Obagi Blue Peel

The most well known treatment of the Obagi Skin Care System is the famous blue peel. The peel is a blue chemical solution designed to delicately remove dead skin cells while restoring new ones. While the goal of all chemical peels is to improve the quality of dull, wrinkled, blemished prone or sun-damaged skin, the Obagi blue has several distinctions. Like other chemical peels, a licensed professional must administer it. But unlike others, the Obagi blue peel can be used on all different types of skin. The blue peel is also not glycolic based; instead it relies on the slower acting trichloracetic acid, which is not absorbed through the skin. The blue peel is also effective on more than the face; patients can also use it to refresh the skin on the chest neck, hands and legs. Plus recovery time is less than 10 days, compared with four weeks or more for other similar procedures.
