Obagi Blue Peel

 

 

It is a mixture of chemical trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and a special blue base to allow the doctor to control the depth of the peel and the number of coats applied in order to tailor the process to your skins specific needs.

 

It effectively removes the thin surface layers of aged and damaged skin from the face or other parts of the body. The Blue peel can be used on the neck, chest, hands, back, arms and legs.

 

 

 

 

The Blue Peel is a quick relatively simple and highly tolerable procedure. Application of the Blue Peel takes about 20 minutes, depending on the number of coats the doctor has determined are necessary to achieve your goals. During treatment, you will experience a mild burning sensation that last two to three minutes (an electric fan would be used to reduce this sensation)

 

 

Immediately after the procedure, a bluish tint remains on your skin, which washes off in 12 to 24 hours. You will also experience light swelling, and your skin will begin to peel within 2 to 3 days. This peeling will continue over the next several days and should be healed in an average of 7 days. However, if you require a lighter, exfoliate Blue Peel, healing completed in 3 to 6 days. In either case, this peeling should not disrupt your regular lifestyle for long, although you may want to limit your normal activity. When your skin has completely finished peeling, you will immediately notice the dramatic results of your newly improved complexion. Your skins appearance will continue to improve for the next 4 to 6 weeks, becoming firmer, cleaner, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking.
