Obagi Blue Peels for Younger-Looking Skin – Minneapolis St. Paul, MN

Chemical peels are a popular treatment to improve the appearance of skin on the face, neck and chest. Unlike over-the-counter peel products, which produce only superficial, limited improvements, medically supervised skin peels can only be performed by medical professionals. They are very effective for many skin problems, and can produce dramatic results. Among the products we offer for this procedure is Obagi Blue Peel, a type of trichloroacetic acid peel. Depending on the depth of peel desired, our clients report outstanding improvements from these treatments. Like all clinical treatments, some preparation is required before treatment and most people schedule some time away from work and social activities to allow sufficient recovery.

Is an Obagi Blue Peel Right for You?

Your skin type and condition are unique to you. If you are concerned about fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, pigmentation problems or sun-damaged skin, this procedure might be an ideal way to improve those conditions. A thorough evaluation of your skin and condition by an experienced medical skin care professional is the first step at our medical spa, based in Minneapolis St. Paul. Some skin types and pigmentations respond better to this procedure than to others, and some individuals tolerate these treatments better than others. After our analysis, we’ll advise you about your options and help you select the product, the right depth and explain what preparations are needed. We’ll also fully inform you about what to expect during and after your treatment and give you information on the cost of all options.

How Obagi Blue Peel Treatments Improve Skin Appearance

Your skin is made up of multiple layers. Chemical peels work through the process of exfoliation, which removes the outer layers of the skin, using pharmaceutical grade acidic chemicals. Different skin conditions affect different layers of the skin, so the target treated depth depends on your specific condition and skin type. During the treatment, one or more layers of Blue Peel will be applied precisely and carefully by a clinician. For several days after the treatment, the peeling process continues. Your old, blemished skin will peel away, exposing fresh, new smooth skin. This procedure can be very effective for treating:

• Acne Scarring
• Fine Wrinkles and Lines
• Skin Pigmentation Problems
• Sun and Light-Damaged Areas
• Improving Skin Tone
• Tightens Skin Surface

What to Expect After the Procedure

After a thorough skin evaluation, if an Obagi Blue Peel treatment is recommended, we can schedule one or more treatments. You may be given instructions for specific preparations before your appointment. On the day of your procedure, the area to be treated will be carefully cleansed, and one or more layers of the Obagi Blue Peel product will be applied carefully in layers, as planned and discussed with you in advance. During the brief treatment, you may feel a sensation of heat. A fan may be used to provide a cooling breeze. After the treatment time has passed, the product will be removed and neutralized. You’ll see a blue coloration that persists on your skin, and that may be darker in some areas than others.

After the treatment, you’ll be advised to stay completely out of the sun, and to avoid touching your face. You’ll get detailed instructions on how to care for your skin as the process continues. Over the next few days, your skin may feel much as it does when you are sunburned. You may experience some tightness, redness, itching and discomfort, which can be eased with simple remedies recommended by us. After three or four days, the treated skin will begin to peel, revealing smooth, pink, new skin. Once the peeling is complete in a day or two, you’ll be able to apply makeup again and you’ll see the full effects of the treatment as more time passes. You’ll probably want to schedule a few days away from work and social events during the initial healing process.

Even though chemical skin peels can be somewhat uncomfortable and require some downtime, the appearance improvements that come following the healing process can be quite dramatic. An Obagi Blue Peel is not a process that produces instant results. In some cases, a total treatment plan may require additional treatments to produce the desired effect. We’ll give you complete information on what you can expect from your peel and how much time the entire process will take, so you can plan your schedule in advance.

How Much Do Obagi Blue Peel Treatments Cost?

During your evaluation and consultation, we’ll give you an accurate price quote for your Obagi treatment plan. The price of your procedure will depend on the desired depth of the peel and on the number of treatments required to get the improvements you desire. Our clients tell us that the outstanding results they see are more than worth the cost. Our extensive experience with these products and our professional medical training assure you of excellent improvements in the appearance and healthy look of your skin.
