What is the efficacy of applying 100% TCA CROSS in precise indentations of mature striae (stretch marks)? (photo)

Asked By:4theplastic in Phoenix, Arizona

I've scoured websites, videos, and medical journals for information on this question, but found answers only for widespread peels of dilute 30% TCA, but nothing regarding applying 100% TCA CROSS in precise locations of the mature striae indentations. I appreciate the time and consideration of the doctors who answer this question. Thank you.

Answer: DO NOT place TCA in stretch marks -- you can do laser, plasma pen, skinfinity RF, microneedling RF
