CHEMICAL PEELS: OBAGI BLUE PEELS
Obagi
The Obagi Blue Peel is a chemical peel specially designed for facial skin. It is used to treat facial lines, uneven pigmentation, scars, acne and blemishes. Unlike other chemical peels, the Obagi Blue peel contains slow acting tricholoreacetic acid (TCA), which allows the practitioner to control peel penetration to appropriate levels. Mostly, Obagi Blue peels are superficial to moderate depth peels. Blue peel rarely produces redness or inflammation so you can thus resume your normal life soon after the procedure.The Blue Peel can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, back, arms and legs.

Skin conditioning begins approximately six weeks prior to the treatment. Application of the peel takes about 20 minutes. Immediately after application, there may be stinging for 2 – 3 minutes, which is helped by the use of a fan.
