The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is a Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid peel suitable for all ethnicities which work to decongest, brighten and smooth skin texture.

This chemical face peel will shed dead skin, unblock clogged pores. This is a great chemical peel for acne sufferers or those with redness from previous acne breakouts, as it will improve breakouts and also improve red acne scarring, giving a refreshed complexion.

No. This is a superficial, Salicylic Acid face peel, so generally no skin preparation is required. You can have it on the day of your appointment, irrespective of ethinicity and skin type.

However, if your skin barrier is impaired (dry) then you will need to prepare the skin before your Obagi Blue Radiance Peel. Our skin therapist will be able to provide you with medical skincare products to restore your skin barrier before your peel. These are the same products we recommend you use after your peel: medical moisturiser (around £42) and sun protector (around £28).

Yes. You will need to use a medical moisturiser to assist the shedding of dead skin after your chemical face peel.

You will also need to wear an approved medical SPF following your peel for at least 14 days (although we recommend it long term).

Both products can be provided by Dr Leah Clinics to take with you after treatment. The cost is £42 for the medical moisturiser and £28 for the UVA/UVB sun protector.

Between 10-15 minutes.

The number of treatments needed varies depending on the type of peel and the skin concern(s) being treated.

Some clients have the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel as a one-off to freshen the skin or control breakouts. However, as it is a superficial peel you would need a course of 3 to 6 treatments to see dramatic results or treat actual skin conditions. For example, as a chemical peel for acne or chemical peel for hyperpigmentation you would need this number of treatments.

Depending on your skin type and home care regimen, a skin peel may cause increased sensitivity.

Side effects may include (but aren’t limited to): stinging, itching, irritation, redness, swelling, tightness, peeling and scabbing of the skin, scarring, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation.
