What is TCA Cross?
TCA Cross (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) is a targeted technique using high-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA, typically 70–100%) applied precisely to the base of individual acne scars — most commonly ice pick scars and narrow boxcar scars. The acid triggers a controlled wound healing response that fills the scar from the bottom up.
Treatment is highly targeted, taking 15 to 30 minutes per session. A series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart is typically needed for best results. Downtime per session is minimal — treated spots form small crusts that resolve within 5 to 7 days.
TCA Cross is considered one of the most effective targeted treatments for ice pick and narrow acne scars and is often combined with microneedling, fraxel, or subcision for a comprehensive scar revision protocol.
How much does TCA Cross cost in Washington?
TCA Cross in Washington typically costs between $240 and $960 per session depending on the number of scars treated.

What to ask your provider
- Am I a good candidate — do I have primarily ice pick or narrow boxcar scars?
- What concentration of TCA do you use, and how does that affect results and downtime?
- How many sessions do you recommend for my scar pattern?
- Will you combine TCA Cross with other treatments (microneedling, subcision)?
- What does post-treatment care look like — can I wear makeup, go in the sun?
- What is your experience level with TCA Cross, and how many treatments do you perform monthly?
Frequently asked questions
How much does TCA Cross cost in Washington?
TCA Cross in Washington typically costs $240 to $960 per session. A full protocol of 4 to 6 sessions typically runs $1,000 to $3,000 total. Washington has a mature aesthetic market with experienced practitioners and strong local demand.
What types of acne scars does TCA Cross treat?
TCA Cross is most effective for ice pick scars (deep, narrow, pitted) and narrow boxcar scars (round or oval depressions with sharp edges). It is not appropriate for rolling scars, wide boxcar scars, or hypertrophic/raised scars.
How many TCA Cross sessions do I need?
Most patients need 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. Some scar improvement is visible after each session. The full benefit of the protocol is typically apparent 3 to 6 months after the last treatment.
Can TCA Cross be combined with other acne scar treatments?
Yes — TCA Cross is frequently combined with microneedling (for rolling scars and overall texture), subcision (for tethered scars), and fractional laser in a comprehensive scar revision protocol. Different scar types typically require different approaches.
