TCA Cross

At Antian Skin Clinic, TCA Cross is offered as a precision acne scar reconstruction treatment for deep, narrow scars that do not respond well to lasers alone. This doctor-performed procedure focuses on stimulating collagen regeneration directly inside individual scars for gradual, structural improvement of the skin.

TCA Cross Scars We Treat

• Ice pick acne scars
• Deep boxcar scars
• Narrow, sharply defined acne scars
• Localized deep scars resistant to laser treatments
• Long-standing acne scars with tissue loss

How TCA Cross Works

TCA Cross (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) uses high-concentration trichloroacetic acid applied directly into the scar pit. The controlled chemical stimulation triggers wound healing and collagen production from the base of the scar, gradually lifting and softening its appearance over time.

Core Treatment Features

• Targeted scar-only application
  Delivers the acid only inside the scar, minimizing impact on surrounding skin.
• Collagen regeneration from within
  Stimulates new tissue formation at the base of deep scars.
• Doctor-performed precision technique
  Ensures accuracy, safety, and consistent outcomes.
• Laser-complementary treatment
  Often combined with lasers or RF microneedling for enhanced results.
  

Treatment combinations are customized after medical evaluation.
