Blue peel is a chemical peel which is bluish green in color which is mixed with trichloracetic acid to coat your skin. Obagi blue peel is formulated by renowned dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi.
Facial hyper pigmentation is a common problem for many women in pregnancy which is not resolved fully even after child birth. There are many cosmetic procedures available for pregnant women to get rid of melasma. But it is very important for pregnant women and nursing mothers to discuss their skin condition and other medical conditions with skin and cosmetic procedure specialist before getting any cosmetic procedure done.
Non-prescription obagi peels are safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers. Lactic acid is a natural acid and peels that contain lactic acid will not cause any potential problem during pregnancy. Prescription products such as hydroquinone and tretinoin should be avoided during pregnancy especially during first trimester. It is always advised to check with doctor before getting blue peel done during pregnancy and nursing.
The procedure involves applying 1-4 coats of the peel to exfoliate or peel of dry and dead skin over a period of 7-8 days, which helps to clear the skin problems of acne and hyper pigmentation. Non-prescription obagi blue peels are safe to carry on pregnant women and also women and men with any type of skin. Only slight irritation or burning sensation is experienced by the patient while the procedure is carried out and the same can be minimized using an electric fan by the physician. Skin begins to peel in 2 to 3 days after the procedure and gets cleared in a maximum of 7- 8 days.
Blue peel procedure can also be used to treat other skin conditions in pregnancy like wrinkles, scars and laxity problems apart from hyper pigmentation or Melasma. It is used to treat hyper pigmentation on other parts of body also which include chest, neck, arms, legs and back. The procedure should be carried out only by an experienced and trained physician to control the peels especially during pregnancy.
