Obagi Blue Peel – CAQ
How long will it take?
The Obagi Blue Peel procedure takes less than an hour in our office and does not typically require sedation. Dr. Gross 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. Your skin professional will advise you on how many peels are needed to give you the desired result.
What are the possible side effects of Obagi Blue Peel?
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 in a dry fashion. This peeling continues over the next several days. By the fifth to seventh day, your skin should be healed.
When can I expect to see final results?
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.
What should be expected during recovery?
Depending on the depth level of the Blue Peel, healing time is between 3 and 7 days. After the procedure, you will experience light swelling and your skin will begin to peel within 2 to 3 days.
