Obagi Blue Peel Side Effects

is the blue peel safe or are there side effects i should be careful of?

A: Peel Side Effects

It is important to understand that a Blue Peel is a deeper layer peel. These are significantly different than the peels you can purchase over the counter. In our office San Francisco area office they are administered only by the plastic sugeons.

With these stronger peels you can have any of the following (which Dr. Karamanoukian has summarized quite well):

Pain
Herpetic outbreak
Uneven penetration of the agent
Uneven skin depigmentation or peeling
Scarring.

Be sure that you are under the care of a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

I hope this helps.
