Do I need to do anything before my Obagi Blue Peel Radiance treatment?

  • You will usually be required cease the use of any active skincare product which contain retinol, glycolic, AHA’s or bleaching products, 3 days prior to your Obagi peel.
  • We recommend that you do not have sunbed treatments or have experienced sunburn or any other form of burn to your face, 2 weeks prior to your Obagi peel.
  • If your skin barrier is dry, we advise that you prepare the skin before your Obagi Blue Peel Radiance. Your Ihya practitioner will be able to provide you with the correct skincare products to restore your skin barrier before your peel. You will need to use these products in advance of your treatment, so we ask that you contact us for a consultation, at least 2 weeks before you would like the peel to commence.

What do I use after my Obagi Blue Peel Radiance treatment?

You will need to use a medical moisturiser to assist with the shedding of dead skin, following your Obagi peel. We also strongly advise that you wear a high factor medical SPF to protect your skin. We advise all our patients to use SPF long-term, but this is especially important following your peel, to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation and skin damage from UV rays.

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 14 days, following your peel.
