What Can Limit or Prevent Blue Peel Results?

Tags: chest, face, neck
I recenty had a blue peel on my face, neck and chest. Most of my face & neck didn't peel at all or had very light peeling (like a sunburn). My chest hasn't peeled and doesn't seem at day 5 that it's going to peel.
I had a few patches on my face that formed dry brownish skin that peeled & left pink skin. This is what I expected all over. I feel that something went wrong in my application. What in the application process can limit results (timing, uneven application, limited time on skin)? Thanks.

Minimal Results from a Blue Peel
It sounds as if your peel was a very light one. All of the factors in the application process you mentioned (and more) can limit the results. I believe that all TCA peels (such as a Blue Peel) should be done by experienced physicians only.

It's not the peel, its the Peeler!
You did not say if this was done by a physician, nor do I know what kind of pre-treatment protocol or prep was done to the skin. Blue peel is a proprietary TCA peel often delegated to staff. The color changes with varying penetration to help a non-physician better guess the depth of penetration. You obviously received a light peel. Many of them, sequentially over months, will give a lovely glow to the skin and dark spots and pores will be reduced. You may want a heavier peel for more...
