Obagi Blue Peel
What is Obagi Blue Peel?
The Obagi Blue Peel is a chemical peel treatment offered by the skincare company Obagi Medical. It is a medium-depth peel that is designed to improve the appearance of the skin by targeting various skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sun damage.
The Obagi Blue Peel uses a blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) mixed with a blue base to monitor depth and uniformity of application. The peel works by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, promoting the growth of new skin cells and collagen production, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
It is important to note that chemical peels like the Obagi Blue Peel should be performed by trained skincare professionals or dermatologists to ensure safety and optimal results. Prior to undergoing any chemical peel treatment, it is recommended to consult with a skincare specialist to determine if it is suitable for your skin type and concerns.
