What is the Obagi Blue Peel®?

The Obagi Peel is an in-office procedure designed to significantly improve the appearance and health of your skin. Using a low concentration of the chemical tricholoracetic acid (TCA) mixed with a special blue base to slow penetration, the Blue Peel allows the provider to monitor the appropriate depth to effectively remove the thin surface layers of aged and damaged skin from the face or other parts of the body. These dead skin cells are replaced by healthier ones, allowing the skin's own clarity and tightness to resurface.

What should I do prior to having an Obagi Blue Peel®?

To achieve optimal results the patient should be on the obagi skin care nuderm system for at least 4-6 weeks prior to the peel to prep the skin before the actual peel.

Who Should Consider An Obagi Blue Peel®?

Anyone who wants to look better and reverse the appearance of the aging process. Those who have blemish-prone skin, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, sun damage, or general poor skin quality will benefit the most.

How Is The Obagi Blue Peel® Different Than The Alpha Hydroxy Products Used By Doctors And Aestheticians Today?

The Obagi Blue Peel represents a breakthrough and significant improvement in skin rejuvenation. Using slow acting TCA*, instead of glycolic acid, the Obagi Blue Peel enables the physician to control the peel process and its depth. The process is tailored to the nature of the problem to be corrected: wrinkles, scars, laxity or pigmentation problems.
*Obagi Medical Products does not manufacture nor distribute TCA .

Will The Obagi Blue Peel® Procedure Damage My Skin?

No. Peeling the skin lightly in a controlled manner will not cause any damage to the skin. There are no internal toxic effects.

What Can I Expect?

Depending upon the condition of your skin, 1-4 coats of the Obagi Blue Peel solution will be applied. Most people will not require sedation. If the doctor indicates sedation, you will need someone to drive you home. At each level, you will experience a mild burning sensation that lasts 2 to 3 minutes. The doctor may use an electric fan to minimize this sensation. A bluish tint remains on your skin: it will usually wash off in 12 to 24 hours. Your skin will begin to peel within 2 to 3 days and should be healed in an average of 7 to 10 days. This peeling should not disrupt your normal lifestyle.

Can the Obagi Blue Peel® Procedure Be Used To Treat Other Parts Of My Body?
