A
chemically superior peel that achieves
optimum skin resurfacing alone or
in conjunction with CO2 laser or dermabrasion.
Formulated by internationally
renowned dermatologist and chemical
peel expert Dr. Zein Obagi, Blue Peel
safely and effectively expands your
powers of skin rejuvenation.
The Obagi Blue Peel rarely produces
erythema or inflammation. Blue Peel
healing is relatively painless and occurs
within seven to ten days.
Blue Peel Is More Comfortable Than Other
Skin Resurfacing Procedures
After the Obagi Blue Peel, there is
light peeling as after a sunburn. After
Blue Peel, skin may exhibit a slight
blue tint or redness which fades within
seven to ten days.
WHAT IS THE 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.
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.
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 (TCA is not absorbed through
the skin).
HOW MANY OBAGI BLUE PEELS CAN
BE DONE?
Our doctors will determine how many
peels are necessary to achieve the desired
result. In most cases the procedure
takes 25-30 minutes.
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 regular
lifestyle.
CAN THE OBAGI BLUE PEEL PROCEDURE
BE USED TO TREAT OTHER PARTS OF THE
BODY?
Yes. The Obagi BLUE PEEL can be performed
on the neck, chest, hands, back, arms
and legs using the same technique as
for the face. Discuss the benefits and
process with your physician.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE OBAGI BLUE
PEEL PROCEDURE BE PERFORMED?
Obagi BLUE PEEL treatments can be performed
in 4 week intervals until the desired
correction is achieved. Annual Obagi
BLUE PEELS assist in the long-term maintenance
of skin health and fitness. NOTE: Deep
scars and hyperpigmentation may need
deeper peels and/or other treatment
modalities.
CAN I APPLY MAKE-UP AFTER AN
OBAGI BLUE PEEL?
Generally, make-up is not recommended
for the first 7 to 10 days or until
the skin has completely peeled. More
specific information will be supplied
by your health care professional.
