Deep, atrophic acne scars, such as ice pick or boxcar scars, can give you physical and psychological difficulties. At Dynasty Dermatology, we are pleased to offer TCA CROSS, a very successful treatment that addresses the tenacious discolorations brought on by severe acne. Read on to learn more about TCA CROSS treatments for acne scars in Pasadena, CA.

Targeted Treatment to Smooth and Improve Acne-Scarred Skin

TCA CROSS is a dermatological procedure that improves the appearance of deep, atrophic acne scars by using a high concentration of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for the chemical rebuilding of skin scars (CROSS). Ice pick scars, smaller boxcar scars, and other deep indentations in the skin also  respond very well to this treatment.

TCA CROSS encourages the skin to heal from the inside out by administering TCA directly into the scar tissue, which stimulates the generation of new collagen. TCA CROSS promotes long-term regeneration by targeting the base of deep scars, in contrast to superficial chemical peels.

Through chemical reconstruction, TCA CROSS provides a potent, minimally invasive way to enhance the texture and surface of the skin. TCA CROSS might be the best course of action for you if you’re prepared to lessen the visibility of your acne scars and increase collagen synthesis for skin that looks smoother.

Benefits of TCA CROSS

TCA CROSS is one of the best treatments for acne scars in Pasadena, CA. At Dynasty Dermatology, we offer the treatment for its many benefits including:

• Effective for Deep Acne Scars: Perfect for smaller boxcar and ice pick scars that don’t respond to creams or dermal fillers.

• Stimulates Collagen: Promotes the synthesis of collagen, which over time aids in scar tissue regeneration and skin texture improvement.

• Minimal Downtime: Following a few days of recovery, the majority of patients are able to resume their normal activities.

• Safe for a Wide Range of Skin Types: The procedure can be modified to accommodate various skin types and scar levels.

• Effective with Other Treatments: For best effects, it can be used in conjunction with radiofrequency, fractional laser treatments, microneedling, and fillers.

Say Goodbye to Acne Scars with TCA CROSS

Depending on how many scars are being treated, the procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. For best outcomes, most patients require three to six TCA CROSS sessions. These treatments can be spread out over a period of six months, with intervals of six to eight weeks. Additional treatments can be necessary for deeper scars.
