How to Maintain Results After the Obagi Blue Peel
Advertisement
The Obagi Blue Peel is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment for getting rid of acne scars, clearing up patches of pigmentation and treating sun damaged skin. The peel can deliver results within 24 hours after treatment, and you will notice results for several weeks and months after the procedure.
However, there are certain things you need to do in order to maintain results from this rigorous peel. Once the peeling period is over, you may need to make some slight modifications to your skincare regimen so that skin stays firm, clear and smooth.
How the Obagi Blue Peel Works
The Obagi Blue Peel is a simple procedure that involves applying a medical-grade peeling solution to the face and leaving it on for several minutes. The procedure itself only takes about 20 minutes, and you may experience a slight tingling sensation as the chemicals sink deep into the skin’s layers. Once the peel has settled into the skin, it will leave behind a slight bluish tint which will stay on the face until you wash it off approximately 12 hours later.
The skin will begin to peel within 48 to 72 hours after the procedure, and will be completely healed within a week. This deep exfoliating procedure may leave your skin more sensitive to the sun and slightly tender, but you will be able to wear sunscreen and makeup after the peeling cycle is complete. At the end of the healing period, you will notice your skin feels softer, smoother and more even toned.
Tips on Maintaining Results After the Obagi Blue Peel
In order to keep your skin looking clear and firm, you will need to maintain a consistent skincare regimen that will complement the Blue Peel procedure. Obagi makes a full line of skincare products that will further aid in the recovery process and help prevent further damage.
The Obagi Nu-Derm restoration system is a complete at-home program designed to work in conjunction with the Blue Peel and other chemical peels. The Nu-Derm system penetrates deep below the skin’s surface so that changes can occur at the cellular level. The system consists of a foaming gel cleanser, a gentle cleanser, a toner, a prescription-strength skin lightening solution, an alpha hydroxyl acid formulation to provide deep exfoliation, and SPF-infused treatments that help to correct an uneven skin tone and also protect the skin from UV damage.
Your skincare professional will be able to recommend a set of products from the Obagi Nu-Derm line to help you maintain result after the Blue Peel, and may also suggest other products to help nourish and moisturize your skin after the rigorous treatment. The top priority immediately after this procedure to prevent dehydration of the skin by using an emollient-rich moisturizer regularly, and also to protect the skin from UV damage.
