What is a Obagi 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. 

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 desired.
Multiple treatments can be used to treat mild acne scarring, but other modalities (fractional resurfacing) are often times more effective.
