TCA Cross for scars

TCA CROSS (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) is a specialized technique used to treat certain types of scars, particularly atrophic acne scars. It involves the targeted application of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to the individual scar indentations or “pits.” The high concentration of TCA stimulates collagen production and helps promote skin remodeling, resulting in improved texture and reduced appearance of the scars. TCA CROSS is a precise and controlled treatment that specifically targets the scar tissue without affecting the surrounding skin.

When it comes to treatment options for scars, TCA CROSS is a highly effective and minimally invasive procedure. It offers several advantages, including its ability to improve the appearance of deep and stubborn scars that are difficult to treat with other methods. TCA CROSS can be performed as a standalone treatment or in combination with other scar revision techniques to achieve optimal results. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and has a relatively short recovery time, with minimal discomfort and downtime.

At Metropolis, we excel in performing TCA CROSS for scars due to our expertise, advanced techniques, and commitment to achieving outstanding outcomes. Our highly skilled specialists have extensive experience in utilizing TCA CROSS and possess a deep understanding of scar types and skin physiology. We carefully assess each patient’s scars and develop personalized treatment plans to address their specific concerns. Metropolis is equipped with high-quality TCA solutions and precise application techniques to ensure optimal penetration and stimulation of collagen production. We also provide comprehensive post-treatment care and follow-up to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. With our dedication to patient satisfaction and exceptional results, we strive to help individuals regain confidence in their skin appearance through successful TCA CROSS treatments.

I have been going to Metropolis Dermatology for about two years now, and it has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience. The staff are always friendly, thorough, and welcoming. They make everything run so smoothly, and I appreciate how prompt they are in answering any questions I have. But the star of the show is Dr. Shauna Higgins! I could spend all day writing about what an incredible physician she is. She is the kind of doctor people wish for. She’s incredibly caring, so attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. At every appointment with her, I walk out feeling seen and heard, and I always leave with a smile on my face. Prior to coming to her, I was struggling with my skin in many ways, but she has completely fixed all of those issues! If I could have her as all of my doctors, I absolutely would.

They have snacks, tea, coffee , and water for you. The staff is very nice and pleasant. One staff suggested a nice restaurant and bakery . Dr. Higgins is excellent and has great communication skills. I asked a few questions and she gladly answered. Some doctors are short and blunt and you don't feel comfortable asking questions. I'm glad Metropolis is not that type of medical facility . The staff are courteous, the place is clean and they have snacks!
