I Had Sculptra & Radiasse Injected 4weeks Ago, will the Obaji Blue Peel Effect Their Results?

Question

I am in the middle of completeing my sculptra injections (and just had 1 radiasse injection too)I would like to do the obaji blue peel to remove wrinkles around the eyes and mouth and reduce my pore size. However, I would like to know if the blue peel will effect/ruin my results with the sculptra? Should I wait to complete the sculptra injections and if so how long should I wait to do the blue peel?

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

There are different protocols for either method. Some perform facial fillers at the same setting as the Obagi Blue peel.I perform them on different visits, spaced at least 3 days apart.

Pamela B. Rosen, MD · Answer

It is not a problem to have an Obagi Blue Peel after receiving injectable fillers such as Sculptra, Radiesse, Juvederm, or Restylane.  If you were to have certain laser procedures performed, they might cause the fillers to degrade more rapidly.  The Blue Peel, however, is a very superficial TCA peel (TriCloroAcetic Acid), and will not reach into the deeper tissues where the filler resides.  On the other hand, because the Blue Peel is so superficial, you may not see a tremendous amount of improvement in your fine lines after the procedure. Also, I would not advise doing the peel on the same day as any injectable treatments.

Carolyn Jacob, MD · Answer

Fillers work deep in or under the skin to provide volume and will not be affected by chemical peeling or degraded by LASERS.  You should do great! Best to you.

David A. Bray, Sr., MD · Answer

The answer is no. The blue peel is a medium deep peel with very good results but, does not reach the depth that fillers do.
