I bought the package and after 10 days my pigmentation completely cleared up . I couldn’t be more happy . Wit the cebatrol made a difference to my skin. The dryness and redness is a bummer but with revitatrol cream is getting better.very good prod !! The down side is hat they at expensive and now I have to lowly replace the hidroquinone with Other pack with C Vitamine cream and that is even a bigger hole in the pocket but thinkin the water money before on not effective treatments, it is worth it
Amazing doctor. Dr. Obagi and Dr. Bashey are just phenomenal. When I go to their office I never feel rushed or hurried- they take their time and explain things so thoroughly. I am on a skincare program now and am seeing great changes in my skin but I will for certain be doing the blue peel soon and will post with updates.
I have been doing Botox for years. I love that it relaxes the muscles around my eyes and forehead helping me with headaches. I also love the benefit of relaxing my wrinkles. Obagi was very specific with the placement of the Botox and it lasted longer than previous injections from other physicians in the past.
I've read all the comments, and I all have to say is, "What are your doctors doing?" Obagi does my blue peel himself. The procedure is over $3,000. It requires general anesthetic. There are products you must use prior-which do make you look awful. I had it done in 2009. It takes AT LEAST 10-15 days for the peeling to stop and one can go out. Dr. Obagi told me this before the procedure. Then, you look like you've sat too close to the sun for about another 2-3 weeks. Thereafter, you look gorgeous. I'm having it done again. It took a decade off my face and cleared up so many problems. How can it possibly be done for $300-$1000? You could not have gotten the complete and proper peel.
Before we do any peels, on all patients of all skin types, we prep the skin aggressively. We also have a comprehensive skincare program for patients after the peel to help control pigmentation that in many cases is expected in some skin types. Eventually the pigmentation will likely fade but you should make sure your dermatologist has placed you on a comprehensive skincare program post-peel.
At 72, you would still potentially be a candidate for a peel. I would suggest you see a dermatologist for a formal evaluation where you can review your health history and any medications or issues that may prevent you from receiving this treatment.
Our office sees patients with melasma from all over the world. We specialize in it. Melasma requires a comprehensive cream program, chemical peels, and sun avoidance. We have great success treating melasma this way and then maintaining creams to prevent the pigmentation from returning. Our controlled depth peel is one great modality used to control melasma for patients who seek perfection. We also have the 3 step peel which significantly helps pigment control when used with the cream program.
First- you must make sure your doctor is treating your rosacea correctly. Constant use of antibiotics ends up making rosacea worse in the long run.
For the redness of rosacea, A PDL (laser) can also be used very well but needs to be repeated once per month to help control it. Sunscreen and avoiding heat/saunas, etc also help with the redness.
Many years ago, full C02 laser ablation was utilized a lot. But we were seeing a lot of side effects like scarring, pigmentation issues, persistent redness, and a marble like quality to the skin. Now with fractional laser ablation technology- resurfacing can be performed in a much more safer way. In my practice, we utilize fractional laser resurfacing for its safety and efficacy.
