TCA CROSS Treatment in Seoul
Target Deep Acne Scars with Precision Chemical Reconstruction at TUNE & TONE CLINIC
At TUNE & TONE CLINIC in Apgujeong, Seoul, we offer TCA CROSS (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars)—a specialized treatment designed to improve ice pick scars, narrow boxcar scars, and other deep, pitted acne scars that are difficult to treat with lasers or resurfacing alone. Using high-concentration TCA (trichloroacetic acid), this technique triggers focused collagen remodeling within each scar, gradually lifting and smoothing the skin’s surface over time.
If you’re looking for a non-laser, targeted solution for deep acne scarring, TCA CROSS is one of the most effective treatment options available.
What Is TCA CROSS?
TCA CROSS is a highly precise spot-treatment technique where a small amount of concentrated TCA is applied directly into the base of individual scars using a fine applicator. The acid causes a controlled injury, prompting collagen production and encouraging the scar to fill in naturally from the bottom up.
TCA CROSS is particularly effective for:
- Ice pick scars
- Narrow, deep boxcar scars
- Dilated pores and sharp-edged atrophic scars
- Patients who want focused improvement without full-face treatment
Benefits of TCA CROSS at TUNE & TONE CLINIC
- Directly treats deep scars that lasers may not reach
- Stimulates natural collagen remodeling at the scar base
- Minimal surface damage and short downtime
- Can be safely combined with other scar treatments (e.g., subcision, laser, PRP)
- Customized application based on scar size and depth
- Gradual but long-term improvement over a series of treatments
What to Expect from Treatment
Initial Consultation & Scar Assessment
Our dermatologists evaluate your skin and scar type to confirm if TCA CROSS is appropriate for your needs. Often, it’s used as part of a comprehensive acne scar treatment plan.
During the Procedure
Using a fine applicator (like a toothpick), a small amount of TCA is placed directly into each individual scar. The session typically takes 15–30 minutes.
Post-Treatment Healing
You may experience slight frosting, redness, or scabbing in the treated areas for several days. These are normal signs of healing and typically resolve within 5–7 days.
Results
Improvements become visible over several weeks as the skin regenerates. For best results, 2–4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart are often recommended.
