Obagi Blue Peel Side Effects
It is important to understand that a Blue Peel is a deeper layer peel. These are significantly different than the peels you can purchase over the counter. They are administered only by the plastic surgeons. With these stronger peels you can have any of the following: Pain Herpetic outbreak Uneven penetration of the agent Uneven skin depigmentation or peeling Scarring. Be sure that you are under the care of a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
Clinical Context
Because a Blue Peel penetrates deeper than an over-the-counter peel, healing takes longer and involves more visible redness and peeling as new skin regenerates. This deeper healing process is also when cold sores are most likely to appear if you have a history of them, since the skin barrier is temporarily more vulnerable. Following your surgeon's aftercare instructions closely helps support smooth healing and reduces the chance of complications.
