Is Obagi Blue Peel Good for Enlarged Pores?

I advise patients to start twice daily Melarase cream for hyperpigmentation caused by TCA peels or other chemical peels.  This will help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM and Melarase PM will help reduce discoloration of the skin from post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

I would cease all prescription topical creams now that you know you are pregnant, unless they are specifically recommended by a knowledgeable physician. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

I use the Blue Peel for hyperpigmentation associated with melasma.  Patients are advised to use Melarase cream as a prep prior to peeling. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

I use the Melarase AM and Melarase PM protocol for my patients with PIH and hyperpigmentation that is either hormonal or sun related. Patients who need deeper penetration can add the RR Retinoid Repair creams to enhance action. Surgery90210

I perform the Obagi Blue Peel in conjunction with facial fillers and feel that there is no conflict in terms of interference with stimulatory filler action. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Rosacea has many causes. The deeper Blue Peels may actually exacerbate the redness associated with Rosacea, as will many laser and chemical peel treatments. In rosacea patients, I combine peels with pulsed dye laser afterwards. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
