Course Overview

This intensive training course is designed for aesthetic practitioners who want to specialise in the TCA CROSS technique (Trichloroacetic Acid Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) — one of the most effective treatments for deep acne scarring and atrophic scars.

TCA CROSS is a targeted chemical reconstruction method that uses high-strength trichloroacetic acid applied directly into scar depressions, stimulating collagen production and promoting gradual skin remodelling.

This advanced technique is widely recognised in aesthetic medicine for improving:

• Ice-pick scars
• Boxcar scars
• Deep acne scarring
• Atrophic scarring

The course combines clinical theory with practical guidance, ensuring practitioners understand both the science and safe delivery of this powerful treatment.

Training is delivered by Adrian Roberts, a Specialist Paramedic in Critical Care with distinction, bringing extensive clinical knowledge in anatomy, wound healing, and advanced aesthetic treatments.
