Blue Peel Radiance
|
| Dr. Arzadon and his professional staff offer blue peel radiance for patients in Washington, DC, Arlington, Alexandria and surrounding areas of Virginia. |
| Your skin protects you from the environment and regulates your body temperature. Skin is made up of millions of cells. It is the largest organ in your body. Each day, thousands of these cells die, fall off, and are replaced by new cells from beneath the skin. As you age, this process begins to slow down. Dark blotches, signs of aging and sun-damage begin to appear. Your skin may become dull and develop fine lines and small wrinkles. |
| Unlike Glycolic Acid and Alpha Hydroxy peels, the OBAGI Blue Peel uses a gentle combination of salicylic, Lactic and Glycolic acids applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells. Since it is not absorbed through the skin, there are no internal toxic effects. It tightens the skin, reduces wrinkling and renews a more youthful appearance. |
How Can Blue Peel Radiance Help Me?
|
| There are many benefits to the Obagi Blue Peel. At your initial consultation, we can determine if this treatment is right for you. Please remember to tell our aestheticians about any history of viral infections, sensitivity to the sun, or prior skin treatments including dermabrasion or Accutane treatments within the past six months. Also, explain the level of skin improvement you wish to achieve. |
| Unlike laser peels, OBAGI Blue Peel Radiance treatments can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands and even the arms and legs. This peel can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including: |
- fine lines
- wrinkles
- uneven pigmentation
- shallow acne scars
- sun-damaged skin
- freckling
|
How is a Blue Peel Radiance Treatment Done?
|
| Depending on your skin type and the desired results, you will probably require from 1 - 2 coats of OBAGI Blue Peel Radiance solution applied to various areas of skin and allowed to remain on the skin for 10-12 minutes. Most patients experience a warm to hot sensation, which may last as long as 2 - 3 minutes, followed by a stinging sensation. To ensure proper healing, our physicians will recommend NU-DERM cream. |
What Can I Expect After my Blue Radiance Peel?
|
| You will notice peeling of your skin for 2-3 days after treatment; this is promoting the growth of new skin. Remember, your new skin will be soft and sensitive. It is important that you avoid any exposure to the sun and always apply a sunblock of at least SPF-15 twenty minutes before you go outside. |
| Best of all, your new skin will be tighter, smoother and slightly lighter in color than it was before your peel. |
