Chemical Peel Q & A

The TCA Chemical Peel will diminish brown unwanted pigmentation, crepey skin, fine lines and wrinkles and firm and tighten the face and neck. 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, and 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. At Dermatology and Advanced Skin Care in Columbia, MD, 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 and tight smooth skin.

 

 

Front desk was friendly and provided great customer service. In my experience doctors offices tend to run behind, which I understand, but we were seen at the time of our appointment, so no waiting time. The doctor was friendly, informed and answered all our questions.

Dr Kuppalli and her entire staff are absolutely amazing. The care and attention they provide is wonderful. I am especially appreciative to the time and effort they have provided to me in dealing with my health insurance.

Everyone in the practice was so kind and caring. Their approach was especially comforting considering that the patient was my young daughter, who was a bit nervous about getting a few moles checked out.

I love Dr. Kuppalli because she is gentle, patient and responsive. Her staff are professional and kind. The only problem I have with this practice is that they don’t have enough appts. to be regularly seen.I’ve considered seeing another practice additionally to get my skin needs met.
