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.
