Soft Beautification®

Your skin is a living organ made up of millions of cells. Every day thousands of cells die fall off and are replaced by new cells from below. Unfortunately, as we age this becomes a slower and more haphazard process, making your skin unable to shed dark blotches, sun damage, or a dull, lifeless complexion. The function of a skin peel is to create an even, controlled shedding of several layers of damaged cells. This exposes a new fresh layer of skin with a more even color and a smoother texture. In addition, the peel stimulates new cells to grow, thereby tightening the skin, which decreases wrinkling.

There are several types of peels, each using a different chemical to create this peeling effect. Light and medium depth peels use the chemical TCA (Trichloracetic Acid) to create their peel.

TCA peels can effectively improve many conditions, including:

• Dull, weathered skin
• Freckling
• Blotchy pigmentation (including the mask of pregnancy)
• Sun damage (including precancerous lesions)
• Fine wrinkles
• Shallow acne scars

Obagi Blue Peel

If you’re interested in a chemical peel procedure to help transform your skin, then the Obagi Blue Peel may be right for you. To pre-condition and maintain the best results, Dr. Byrd recommends using the Obagi Nu-Derm System to establish a customized skin care regimen for you to follow.

How It Works

Obagi Blue Peel allows our professional staff to control your treatment, unlike common at-home procedures or alpha hydroxy peels. We determine the strength of the peel based on your individual skin condition and desired outcome. The Obagi Blue Peel utilizes tricholroacetic acid, more commonly known at TCA, as the active ingredient combined with the patented Obagi Blue Base. This unique combination allows us to better visualize the application and tailor the peel based on your specific level of damage and individual needs.

What To Expect

An experienced professional will perform the procedure in our office. The Obagi Blue Peel takes less than one hour and requires no sedation. It can be done on most body parts; the most common being the face and neck. The patient will experience a moderate burning sensation for several minutes and a bluish tint is applied to the skin that usually washes off within 12 to 24 hours. Light swelling occurs, increasing with strength and depth of the procedure. Within 2 to 3 days, your skin begins peeling and continues to do so over the next few days. Your skin should be healed between days 7 to 10, and you will resume your customized skincare regimen.

Once your skin has finished peeling and recovered, your complexion will show visible improvement. Over the next 4 to 6 weeks your skin will continue to improve, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking.
