What does it treat?
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.
How does it work?
The Obagi Blue Peel is a superior chemical peel that achieves optimum skin resurfacing by using slow-acting TCA (trichloroacetic acid) to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new ones. The Obagi Blue Peel is considered a “medium depth” facial peel because it is stronger than the popular Glycolic Acid Peel and requires less recovery time than a full Laser Resurfacing, therefore falling in-between the two treatments with respect to results and recovery time.
The Obagi skin care system can transform your skin by improving the appearance of blemishes, age spots, wrinkles, and scars. This treatment exfoliates layers of dead skin cells to reveal the healthy cells beneath. It promotes and restores healthy skin and can remove many of the sun damage spots and fine lines.
Skin preparation with the full Nuderm system for at least 12 weeks is mandatory. A post procedure protocol must be followed. Ongoing skin treatment recommended by your clinician needs to be planned for to optimise your results.
