Obagi Blue Peel
Experience the transformative effects of the Obagi Blue Peel. With a healing time of only seven to ten days, this peel exfoliates, refines, and rejuvenates your skin, unveiling a tighter, smoother, luminous, and more youthful complexion. The Obagi Blue Peel is a superior chemical peel that achieves optimum skin resurfacing by using slow-acting TCA (trichloroacetic acid) applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new ones. Especially formulated for patients who desire dramatic results, this peel features built-in controls to promote superior outcomes – the TCA is mixed with a patented blue base which acts as a color guide to allow for even penetration and signals depth of the peel so that it can be customized to each patient’s individual needs. The slow action of the Obagi Blue Peel solution enables Dr Hudson to control the peel process and its depth. The Obagi Blue Peel is considered a medium depth facial peel requiring less recovery time than a full laser resurfacing. This peel can be performed on the face as well as the neck, arms, hands, and legs. Dead skin cells are removed revealing fresh, healthy skin allowing the skin’s own clarity and tightness to resurface. The Obagi Blue Peel can transform your skin by improving the appearance of blemishes, age spots, hyperpigmentation, skin laxity, wrinkles, enlarged pore, and scars. An Obagi Blue Peel can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, shallow acne scars, sun-damaged skin, and freckling. By effectively minimizing the appearance of uneven skin tone and ensuring pore purity, Obagi Blue Peel’s unique formula restores a youthful radiance to your skin.

How it works
The Obagi Blue Peel safely and effectively rejuvenates the outermost layers of skin by delivering a controlled trichloroacetic acid to the epidermis. The chemical peel resurfaces fine lines and wrinkles, lightens unwanted pigment, tightens skin, and reduces pore size and laxity. The Obagi Blue peel is a one to four step application of blue solution mixed with TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid). These applications will lead to the removal of thin surface layers of aged and damaged skin. Depending on the strength and depth of the procedure, following the peel 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 finished peeling, you will notice a visible improvement in your complexion. Your skin’s appearance should continue to improve over the next four to six weeks, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier, and more youthful looking.
faqs
Unlike alpha-hydroxy peels or other superficial treatments, the Blue Peel allows Dr Hudson the ability to control the depth of the peel, and the number of layers applied to tailor the process to your skin’s specific needs. Plus, the Obagi Blue Peel can be performed on the neck, chest, hands, back, arms and legs.
Application of the Obagi Blue Peel takes about 25 to 30 minutes to perform depending on the number of layers Dr Hudson determines necessary to achieve your goals. Depending on your skin type and the desired results, you will require from 1 to 4 layers of the Obagi Blue Peel solution applied to various areas of skin. Once applied, most patients experience a warm to hot sensation, which may last as long as 2 to 3 minutes, followed by a mild stinging sensation. The stinging subsides as the peel self neutralizes. Clients may experience a mild burning sensation that lasts two to three minutes. Dr Hudson will use cool air from the Cryo chiller to minimize and alleviate discomfort. Immediately after the procedure, a bluish tint remains on your skin, which will usually wash off in 12 – 24 hours. Your skin will begin to peel within two to three days and should be healed in seven to ten days. This peeling should not disrupt your regular lifestyle.
Once your skin has finished peeling, you will immediately notice the dramatic results of your newly improved complexion. Your skin’s appearance will continue to improve over the next 4 to 6 weeks, becoming firmer, clearer smoother, healthier, and more youthful looking.
Following the Obagi Blue peel, you will experience light swelling, and your skin will begin peeling within 2 to 3 days. Peeling will continue over the next several days and should be completed in an average of 7 to 10 days. Peeling should not disrupt your regular lifestyle for long, although you may want to limit your normal activity. The recovery time is relatively painless.
The use of makeup is strongly discouraged after the Obagi Blue Peel treatment since certain makeup products may put the patient at risk of complications. To best aid in the recovery process, makeup should only be applied once the skin is completely healed which is normally seven to ten days or until the skin has completely peeled.
Most patients achieve stellar results following a single treatment. However, when repeated over a period of time, the Obagi Blue Peel can produce results equal to those of a deeper peel while requiring less recovery time (i.e., five to ten days). Dr Hudson will advise you how many peels are necessary to provide you the desired result. In most cases, one to three Blue Peels can achieve dramatic improvements for most skin problems and conditions. The peel can be repeated in 6-to-8-week intervals until your desired goals are reached.
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.
