Obagi Blue is a chemical skin peel that removes and exfoliates the top layers of the skin, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath.
What skin conditions can an Obagi Blue Peel® help treat?
The treatment can help with:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin pigmentation problems
- Superficial acne scarring
- Large pores and comedones (white-heads)
- Solar keratoses and sun damage
- Skin laxity (looseness and sagging) and uneven texture
What happens during an Obagi Blue Peel® treatment?
In preparation for your first Obagi Blue Peel®, it is necessary to use the Obagi Nu-Derm course for at least 6 weeks. This is a cosmetic application that stimulates collagen production and increases the elasticity of the skin.
The Obagi Blue Peel® itself starts with your skin being thoroughly cleansed by Richard our Aesthetic Medical Facial & Body Practitioner.
A mild analgesic (paracetamol / ibuprofen) is prescribed.
The Blue Peel solution is then applied to the whole of the face area while a cooling jet of air helps to ease any initial discomfort. The application takes between 30 – 60 minutes.
The blue colour will persist on the skin until the peeling is complete. Peeling begins on days 2-3 and is completed by days 10-14. Results are noticeable by 6 weeks.
Aftercare advice for your Obagi Blue Peel®
- Allow skin to peel naturally – DO NOT pick or pull skin fragments
- Apply Obagi Action or Comfort Gel to tight, dry or itchy skin
- Try cold compress for swelling and inflammation
- Simple analgesia is recommended initially
- Makeup may be applied to new skin after 7 days
- Avoid sun exposure without SPF > 35 for at least 6 weeks
- Resume Obagi Nu-Derm maintenance once peeling complete
Possible side effects with Obagi Blue Peel®
- Redness and swelling are COMMON
- Skin infections are LESS COMMON and easily treated with antibiotics
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is RARE – treatable with Hydroquinone cream
- Scarring is VERY RARE

“Always a lovely experience at Jesmond Beauty."
As ever, always a lovely experience at Jesmond Beauty. Justine is great and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my lashes. They even accommodated my 4-week-old baby, meaning it was a successful 50-minute top-up! Thank you Jesmond Beauty.

“I felt revived!"
I came in with really dry skin, lots of spots on my chin & general redness. My facial was amazing and I instantly felt better when I left. 2 days later and my skin was totally clear, soft and smooth and I felt revived! The staff at Jesmond Beauty are always so personable and make you feel at ease. Thank you so much!!

"I didn't want it to end!"
If you and your skin need a treat I highly recommend a Caudalie facial. The products and facial massage were lovely. I didn’t want it to end! Thank you.
