Normal after Obagi Blue Peel Radiance trratment, administered at a clinic (photo)

November 8, 2015
Asked By:mumof7kids in Scotland, United Kingdom

I had this done 4 days ago, was advided no down time but would experience redness and peeling. White fluid filled blisters formed around my mouth area on day 2 and 3. Some have leaked, some have dried out. Post treatment I was advised to cleanse and moisturise my skin with Cetaphil and use Heliocare spf of 50 and was tinted so redness wasnt noticable. I done this until day 3. I visited the clinic and was advised stop using and only clean face with saline liquid and apply aloe vera.

I got a Blue Peel 5 days ago and I'm not "peeling." Any suggestions?
Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS says:
