Treatments For Acne Scars: TCA Cross Vs TCA Peel

Among the many treatments for acne scars that are available

today, the TCA CROSS and TCA peel are most effective in the long

term. The difference between the two treatments is detailed

below:

1) TCA CROSS is a high percentage trichloroacetic acid which is

applied to each individual scar. This treatment should be carried

out by a medical practitioner as the risk of damage to the skin

can be great. By pressing hard on the acne scars the technique

causes chemical reconstruction of skin scars by focussing on the

dermal thickening and collagen production that increases with

high TCA concentrations. Healing is rapid and there are fewer

complications.

2) TCA peel is a medium depth peel which peels away the top

layers of the skin and usually takes 15 minutes to an hour to

complete. TCA peels have the ability to treat the acne, whilst

also removing the acne itself. Once the procedure has been

carried out a neutralizer is applied and you may have a sun

burned appearance for a while before the peeling process begins.

In either case it's normal for an ointment based antibiotic to

be applied to help moisturize the area. Once a crust forms then

the application of the ointment is discontinued in order to avoid

detaching the crust.

Before embarking on either of the above treatments it's sensible

to seek professional advice in order to attain the best results

possible. TCA CROSS and TCA peel, are both treatments for acne

scars which have proven to be extremely successful for people who

have deep seated and large acne scarring, but patience is needed

as there is a short period of skin peeling and repair to take

place before the results are seen.

This can vary from patient to patient, but generally speaking one

week after treatment the skin will start to settle down and an

improvement can be seen.
