Obagi® Blue Peel

Obagi® Blue Peel is a chemical peel that achieves optimum skin resurfacing by using slow-acting TCA to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new ones.

The Obagi® Blue Peel will have the greatest benefit on those who have blemish-prone skin, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, sun damage or general poor skin quality. Layers of dead skin cells exfoliate and are replaced by healthier ones allowing the skin’s own clarity and tightness to resurface.

How does an Obagi® Blue Peel work?

The Obagi® Blue Peel safely and effectively rejuvenates the outermost layers of skin by delivering a controlled chemical acid to the epidermis. The chemical peel resurfaces fine lines and wrinkles, lightens unwanted pigment, tightens skin and reduces pore size and laxity. ‍ The Obagi® Blue Peel is a one to four step application of blue solution mixed with TCA (Trichloracetic Acid). These applications will lead to the removal of thin surface layers of aged and damaged skin. Layers of dead skin cells exfoliate and are replaced by healthier ones allowing the skin’s own clarity and tightness to resurface.

What conditions can an Obagi® Blue Peel 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. An Obagi® Blue Peel is not a substitute for a facelift. It cannot eliminate excessive or lax skin. But, in many cases your physician may suggest that an Obagi® Blue Peel be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures.

What can I expect from my treatment?

Depending upon the condition of your skin, one to four coats of the Obagi® Blue Peel solution will be applied. Most people will not require sedation. If the Physician indicates sedation, you will need someone to drive you home. With the application of each coat, you will experience a mild burning sensation that lasts two to three minutes. The Physician may use an electric fan to minimize this sensation. A light bluish tint remains on your skin, but it will wash off in 12 to 24 hours. Your skin will begin to peel within two to three days and should be healed in seven to ten days. This peeling should not disrupt your regular lifestyle.

Will the Obagi® Blue Peel procedure damage my skin?

No. Peeling the skin lightly in a controlled manner will not cause any damage to the skin. There are no internal toxic effects (TCA is not absorbed through the skin).

How often should the procedure be performed for ideal Obagi® Blue Peel results?

Obagi® Blue Peel treatments can be performed at four-week intervals until the desired correction is achieved. Annual Blue Peels assist in the long-term maintenance of skin health and fitness. Deep scars and hyperpigmentation may need deeper peels or other treatment procedures.

What is a Vi Peel?

A Vi Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to enhance the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin. The solution peels away damaged outer skin layers to uncover new, fresh, and healthy skin. It is a gentle yet effective peel that will work on any kind of skin without long recovery periods in contrast to many other harsh chemical peels.

This peel is well suited for improvement of multiple skin issues like:

1) Fine lines and wrinkles
2) Acne and resulting scarring
3) Hyperpigmentation and damage from the sun
4) Large pores
5) Skin texture of rough or bumpy nature

At Allure Image Enhancement in Upland, we personalize the Vi Peel to you and your skin's needs to get maximum results with minimal discomfort.

After Your Vi Peel

Peeling of the skin along with some redness is quite common after a Vi Peel at Allure Image Enhancement. The red hue your skin takes on means the procedure is removing the damaged upper layers of skin. Here is a brief description of what to expect:

- Day 1-2: Your skin may feel tight and slightly red, sort of like a mild sunburn.
- Day 3-4: Peeling usually starts from around the mouth and then proceeds to cover the rest of the face.
- Days 5-7: For most people, this is the period during which peeling continues and new, fresher skin is visible.
- Day 7+: At this point most of the peeling will be over with, and a softer skin with more radiance shows up.

It is important to adhere to all the aftercare provided by your skin specialist: the avoidance of direct sun exposure, a gentle cleanser, and application of moisturizer are key elements for skin protection and the best possible results.
