Dr. Dean Kane an Expert with TCA Chemical Peels in Columbia, MD
TCA Chemical Peel

TCA Chemical Peel is a Controlled Depth Medical Grade Peel that is a physician level peel. This Peel is incredibly effective as a laser resurfacing with a much easier recovery. Dr. Dean Kane who has been personally trained by Dr. Zein Obagi has been performing this Peel for 35 years. Dr. Kane is highly skilled and experienced at performing this very powerful Peel to achieve amazing results.
The TCA Chemical Peel will diminish brown unwanted pigmentation, crepey skin, fine lines and wrinkles and firm and tighten the face. This peel is not a lunch time peel, it will require a 7-day recovery. You can work at home but will not want to be seen socially while you are peeling. It does require preparation of Retin A and hydroquinone for 6 weeks at home with the ZO Skin Health System. This peel is ideal for men and women of all ages, young and old, all skin types and color. So whether you have white, black , brown skin color the TCA Peel will be extremely effective for tightening skin laxity and wrinkles. TCA Peels are also excellent for patients with acne scarring by tightening the skin around the scars that shrinks the acne scar in size. In his Columbia, MD office, Dr. Kane uses a laughing gas called Pronox during the TCA Chemical Peel treatment to make the peel much more tolerable. While the peel process is uncomfortable, there is no pain during the 7-day recovery period. After just 7 days you are left with beautiful glowing tight smooth skin.
Comparing TCA Chemical Peels to Milder Peels
A chemical peel is an excellent way to refresh and rejuvenate the appearance of wrinkled, spotted, or otherwise aged skin. We offer a range of chemical peels that can contain one of the following acids: glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Retinol or salicylic acid. The purpose of these chemical peels is to remove damaged outer layers and expose underlying fresh, smooth, unblemished skin. Glycolic peels are great for superficial treatment for acne patients to lift layers of skin that block pores. TCA peels are stronger with varied concentrations giving them more flexibility and effectiveness to treat a variety of facial conditions. See the amazing results of the TCA Chemical Peels for patients of all colors. The full range of ZO Obagi Peels that we offer in our MediSpa are described below.





ZO Controlled Depth Peel with 20% and 30% TCA
ZO Controlled Depth Peel (TCA) is a strong peel treatment that will effectively reduce brown pigmentation, improve the texture of the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles and tighten skin laxity. This is the strongest of all our peels and it is performed by Dr. Dean Kane. A person undergoing this treatment will need prior preparation with Tretinoin and ZO Blending Cream. A 7-day recovery period is to be expected. It is a highly effective treatment that will tighten and brighten and equal to the effects of a CO2 laser resurfacing procedure, but with much less discomfort than laser treatment.

This peel uses the combination of lactic acid, citric and salicylic acids to restore skin brightness and exfoliate the skin to minimize skin textures and pore size.
