TCA CROSS stands for trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and it is the chemical reconstitution/reconstruction of skin scars (CROSS). TCA Cross is a highly effective treatment that involves depositing droplets of TCA onto acne scars, specifically atrophic scars. TCA can be applied with the tip of a toothpick for accurate and direct penetration to the affected area.

At Canada Scar Clinic, we specialize in TCA CROSS treatments in Toronto and Richmond Hill, providing patients with a highly targeted solution for deep acne scarring and textural irregularities.
This advanced technique is particularly effective when combined with complementary services tailored to your scar type. For example, deep rolling scars often benefit from subcision treatment in Richmond Hill, which release underlying fibrotic bands before applying TCA.
Similarly, patients with active collagen loss may consider adding RF fractional microneedling scars in Toronto to stimulate deeper dermal remodeling between TCA sessions.
Though TCA CROSS is best for indented scars, we also offer HIFU scar treatment in Toronto for raised or hypertrophic scars. This ultrasound-based technology is excellent for skin tightening and collagen remodeling at deeper layers without surface trauma.
If you're seeking non-surgical facelift HIFU in Richmond Hill or need additional support for post-acne or trauma-related sagging, HIFU may be added to your treatment plan following TCA sessions.
To address more complex textural issues, explore our broader options for surgical scar Revision in Richmond Hill or burn scar treatment options in Toronto.

Each droplet of TCA is applied directly into the scar opening, creating a controlled chemical reaction. This triggers natural collagen production, gradually filling in the depth of the scar over several weeks.
To refine surface tone or texture, many patients choose to follow up with a chemical peel, which addresses pigmentation concerns that may accompany acne scars.
TCA CROSS is ideal for individuals with:
Ice pick acne scars
Deep boxcar scars
Enlarged pores
Piercing or surgical scar pits
Acne scarring on darker skin types
As a localized treatment, it can safely be used on all skin tones and is often preferred over laser for patients prone to pigmentation changes. Those dealing with complex acne scars might also benefit from our broader acne scar removal in Toronto, where TCA CROSS plays a central role.
TCA CROSS focuses on structural correction from within the skin. Compared to general resurfacing, it offers targeted collagen stimulation, especially beneficial for scars that do not respond well to laser or exfoliation alone.
It also integrates well with dermal fillers, which can be used in later stages to restore volume beneath treated areas and prevent shadowing.
Patients may notice redness and scabbing at treated sites for 3–5 days. Full collagen remodeling occurs gradually over several months. Most need 3–6 sessions for optimal outcomes, spaced 4–8 weeks apart.
Results include:
Reduced depth of acne scars
Smaller and less visible pores
Smoother skin surface
Improved skin firmness
We often combine TCA CROSS with other modalities to maximize outcome:
Patients with shallow scars may respond better when paired with laser scar revision.
For visible isolated scars, punch excision offers a clean surgical solution prior to TCA application.
These strategic combinations allow us to address multiple scar depths and types within one treatment protocol.
TCA CROSS offers one of the most effective methods for treating deep scars and pores without lasers or surgery. Whether you're searching for TCA CROSS in Toronto, HIFU for hypertrophic scars near me, or a complementary plan with skin tightening in Richmond Hill, our team will guide you to visible, lasting results.
