Depending upon the condition of your skin, 1-4 coats of the Obagi Blue Peel solution will be applied. Most people will not require sedation. If the doctor indicates sedation, you will need someone to drive you home. At each level, you will experience a mild burning sensation that lasts 2 to 3 minutes. The doctor may use an electric fan to minimize this sensation. A bluish tint remains on your skin: it will usually wash off in 12 to 24 hours. Your skin will begin to peel within 2 to 3 days and should be healed in an average of 7 to 10 days. This peeling should not disrupt your normal lifestyle.
