The Blue Peel, also known as the Obagi Blue Peel, invented by the doctor with the same name (Obagi) is a skin treatment that can give a gentle facelift and reduce wrinkles and dead skin cells, revealing a younger looking skin. The Blue Peel is often chosen instead of a facelift procedure, as the Blue Peel is a non surgical treatment that will have similar effects and significantly reduced risks.
Initial Results of Blue Peel
After the Blue Peel treatment, the skin will have a bluish hue and may be flaky for a few days. A moisturizing cream should be applied to reduce the flakiness. However, the skin flakes should not be removed, as this can lead to scarring. The patient should also avoid wearing makeup, which can irritate the skin, as the skin is more sensitive than usual.
After 5 to 7 days, the patient will be able to see:
- Fewer deep wrinkles and fine lines
- An improved texture of the skin
The Blue Peel treatment will reveal a radiant, younger looking skin.
Long Term Results of Blue Peel
The Blue Peel treatment will have similar effects as a facelift, but will not be as durable as a traditional face lift. On average, the duration of the effects of a Blue Peel treatment will be between 2 and 4 months. Patients that avoid sun exposure, have a balanced diet and avoid exposure to chemicals and other environmental factors that can damage the skin may preserve the effects of the Blue Peel for longer.
