MarathiCROSS TCA treatment
TCA Cross (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) is a non-surgical treatment that uses a concentrated solution of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to target acne scars. The acid is applied directly to the scar, creating controlled inflammation that triggers collagen production. This process helps to improve the texture and appearance of the scar, making it less prominent.

Frequently Asked Question
Cross TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) treatment is a specialized procedure used to treat various skin concerns, particularly acne scars and hyperpigmentation. It involves the application of TCA to targeted areas, promoting skin exfoliation and stimulating collagen production for improved skin texture.
The TCA solution penetrates the skin's surface, creating controlled damage to the outer layers. This triggers the body's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen production, which helps to improve the appearance of scars and uneven skin tone over time.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is often applied before treatment to enhance comfort. You may feel a slight burning or tingling sensation, but it usually subsides quickly.
The number of sessions needed varies depending on individual skin conditions and treatment goals. Typically, 2-4 sessions spaced several weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and peeling of the treated area. These effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days. In rare cases, patients may experience hyperpigmentation or scarring.
A typical session lasts about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the severity of the skin concerns.
