Obagi Blue Peel Radiance

It is a light chemical peel that exfoliates the surface layers of the skin leaving tighter, brighter and smoother skin after just one peel.
It is a superficial 20% salicylic acid peel with 1.4% glycolic acid and 1.76% lactic acid used to treat many skin conditions including fine lines and wrinkles, rough uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, acne and acne scarring.
It can be used on a variety of skin types and for best results it is recommended to have a course of 4-6 treatments. There is little to no down time and is the perfect treatment to achieve quick, glowing skin and improve your overall complexion.
You will have an initial consultation with Dr Chloe to discuss your aesthetic goals, in particular paying attention to skin quality and Dr Chloe will assess your suitability for the Obagi Blue Peel Radiance treatment ensuring you are aware of the pre and post-peel skin care advice and what to expect from the peel.
After talking you through what to expect and fully consenting you for the treatment, Dr Chloe will prepare your skin with a cleanser and skin prep formula, apply the peel, and then cleanse your skin, apply SPF and hydrating cream after the peel. The You might get some redness of the skin during and after the peel which will settle within a day or two and occasionally you might get some peeling of the skin after the peel leaving glowing fresh skin.
The appointment time will be 30-45 minutes depending on if it is your first peel or not and on your skin sensitivity. The peel itself will be on your skin for 10-12 minutes during this time.
For 7 days prior to your peel do not have laser hair removal / waxing / depilatory cream / electrolysis on the peel treatment areas.
For 3 days prior to your peel stop all topical retinoids, avoid other topical acids such as AHA/BHA, and no other exfoliants.
After your peel it is important to use daily SPF 50 to protect the skin. Avoid any topical retinoids/topical acids for a week after to allow your skin barrier to repair and reduce sensitivity.
As it is a chemical exfoliation peel there might be some stinging or mild discomfort of the skin when the peel is applied. Dr Chloe will monitor your pain levels throughout the treatment and adjust the treatment according to your skin sensitivity.
