Obagi Blue Peel™

Common Questions About Obagi Blue Peel

If you're looking to accelerate the transformation of your skin and are interested in a chemical peel procedure, then the Obagi Blue Peel System may be right for you. Blue Peel is conducted on site at The Centre, P.C. by our Obagi Specialist. The Obagi Nu-Derm System is often recommended to enhance the effects of the peel and to sustain healthier, younger-looking skin.

How It Works

Unlike common alpha-hydroxy peels or at-home procedures, the Blue Peel puts control of your treatment in professional hands. Based on your individual needs and skin condition, our Obagi Specialist determines the strength of the peel.

The Blue Peel uses trichloracetic acid (TCA) as the active ingredient mixed with the patented Blue Base from Obagi. Our Obagi Specialist will apply the Blue Peel based on your level of damage and your desired level of transformation.

In addition, The Centre, P.C. offers OxyMist healing treatments in conjunction with Obagi Blue Peel to produce smoother, tighter, more supple skin.

The Centre, P.C. also recommends the use of the VitaMedica Surgery Program, a comprehensive pre- and post-surgery nutritional supplement system designed specifically for patients undergoing aggressive peels.

What to Expect

The Blue Peel procedure takes less than an hour; sedation is not necessary but is sometimes recommended.The Obagi Specialist at The Centre, P.C. will apply the Blue Peel typically to your face and neck. A mild burning sensation will occur that generally lasts only a few minutes. Then you may experience a bluish tint to your skin that usually washes off in 12 to 24 hours. You will be advised on how many peels are needed to give the desired result.

Depending on the strength and depth following the procedure, 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 10th day, your skin should be healed.

Once your skin has completely recovered and is finished peeling, you will notice a visible improvement in your complexion. Your skin's appearance should continue to improve for the next four to six weeks, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking.
