How long does frosting on scars after TCA CROSS last?

Hi, TCA Cross is a deep chemical peel for acne scars such as deep box-car scars and ice-pick acne scars. Several sessions of TCA Cross might be needed for satisfactory results. How to Get Good Results from TCA Cross for Acne Scars? 1. Optimise your Recovery TCA Cross, like Fractional Resurfacing Lasers (Fractional CO2, Erbium, Pico lasers), improve acne scars by "damaging" your scarred skin in a controlled manner to stimulate healing, thereby improving the appearance of the scars. Your recovery phase is a critical time period. Based on your photos, you are still in the recovery phase.

Hi,Yes, TCA cross uses high concentration of Trichloro-Acetic acid (TCA) to injure the skin to cause subsequent skin inflammation, healing and scar improvement. If incorrectly applied or applied in excessive amount, the TCA may indeed cause excessive skin damage resulting in additional scarring including keloid scars. As with most aesthetic procedures, your doctor’s competence and experience will reduce potential side effects to the minimum. Hope this helps!
