Obagi Blue Peel
The blue peel is a one- to four-step application used to remove
thin surface layers
of aged and damaged skin. Layers of dead skin cells exfoliate
and are replaced by healthier cells allowing the skin's own
clarity and tightness to resurface.
The Obagi Blue Peel uses Trichloracetic Acid (TCA) as the active ingredient mixed with patented Blue Base from Obagi. We will apply the Obagi Blue Peel based on your level of damage and your desired level of transformation.
Patient Assessment
- Sun damage, brown spots
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Desired overall skin improvement
Intended Result
- Skin that is: firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier, more youthful looking.
Procedure
- Procedure takes less than one hour and typically does not require sedation.
- Blue Peel is applied to your face and neck, which will result in a mild burning sensation that lasts only a few minutes.
- Patients may experience a bluish tint to the skin that usually washes off in 12 to 24 hours.
- More than one peel may be needed to give the desired results.
Recovery
- Depending on the strength and depth, following the procedure patients will experience light swelling and within two to three days the skin will begin to peel.
- Peeling continues over the next several days, and by the seventh to tenth day the skin should be completely healed.
- The skin's appearance should continue to improve for the next four to six weeks.
Other Procedures
Insurance Considerations
- Obagi is considered a cosmetic procedure and therefore is not covered by insurance.
