TCA cross treatment, or trichloroacetic acid, is a chemical peel that is often used to repair damaged skin. When applied to the skin’s surface, this peeling agent aids in the controlled removal of the skin’s upper layer. The peeling process can last up to one week after the treatment. As the top layer peels away, fresh skin with a smoother texture and a brighter tone emerges.
TCA Cross peel is a treatment involving the chemical reconstruction of skin scars using trichloroacetic acid applied directly at the scar site. TCA cross acne scars effectively treat all types of atrophic acne scars, such as Ice pick, Boxcar, and Rolling scars.
The treatment destabilizes the collagen strands within the scar tissues and stimulates new healthy collagen production. Within four weeks after the treatment, collagen formation starts and continues to remodel the scar till four months. As new collagen forms, there is a visible improvement in the appearance of the scar.

TCA Peels are used to treat skin conditions:
Chemical peels are typically recommended by dermatologists when pigmentation concerns arise. Peels often treat sun-damaged skin, pregnancy discoloration, wrinkles, acne, scars, and big pores.
TCA cross-peel treatment can also effectively cure ice-pick scars (a form of acne scar), peri-oral (around the mouth) or peri-orbital (around the eye) pigmentation, freckles, cases of melasma, and acanthosis nigricans (a velvety texture seen on the skin owing to obesity). The treatment’s effectiveness may be influenced by an individual’s skin characteristics, such as thickness or texture.
The Benefits of TCA Peel:
The depth of the chemical peel will determine the advantages of the TCA peel. Superficial TCA chemical peels improve skin texture, reduce the number of whiteheads and blackheads, and even skin tone. TCA chemical peels with a medium depth improve fine lines and wrinkles. The TCA peel benefits are:
- Reduced brown spots and age spots
- Improved texture of leathery, sun-damaged skin
- Reduced appearance of certain types of acne
- Fewer fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved appearance of skin with melasma
- Increased skin elasticity and hydration
- Patients should avoid sun exposure, laser treatments, microneedling, chemical peels, and other skin treatments should be avoided.
- Before performing TCA Cross, stop using all retinol, retinoids, Tazorac, alpha hydroxy acids, and exfoliants for three days.
- People with darker skin types may need skin-whitening products for several weeks before the operation. TCA Cross is not recommended for skin types three and more.
- Patients should avoid tanning and direct sun exposure for two weeks before therapy.
- Avoid wearing makeup or using other skincare products on the day of the surgery.
- Use SPF 50 or higher daily, wear helmets, and avoid exposure to direct sun.
- Emollients are used numerous times daily to help the skin heal correctly following the operation.
- In the first three days following treatment, avoid becoming overheated, strenuous exercise, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, and overly hot showers.
- Avoid acne scars; avoid plucking, scraping, or exfoliating the skin following the operation.
- Avoid electrolysis, waxing, or hair removal on the area two weeks after your treatment.
How Does It Work?
- The skin is cleaned with alcohol at the start of the treatment.
- Each scar is carefully treated with TCA ranging from 50% to 100%, and the region is immediately neutralized with water.
- Following the application of the acid, the skin will be frosty, with the treated area initially turning white and then red.
- Each lesion scabs after a few days, forming sores that mend to regenerate new skin.
