If you haven’t heard of the Obagi line of skin care products please allow me to introduce you to them. This is the premier line of creams, home treatments, spa and medi-spa treatments, preferred by professionals. Although the products are high end and expensive, they work better than most (and that is only personal opinion).

The Blue Peel is a chemical peel that includes both the ‘Nu Derm’ and Blender products from Obagi. The treatment was developed by Dr. Zein Obagi as a stronger and more effective chemical peel in the salon. The mixture is of Trichloroacetic Acid and blue glycerine in a patented and proprietary process.

You may be advised to have anywhere between 1 and 4 peels which may or may not be applied at one visit. This is, of course, dependant on your condition and the physician’s advice. In most cases if you have more than one application applied at a time you may want or need a local anaesthetic before the treatment. In most cases you will likely be consulted to have a double peel which gives great effect without anaesthetic.

The interesting part about the blue glycerin and acid peel is that every coat or layer applied turns the peel a darker blue and one more layer of your skin is removed. The end result? Removal of damaged skin leaving a tighter, smoother and brighter skin below.

Final Effect of the Blue Peel

The Obagi Blue Peel is a regulated chemical peel performed only by trained physicians. The removed, damaged skin sloughs off in an even manner. When your skin has finished the treatment you will find a new and improved skin tone and complexion that will continue to improve over the course of one to one and a half months.

Over the next few weeks I will be posting one to two articles per day on the various skin care treatments available at the spa, clinic, medi-spa and the various substitute at home treatments. It is important to note that new practices are introduced regularly in this field so if you’ve heard about a procedure and you don’t find it here, drop me a line and I’ll do the research for you in an upcoming post.

Once I have completed the information on clinical and home treatments I will begin reviewing products for you. These will be based on my own personal use as well as recommendations and reviews from friends. If you have any information of notable quality that you want to share regarding anti-aging, wrinkle, acne or resurfacing procedures, just drop a comment below and I will follow up with you via email. In 2010 I will be awarding the best user-submitted content a special gift so don’t forget to leave your mailing address with me in our email correspondence. I’ll need to send you the gift by postal mail.
