Clinical Indications

Is This Right For You?

Patient Profile

Suitable for patients with narrow, deep ice-pick scars or small boxcar scars.

Clinical Rationale

TCA CROSS involves applying high-concentration trichloroacetic acid locally into the scar tract. This causes localized chemical coagulation and inflammation, stimulating the formation of new collagen fibers that fill and close the scar.

Clinical Pathway

The Procedure

1

Step 1

The skin is cleansed.

2

Step 2

Using a micro-applicator, a tiny droplet of 90% TCA is pressed into the base of each ice-pick scar.

3

Step 3

A white frosting appearance occurs immediately.

4

Step 4

The acid is allowed to dry.

5

Step 5

The face is covered with a soothing cream.

6

Step 6

A small dark scab forms over each treated pore in 48 hours..

Post-Treatment Guide

Clinical Aftercare

To ensure the best possible results and minimise downtime, please adhere to these medical guidelines.

Essential Instructions

  • Do not touch or scratch the scabs; let them shed naturally in 5-7 days.
  • Apply sunscreen diligently; UV exposure on healing tracts can cause temporary hyperpigmentation.
  • Avoid using makeup until the scabs have fallen off.

Diet & Lifestyle Tips

  • Avoid inflammatory foods that could exacerbate post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
