Obaji Blue Peel

The Blue Peel by Obaji is a medium deep TCA peel. TCA is trichloroacetic acid. The percentage/strength of the TCA depends on the practitioner. The Blue Peel exfoliates the skin allowing for tightening of the skin, improvement of fine lines, tightening of the pores and improvement of Hyperpigmentation, Melasma and sun damage.

A light to medium depth TCA peel for pigment and wrinkle treatment.

The Obagi Blue Peel is a light to medium depth TCA (trichloracetic acid peel) that can be applied in the office. The 'blue' is a carrier pigment that allows the physician to see where the chemical has been applied and to ensure even distribution. The goal is to lighten pigment spots and reduce fine wrinkles. It typically has a burning sensation that lasts for a few minutes after application. The recovery time is between five to seven days depending on the depth of the peel and results... more

It is a mild chemical peel

The Blue Peel is a trichloroacetic caid (TCA) peel that is color coded blue so the doctor knows where the peel has been applied. It is a relatively mild chemical peel that exfoliates the outer layers of the damaged skin.

This is chemical peel to remove dead skin and let new skin replace the old one. The peel itself is Trichloroacetic and has 15% strength. This peel is safe and effective and has 5-7 days of down time.

Obagi Blue Peel for Correction

The Obagi Blue peel is a mixture of TCA and Blue Peel Base. A 15% TCA is recommended for normal, sensitive, dry or thin skin for lighter exfoliation. A 20% is recommended for thicker skin or someone that needs more correction. The Blue Peel Base is formulated to slow down the penetration and allowing a smooth more even application.

Obagi Blue Peel

An Obagi Blue Peel is a chemical peel that uses TCA (trichloroacetic acid) to peel the superficial layers of the skin on the face. When properly applied by an experienced physician, it produces a "medium depth" chemical peel to rejuvenate the skin. I believe it to be a peel that is on the "mild" side of the medium depth peels available. It is quite simple to do (when expertly done) and should not be very expensive.
