How It Works

The Obagi Nu-Derm System, a medically-prescribed skin care system which accelerates the cellular turnover. This system penetrates deep to improve damage in layers of the skin. It boosts functions of the skin at the cellular level to improve skin's cellular function to help it look and act younger and healthier. The System triggers the Therapeutic Cascade™ of actions that:

• Pushes fresher cells to the surface faster resulting in smoother skin, and the reduction of wrinkles and increased tolerance
• Reduces mottled pigmentation (freckles and age spots) and helps prevent the appearance of new pigmentation
• Promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, more even skin tone
• Helps increase collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient looking skin
• Increases nutrients natural hydration and circulation for supple, healthy-looking skin

How It Works

Unlike common alpha-hydroxy peels or at-home procedures, the Obagi Blue Peel puts control of your treatment in professional hands. Based on your individual needs and skin condition, your skin professional determines the strength of the peel.

The Obagi Blue Peel uses Trichloracetic Acid (TCA) as the active ingredient mixed with the patented Blue Base from Obagi. Your skincare professional will apply the Obagi Blue Peel based on your level of damage and your desired level of Transformation.

What To Expect

The Obagi Blue Peel procedure takes less than an hour in your Physician's office and does not typically require sedation. Your skin professional 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.

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. This peeling continues over the next several days. By the seventh to tenth day, your skin should be healed.

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.

WARNINGS: The procedure for and use of TCA can only be performed by a licensed healthcare provider. Proper medical knowledge is essential to the performance of any TCA peel. The treating healthcare provider is responsible for informing a patient about potential medical risks and complications.

Your skin deserves all the protection you can give it from daily exposure to the sun's damaging rays and environmental conditions that cause premature aging. Visible signs of aging, those fine lines and wrinkles, are caused by tiny molecules known as "free radicals." Free radicals dramatically multiply with exposure to sun, air pollution and other environmental assaults, ravaging skin cells and breaking down collagen that gives skin its youthful resilience.
