Obagi
Blue Peel
The
Obagi Blue Peel is an in-office procedure
designed to significantly improve
the appearance and health of your
skin. Using a low concentration of
tricholoracetic acid (TCA) mixed with
a special blue base to slow penetration,
the Blue Peel allows us to monitor
the appropriate depth to effectively
remove the thin surface layers of
aged and damaged skin from the face
and other parts of the body. These
dead skin cells are replaced by healthier
ones, allowing the skin's own clarity
and tightness to resurface.
Application
of the Blue Peel takes about 20 -
30 minutes, depending on the number
of coats necessary to achieve your
goals. You will experience a mild
burning sensation that lasts two to
three minutes. Immediately after the
procedure, a bluish tint remains on
your skin, which will usually wash
off in 12 to 24 hours.
After
the procedure, you will 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 to 10 days.
In
most cases, one to three Blue Peels
are needed to achieve dramatic improvements
in many skin problems. The peel can
be repeated in 6 to 8 week intervals
until your desired goals are reached.
