A blue Peel is a chemical peel used to treat acne scars and
fine wrinkles on the face. A blue peel uses a trichloroacetic acid (TCA) as a
peeling agent. Because the peeling agent has the possibility of causing
permanent damage to the skin and underlying structures, a blue dye is added to
the formula. This blue dye allows the physician to monitor the dept of
correction and appropriate level of treatment.
The Blue Peel is done as an outpatient in the physician’s
office. There are numerous concentrations of TCA available and the physician
will determine what is the best concentration for your skin condition.
When the TCA is applied to the skin, it peels of the most
superficial layers of the skin and replaces them with fresh new skin, which is
smooth, fresh and provides a softer texture.
The light strength Blue peel does jack shit; the higher concentration blue peel can turn you into godzilla if you are not careful.
