Can I apply makeup after a Blue Peel
To best aid in the recovery process, makeup should only be applied after the skin is completely healed.

How will my skin look after recovery?
When your skin has completely finished peeling, you will immediately notice the dramatic results of your newly improved complexion. Your skin's appearance will continue to improve for the next 4 to 6 weeks, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking.

Can the Blue Peel be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Dr. Stevens has been trained to combine the Blue Peel with many other procedures you may be interested in. This can be very effective in achieving even more dramatic results in the same time period. You're encouraged to discuss this with Dr. Stevens during your private consultation.

Can the Blue Peel be repeated for maximum results?
Dr. Stevens will discuss with you how many peels are necessary to give you the desired result. In most cases, one to three Blue Peels can achieve dramatic improvements in many skin problems. The peels can be performed in 6 to 8 weeks intervals until your desired goals are reached.

How can I maintain the benefits of the Blue Peel?
Keeping your skin's new healthy glow and youthful appearance is an ongoing process. The Obagi Nu-Derm restoration system is an at-home program designed to promote long-term overall skin health and work safely and effectively in conjunction with the Blue Peel.
