The Obagi Blue Peel is an in-office procedure designed to significantly improve the appearance and health of your skin. The Obagi Blue Peel is a low concentration of the chemical trichloroacetic acid (TCA) mixed with a special blue base to slow penetration. The Obagi 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 body parts.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical Peel is a procedure in which chemical agents are applied to skin that is wrinkled, scarred or otherwise damaged. The chemical reacts with and exfoliates the damaged skin cell layer, leaving healthier younger looking skin.

Obagi Blue Peel

After years of developing and testing, the Obagi Blue Peel offers an improvement over most other chemical peels by enabling a physician to actually control the peel process and the depth it reaches in the skin. This flexibility and control represent a major breakthrough in skin health rejuvenation.

The Obagi Blue Peel, if repeated over a period of time, can achieve the same result as a deeper chemical peel or a laser. Healing occurs usually in just 7-10 days.
The Obagi Blue Peel is an effective procedure in helping maintain a lifestyle of healthy skin. It removes thin, surface layers of aged and damaged skin and promotes the creation of healthy new ones. The process will help to smooth the surface of your skin, improve skin tone and color, diminish wrinkles, as well as shrink pore size.

Your doctor can determine if the Blue Peel will be part of your skin health continuum. Your doctor will also decide how many peels are necessary to achieve the most beautiful result. (Most patients need 2-3 Obagi Blue Peels to achieve optimal skin health.)

The Obagi Nu-Derm regimen is used before and after the Blue Peel to precondition, as well as to help maintain the health of your skin.
