Deep Treatment for Deep Acne Scars

More Information

TCA CROSS is a specialised dermatological procedure used to treat deep, narrow acne scars—such as ice-pick and boxcar scars—that cannot be improved by superficial peels or regular facials. At Dermagique Studio, we use high-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA) applied with pinpoint precision to the base of each individual scar. This causes a controlled chemical injury, which stimulates collagen production from deep within, gradually elevating the scar from the inside out. Benefits include: Targeted treatment of scars without affecting healthy skin Safe for all skin types when performed by expert dermatologists Minimal downtime with visible improvements over time Excellent option for patients not ready for full-face laser resurfacing Best results are seen with 3–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. TCA CROSS is often combined with Subcision or Fractional Microneedling for full-spectrum acne scar healing. This treatment is safe, effective, and guided entirely by medical judgement. --------------------------------- Subcision is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat rolling or tethered acne scars—those shallow, wave-like depressions that form due to fibrous bands pulling the skin down. In this procedure, a fine needle is inserted under the skin to gently break these fibrous strands. Once released, the skin lifts upward, and collagen is naturally stimulated to fill in the area over time. It is performed under local anaesthesia and takes 15–30 minutes. At Dermagique Studio, subcision is used alone or combined with: PRP or Exosome injections to accelerate healing Dermal fillers for volume support Microneedling or fractional lasers for surface refinement Downtime is minimal, though minor swelling or bruising may occur for 2–5 days. Most clients see visible improvements after 1–2 sessions, with smoother, more even skin texture over the next several weeks. Subcision is one of the most effective long-term solutions for depressed acne scars—especially when combined with complementary treatments in a customised scar-repair plan.
