TCA Cross / Acne Scars Treatment
Acne scars are the result of inflammation and damage to the skin caused by acne. There are several types of acne scars, including ice pick scars, boxcar scars, and rolling scars.
Ice pick scars are deep, narrow scars that extend into the dermis of the skin. They are typically smaller in diameter than other types of scars but can be more difficult to treat.
TCA cross is a treatment for ice pick scars that involves applying a high concentration of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) directly to the scar tissue.
This causes controlled damage to the scar tissue, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and promoting the production of new collagen. Over time, this can lead to a reduction in the depth and appearance of the scar.
