Under the expert care of our consultant plastic, cosmetic, laser, and hair transplant surgeon, TCA Cross delivers visible scar improvement with minimal risk and downtime. What is TCA Cross? TCA Cross is a focused chemical peel technique where a high concentration of Trichloroacetic Acid is precisely applied to the base of an individual acne scar using a fine-tipped applicator. The acid penetrates the depth of the scar, creating a controlled chemical reaction that triggers intense collagen stimulation and skin remodelling within the scar pocket. As new collagen forms, the scar gradually fills from the bottom up, raising the depressed area to the level of the surrounding skin. Unlike broad chemical peels that treat the entire face surface, TCA Cross is a spot-specific treatment - making it uniquely effective for isolated deep scars without affecting the surrounding healthy skin. Which Scar Types Respond Best to TCA Cross? Ice pick scars - narrow, deep, V-shaped scars that penetrate into the dermis. Deep boxcar scars - sharp-edged depressions with steep vertical walls. Other deep, narrow, or tubular acne scars. How Many Sessions Are Required? TCA Cross typically requires three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal results. Improvement is gradual and progressive, with each session building upon the last. Post-treatment, a small brown crust forms at the treated scar, which naturally sheds within a week. Strict sun protection is essential during the healing phase. At Aurabella Aesthetics, our skin specialist in Mira Road and cosmetologist in Mira Road team provides a thorough consultation before recommending TCA Cross, ensuring it is the right treatment for your specific scar type.

Frequently asked questions

Because collagen remodeling is a slow process, results are not immediate. Most patients require 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with the scar progressively becoming shallower after each treatment.

The treated scar will instantly turn bright white (frosting). This frosted area will turn into a small, dark scab over the next few days. It is critical that the patient does not pick at this scab, allowing it to fall off naturally after 5 to 7 days.

No, this is a highly targeted procedure. The strong acid is applied meticulously using a toothpick or fine syringe only to the base of the specific scars. Applying such high concentrations to normal skin would cause severe chemical burns and scarring.

The highly concentrated acid causes intense localized inflammation and protein coagulation strictly within the scar tract. This severe, controlled damage triggers a massive healing response, prompting the body to generate new collagen that gradually raises the floor of the scar.

CROSS stands for Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars. It involves applying a very high concentration of Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), usually 70-100%, precisely into the base of deep, narrow ice-pick and boxcar acne scars.
