FAQ
- Q How often should I receive TCA CROSS treatments?
-
A
Treatments are typically performed every 3–4 weeks, for a total of about 3–5 sessions. It is difficult to achieve complete results with a single session, as improvements appear gradually over repeated treatments. With consistent care, acne scars often become less noticeable step by step.
- Q What types of conditions is TCA CROSS effective for?
-
A
It is particularly effective for small, deep ice pick acne scars and crater-like depressions.
- Q Can I combine it with other treatments?
-
A
Generally, same-day combination treatments are not possible. A 4-week interval between procedures is required. Depending on scheduling, it may be combined with treatments such as the Vampire Facial (Dermapen + PRP). However, this will be determined by the doctor, so please consult us if you are interested.
- Q Does the TCA CROSS procedure hurt?
-
A
Due to the action of high-concentration trichloroacetic acid, the treated area may sting or tingle during the procedure, but this usually subsides within about 30 minutes. The sensation is temporary and tolerable, so you can feel reassured.
- Q What is the healing process like after TCA CROSS?
-
A
The treated area will turn white within seconds after application, and a scab will then form. Do not touch or peel the scab until it falls off naturally. It is also normal for the surrounding skin to appear red; this is part of the expected healing process.
- Q How frequently should TCA CROSS be performed?
-
A
Typically, treatments are performed once a month. The doctor will adjust the interval based on your skin condition and how you respond to the treatment.
- Q When can I start wearing makeup after TCA CROSS?
-
A
In most cases, makeup is allowed from the day after the procedure.
- Q What should I be careful about after a TCA CROSS session?
-
A
Avoid friction and irritation, and do not touch the scabs until they fall off naturally. Forcing them off can delay healing and increase the risk of pigmentation. Moisturizing and daily sun protection are also essential for proper recovery.
- Q Can TCA CROSS be performed on areas other than the face?
-
A
No. The treatment is limited to the face only, considering skin characteristics and safety.
- Q Do craters return once they have improved?
-
A
While the depressions improve with treatment, skin turnover and lifestyle habits may cause recurrence. This is why daily skincare and regular maintenance are important.
