Areas of the Body that Blue Peel Treats

The blue peel procedure was invented by Dr. Obagi in California and can help improve the look of your face, neck and other areas by fading acne and age spots. The blue peel can rejuvenate your skin, reducing your wrinkles and giving you young and healthier looking skin.

Areas of the Body that Blue Peel Treats

Blue peel is recommended for small areas of the body. The blue peel procedure can be performed on the face, neck, cleavage, arms or back—areas where age spots and acne may be visible.

A cosmetic surgeon can determine your problem area and apply the blue peel treatment more intensively in these areas.

The blue peel solution contains a 20% trichloracetic acid (TCA) and an ionic base that is blue. The solution will be applied in 1 to 4 coats, depending on the severity of the acne or how visible the age spots are.

The procedure lasts 30 minutes on average and is an outpatient treatment.

The blue peel procedure is recommended for women and men over the age of 35, but may be applied to younger people with acne problems.

If you are a good candidate for blue peel, do some online research and find a cosmetic surgeon and get an appointment.
