Are you tired of stubborn acne scars ruining your confidence? Discover the power of TCA CROSS (Trichloroacetic Acid Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars)—the #1 treatment for ice pick scars and deep atrophic scars. Unlike lasers or microneedling, which offer limited results, TCA CROSS penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production to restore smooth, clear skin. If you’ve been searching for the best scar treatment, look no further! Let’s explore how TCA CROSS works and why Dr. Sara is the top expert for this life-changing procedure. What is TCA CROSS? TCA CROSS is a highly effective chemical peel technique designed to treat deep acne scars, such as ice pick scars, boxcar scars, and rolling scars. This method involves applying high-strength TCA acid directly into the scar, triggering skin regeneration and collagen boost for long-term improvement. How Does TCA CROSS Work? TCA CROSS: The Only Effective Treatment for Ice Pick Scars Many treatments, including lasers, microneedling, and chemical peels, fail to reach the depth necessary for ice pick scars. These deep, narrow scars require a specialized approach, making TCA CROSS the most effective treatment available. The high-strength acid application stimulates deep tissue repair, achieving results no other treatment can match. Types of Scars TCA CROSS Can Treat: TCA CROSS is most effective for: ✅ Ice Pick Scars – Small, deep scars that resemble tiny holes in the skin. ✅ Boxcar Scars – Wide, shallow scars with well-defined edges. ✅ Rolling Scars – Wavy skin texture caused by uneven scar tissue. TCA CROSS Procedure: Step-by-Step Guide: Step 1: Consultation with Dr. Sara Dr. Sara carefully assesses your skin type, scar depth, and treatment goals to customize the best plan for you. Step 2: Preparation Your skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort. Step 3: Application of TCA A fine applicator (such as a toothpick) is used to apply high-strength TCA (70-100%) directly into the scar. Step 4: Immediate Reaction The treated area turns white (frosting effect) for a few minutes, signaling that the acid is working. Step 5: Healing Process Over 5-7 days, the skin scabs and peels, revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath.
