The Prep for an Obagi Blue Peel is Essential
To get the best results from any chemical peel, especially a mid strength one such as an Obagi Blue Peel, the prep is an essential part of the peel. Prepping the skin will make the peel penetrate more evenly and more predictably, and should result in faster healing time. Using the Obagi NuDerm system with tretinoin cream for at least 4 to 6 weeks prior to the peel is optimal. At the very least you should be using tretinoin cream for one month before the peel.

Obagi Blue Peel Preparation with or without Nu-Derm
Hi rebb in Vero Beach, FL,
The Obagi Blue Peel is typically a TCA peel, which may result in a superficial or medium depth chemical peel. As with any skin resurfacing or chemical peel, preparation and post-treatment care is essential to maximize results and reduce risks. The Nu Derm system helps prepare the skin largely due to the tretinoin and skin lightening agents. Without skin preparation, your cosmetic results may not be as optimal or the recovery may not be as ideal.
