Never have so many women been so blue yet so happy.

When it comes to your skin, there are many reasons to get the blues - blemishes, acne scars, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation and sun damage, to name a few. If you want healthier, smoother looking skin, now there's a way to dramatically improve your complexion, in just a day. It all starts with the Blue Peel.

What is the Obagi Blue Peel?
The Blue Peel is an in-office procedure designed to significantly improve the appearance and health of your skin. Using a low concentration of the chemical tricholoracetic acid (TCA) mixed with a special blue base to slow penetration, the Blue Peel allows monitoring of the appropriate depth to effectively remove the thin surface layers of and damaged skin from the face or other parts of the body. These dead skin cells are replaced by healthier ones, allowing the skin's own clarity and tightness to resurface. The procedure is performed by your doctor, who has specialized training and experience with this highly effective peel.

What is unique about the Blue Peel?
Unlike alpha-hydroxy peels, glycolic peels, or other superficial procedures, the Blue Peel allows control of the depth of the peel and the number of coats applied in order to tailor the process to your skin's specific needs.

How will my skin look after recovery?
When your skin has completely finished peeling, you will immediately notice the dramatic results of your newly improved complexion. Your skin's appearance will continue to improve for the next 4 to 6 weeks,
becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking.

Can I apply makeup after a Blue Peel?
To best aid in the recovery process, makeup should only be applied after the skin is completely healed.

Can the Blue Peel be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Dr. Mariotti has been trained to combine the Blue Peel with many other procedures you may be interested in. This can be very effective in achieving even more dramatic results in the same time period. Talk to her about the possible combinations that may be best for your skin.

Can the Blue Peel be repeated for maximum results?
Several peels may be necessary to give you the desired result. In most cases, one to three Blue Peels can achieve dramatic improvements in many skin problems. The peels can be performed in 6 to 8 week intervals until your desired goals are reached.
