What is TCA Cross?

TCA Cross is a minimally invasive procedure performed at Modern Aesthetics in Roseville, CA that uses a high concentration of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to create a chemical reaction in ice pick scars (scars that have a sunken or pitted look). This process stimulates the production of new collagen, which helps to fill in the indentations and improve the appearance of the scars. The cross in TCA Cross stands for “chemical reconstruction of skin scars” and is most commonly used to treat acne scars, although not every ice pick scar that TCA Cross can treat is a result of acne. If you have one or more deep scars affecting your self-esteem, contact Dr. Shahzad Anwar and the team at Modern Aesthetics for a consultation.

How is TCA Cross Performed?

TCA Cross sessions are performed at our Roseville, CA office. After a consultation, Dr. Anwar and the team will determine the concentration of TCA that should be applied to the scar based on the depth and extent of the scarring. The acid is placed inside the scar(s) using a small applicator that will not harm the surrounding skin. The area treated by TCA will exhibit a process called “frosting,” where it turns white and then red. This is normal and is a sign that the damaged skin will scab and heal, creating healthier skin. The treatment takes approximately 15 – 30 minutes at Modern Aesthetics, depending on the number of scars you have treated. Multiple treatments are often needed, and Dr. Anwar will provide detailed aftercare instructions so your results are not compromised.

Dr Anwar is amazing and so is his staff! I have been receiving botox and filler for years now and have had some great doctors and then some not so much. When I met Dr Anwar I knew I found my forever doctor. He is very experienced and treats me like a queen. He answers all of my questions and is not in a hurry. He stays within my budget and does not make me feel small when I ask him about prices (not like my previous doctor in Alamo, who always brought up my budget). Dr Anwar's prices are reasonable! His office is elegant and has all of the amenities. I highly recommend Dr Anwar with Modern Aesthetics!! Great service and beautiful results!
