What Is The Obagi Blue Peel?
The OBAGI BLUE PEEL is one to four step application of blue solution mixed with TCA (Thrichloroacetic Acid). These applications will lead to the removal of thin surface layers of aged and damaged skin. Layers of dead skin cells exfoliate and are replaced by healthier ones allowing the skin's own clarity and tightness to resurface.

Who Should Consider An Obagi Blue Peel?
Anyone who wants to look better and reverse the appearance of the aging process. Those who have blemish-prone skin, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, sun damage or general poor skin quality will benefit the most. If you are pregnant, please consult with your physician first.

How Is The Blue Peel Different Than The Alpha Hydroxy Products Used By Doctors And Aestheticians Today?
The BLUE PEEL represents a breakthrough and significant improvement in skin rejuvenation. Using slow acting TCA, instead of glycolic acid, the BLUE PEEL enables the physician to control the peel process and its depth. The process is tailored to the nature of the problem to be corrected: wrinkles, scars, laxity or pigmentation problems.

Will The Obagi Blue Peel Procedure Damage My Skin?
No. Peeling the skin lightly in a controlled manner will not cause any damage to the skin. There are no internal toxic effects (TCA is not absorbed through the skin).

How Many Blue Peels Can Be Done?
Your doctor will determine how many peels are necessary to achieve the desired result. In most cases the procedures take 25-30 minutes.

What Can I Expect?
Depending upon the condition of your skin, 1-4 coats of the Obagi BLUE PEEL solution will be applied. Most people will not require sedation. If the doctor indicates sedation, you will need someone to drive you home.

At each level, you will experience a mild burning sensation that lasts 2-3 minutes. The doctor may use an electric fan to minimize this sensation. A light bluish tint remains on your skin, but it will wash off in 12 to 24 hours. Your skin will begin to peel within 2 to 3 days and should be healed in an average to 7 to 10 days. This peeling should not disrupt your regular lifestyle.

Can The Obagi Blue Peel Procedure Be Used To Treat Other Parts Of The Body?
Yes. The OBAGI BLUE PEEL can be performed on the neck, chest, hands, back, arms, and legs using the same technique as for the face. Discuss the benefits and process with your physician.

Can I Do The Obagi Blue Peel Procedure Myself?
No, the BLUE PEEL is a medical procedure and must be performed by a physician or a properly trained specialist working under his/her supervision.

How Often Should The Obagi Blue Peel Procedure Be Performed?
Obagi BLUE PEEL treatments can be performed in 4 week intervals until the desired correction is achieved. Annual Blue Peels assist in the long term maintenance of skin health and fitness. NOTE: Deep scars and hyperpigmentation may need deeper peels and/or other treatment modalities.

Can I Apply Make-Up After An Obagi Blue Peel?
Generally, make-up is not recommended for the first 7 to 10 days or until the skin has completely peeled. More specific information will be supplied by your health care professional.

Obagi NU-DERM Cream Program for Skin Health© Restoration

Created and Developed To Deliver Medically Proven Results...Available Only Through Specially Trained Medical Offices.

The Obagi NU-DERM Cream Program to restore Skin Health, is built on the concepts developed from years of clinical research by Dr. Zein E. Obagi, a leading and innovative dermatologist. His methods and techniques are taught all over the world to plastic surgeons, dermatologists and medical specialists. The program emphasizes the unique concepts of correction and stimulation of the skin, which lead to regulating and strengthening skin functions to produce collagen, elastin, healthier skin cells. This leads to smooth, firm skin, with even color tone for a younger and healthier looking skin.

Penetrate the Skin to Stimulate and Correct

Conventional skin care creams and lotions are unable to deliver their ingredients to an effective depth, and for that reason they are therapeutically weak. They may give the illusion or the feel of improving some skin problems, but most of their action is wasted on the surface. In short, they can't and are not designed to restore Skin Health.

Obagi NU-DERM can deliver Needed Penetration Beyond The Surface Layer

Regular creams work only on skin surface with ineffective penetration or renewal ability, while Obagi NU-DERM restores and renews skin surface and other skin layers.

You can trust the Obagi NU-DERM Cream Program. It is the only proven treatment designed to provide a tighter, smoother, healthier, younger looking skin, regardless of age, color or skin type.

A Program for You

Healthy skin is defined by Dr. Obagi as smooth and firm, even in color tone and free of damage or medical problems. Skin Health can be created by using the Obagi NU-DERM cream program principles.

• Enhancing is the skin's ability to respond to treatment in a process of cleaning and toning...and to keep the skin's pH normal.
  
• Correction is designed to correct skin disorders and problems, and to restore visible purity to the skin surface.
  
• Stimulation restores skin elasticity, enhances the production of collagen, and replaces old damaged cells. Moisturizing is a process necessary if you have dry skin; moisturizers are needed on occasion or not at all when Skin Health is restored.
  
• Prevention of sun damage by using specially created creams which do not clog your pores as most sunscreens do. The special formulas protect and treat as they help prevent skin spots and pigmentation problems.
  
• Maintenance is a program to keep your skin in a healthy state when correction and stimulation have been achieved. You may stay on the maintenance program indefinitely.

This unique and exclusive approach has helped thousands of patients all over the world, and it can do the same for you. We invite you to benefit from this effective and medically proven program.

Parisian Peel^® Microdermabrasion

The Parisian Peel is the newest skin resurfacing technique available to counter the effects of aging and acne. It's not a chemical, not a laser, and not a surgical procedure.

This procedure of microdermabrasion gently resurfaces the skin by directing a stream of very fine crystals and mild suction exactly where needed on your skin. The gentle abrasive action of the crystals combines with the suction to remove the dead outer layer of your skin, exposing smoother softer skin. This treatment works more aggressively than topical Alpha-hydroxy acid peels to reduce or even erase fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation changes and age spots, or the effects of acne. Unlike the laser or chemical peels, the Parisian Peel works well on all colors of skin.

Visible results can be seen after one treatment. However, best results are achieved after a series of treatments approximately two weeks apart. You will feel minimal discomfort and can return to your daily activities immediately.

It's time to treat your skin to a Parisian Peel, the gentle approach to skin renewal. Restore the beauty that is you!
