducing the appearance of scars, particularly for various types of acne scars such as ice pick and boxcar scars. By promoting collagen production and skin regeneration, this method helps improve skin texture and diminish imperfections over time. One of its key advantages is the minimal downtime required, allowing most patients to resume their normal activities within just a few days. Additionally, TCA CROSS is safe for most skin types, as it can be tailored to accommodate different skin tones and conditions, ensuring a personalized approach to treatment. Another significant benefit is its long-lasting results, with many patients experiencing noticeable improvements that require minimal ongoing maintenance to sustain.

The application stage involves the precise application of Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) to the targeted areas, allowing for controlled penetration that promotes collagen production and encourages skin renewal. This method is particularly effective for improving the appearance of acne scars and other skin imperfections. After the treatment, proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal healing and results.
