| Obagi NuDerm Restoration System |
 For healthier smoother looking skin there is a way to dramatically improve your complexion by diminishing blemishes, acne scars, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation and sun damage. Obagi Nu-Derm Skin Care Products are best suited to accomplish this in a sophisticated multi week program that can be personalized for you by the estheticians at the Minneapolis Center for Cosmetic and Laser Surgery. This step-by-step approach is quite simple and equally as dramatic in providing you with healthy youthful looking skin. In some cases, patients will benefit by an Obagi Blue Chemical Peel after using the Nu-Derm Skin Care Products.
What is unique about the Blue Peel? Unlike Alpha Hydroxy peels or other superficial procedures, the Blue Peel allows the skin care specialists at the Minneapolis Center for Cosmetic and Laser Surgery to control the depth of the peel and tailor the process to your skin’s specific needs. The Blue Peel can be performed on the neck, chest, back, arms, legs as well as face.
How long is the recovery period? After the procedure you will experience light swelling and your skin will begin to peel within two to three days. The peeling will continue over the next several days and should be healed in an average of 7 to 10 days. This peeling should not disrupt your regular lifestyle for long, although you may want to limit your normal activity.
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 is completely finished heeling you will immediately notice the dramatic results of your newly improved complexion. Your skin’s appearance will continue to improve over the next four to six weeks, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking.
Can the Blue Peel be combined with other procedures? Yes, there are other procedures that you may wish to combine with the Blue Peel in order to achieve dramatic results. This is best discussed with the specialist at the Minneapolis Center for Cosmetic and Laser Surgery.
Can the Blue Peel be repeated for maximum results? Yes, in most cases one to three Blue Peels can achieve dramatic improvements in many skin problems especially pigmented areas of the face. Peels can be performed in six to eight week intervals until your 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 works safely and effectively in conjunction with the Blue Peel. The skin care specialists at the Minneapolis Center for Cosmetic and Laser Surgery can guide you to which Nu-Derm Products would be best for your skin type.
