What is Obagi Blue Peel?
The Obagi Blue Peel is a one to four step application of blue solution mixed with TCA (Trichloracetic Acid). These applications will lead to the removal of thin surface layers of aged and damaged skin. Layers of dead skin cells exfoliate and are replaced by healthier ones allowing the skin's own clarity and tightness to resurface.

Obagi Blue Peel Procedure
The Obagi Blue Peel procedure takes less than an hour in your Physician's office and does not typically require sedation. Your skin professional will apply the Blue Peel typically to your face and neck. A mild burning sensation will occur that generally lasts only a few minutes. Then you may experience a bluish tint to your skin that usually washes off in 12 to 24 hours. Your skin professional will advise you on how many peels are needed to give you the desired result.

Depending on the strength and depth following the procedure, you will experience light swelling. Within two to three days, your skin will begin to peel. This peeling continues over the next several days. By the seventh to tenth day, your skin should be healed.

Once your skin has completely recovered and is finished peeling, you will notice a visible improvement in your complexion. Your skin's appearance should continue to improve for the next four to six weeks, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking.

What does the Obagi Blue Peel procedure consist of?
Application of the Obagi Blue Peel takes about 20 minutes, depending on the number of coats the physician has chosen specifically for you. You will experience a burning sensation that lasts about two or three minutes. When your burning sensation has subsided, additional coats will be applied to complete your treatment. During your complimentary consultation we will be explain the process in greater detail.
