The OBAGI Blue Peel™ is a new innovation for restoring healthier and more beautiful skin. Unlike Glycolic Acid and Alpha Hydroxy peels, the OBAGI Blue Peel™ uses a slow-acting TCA (trichloroacetic acid) solution applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells. Since TCA is not absorbed through the skin, there are no internal toxic effects.
The slow action of the OBAGI Blue Peel™ solution enables Dr. Hopping to control the peel process and its depth. It tightens the skin, reduces wrinkling and renews a more youthful appearance.
Your Consultation
During your consultation, remember to tell Dr. Hopping about any history of viral infections, sensitivity to the sun, or prior skin treatments including dermabrasion or Accutane treatments within the past six months. Also, explain the level of skin improvement you wish to achieve. Dr. Hopping reviews your medical history and examines your skin type and pigmentation to determine how many OBAGI Blue Peels™ will be required.
Unlike laser peels, OBAGI Blue Peels™ can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands and even the arms and legs.
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.
Treatment
OBAGI Blue Peels™ take 25 to 30 minutes and are performed on an outpatient basis in our AAAHC-certified center, usually without sedation. Depending on your skin type and the desired results, you will probably require from one to four coats of OBAGI Blue Peel™ solution applied to various areas of skin.
Once applied, the OBAGI Blue Peel™ produces a separation and peeling of the outer layers of the skin. Most patients experience a warm to hot sensation, which may last as long as two to three minutes, followed by a stinging sensation.
