SKIN TRANSFORMATIONS
Why should I choose the OBAGI® Blue Radiance Peel?
The OBAGI® Blue Radiance Peel is chosen by clients who want visible, medical-grade skin resurfacing without the extended social downtime of deep chemical peels. Its unique salicylic-based formula targets both surface dullness and deep pore congestion simultaneously, making it one of the safest and most effective chemical peels available.
How does the peel work?
The active peel solution lowers surface skin pH, dissolving the "cellular glue" that binds dead, discoloured skin cells together. Salicylic acid clears trapped sebum inside pores, while AHA acids stimulate fresh cell renewal in the deeper layer. Over 3 to 5 days, old surface cells shed, revealing a smooth, radiant, and even-toned complexion.
What skin concerns does this peel target?
Pigmentation & Sun Damage: Fading dark spots, sun freckles, and uneven skin discolouration.
Fine Lines & Ageing Texture: Smoothing rough surface lines and boosting dermal cell turnover.
Congestion & Blemishes: Refining large pores, smoothing bumps, and preventing future acne.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Will I peel heavily after the OBAGI® Blue Radiance Peel?
A: Most clients experience light micro-flaking (similar to mild dry skin) rather than heavy sheets of peeling. Some clients experience no visible peeling at all, yet still enjoy complete cellular exfoliation benefits.
Q: Can I have this peel done before a special event?
A: Yes! For an event, we recommend scheduling your peel 7 to 10 days in advance. This allows any light flaking to finish, leaving your skin luminous, smooth, and event-ready.
Q: How long should I wait before booking this peel before a big event?
A: We recommend scheduling your OBAGI® Blue Radiance Peel 7 to 10 days before a major event. This gives any light skin flaking or temporary tightness ample time to resolve completely, leaving your complexion smooth, radiant, and event-ready.
