The Obagi Blue Peel is an in-office procedure designed to significantly improve the appearance and health of your skin. Using a low concentration of the chemical trichloroacetic acid (TCA) mixed with a special blue base to slow penetration, the Blue Peel allows your doctor 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. The procedure is performed by your own doctor, who has specialized training and experience with this highly effective peel. The Obagi Blue Peel along with Obagi Nu-Derm System may correct and stimulate all nine key problems of damaged skin. It will: Diminish fine lines and wrinkles Increase smoothnes Reduce pore size Improve elasticity Generate a balanced, even skin tone Normalize oil reduction Reduce age spots and/or hyper pigmentation Increase skin tolerance to all external factors Increase the skins own ability to hold moisture The Blue Peel allows your doctor to control the depth of the peel and the number of coats applied in order to tailor the process to your skin's specific needs. The Obagi Blue Peel can even be performed on the neck, chest, hands, back, arms and legs. The Blue Peel is a quick, relatively simple and highly tolerable procedure that does not require sedation. Application of the Blue Peel takes about 20 minutes, depending on the number of coats the doctor has determined are necessary to achieve your goals. You will experience a mild burning sensation that lasts two to three minutes. Immediately after the procedure, a bluish tint remains on your skin, which will usually wash off in 12 to 24 hours. Dr. Shek can explain the process to you in greater detail when you make your consultation appointment.
