Obagi Products
 SKIN CARE Dr. Liu carries the full line of OBAGI® skin care products. Skin care is an equally important part of facial rejuvenation and balances out any surgical procedures. Skin care is by far the easiest way to achieve mild to moderate improvement in age and sun related facial skin damage. It improves the quality of the skin, skin texture, very fine lines, and pigmentation spots. The OBAGI® products are available as single products or in kits. The 4 primary steps in the kit include: 1. Preparing the skin to clean and make the skin more receptive to the medications 2. Correct – this step lightens dark spots, evens the skin tone, and smoothes the skin 3. Stimulate - penetration to the deeper layers of the skin to enhance production of new collagen 4. Protect – sunscreens to prevent further damage. The typical lifespan of a skin cell is about 6 weeks. This is roughly the time that it will take for the full effects of the medication to occur. The Blue Peel® is a TCA (trichloroacetic acid) chemical peel that is performed in the office. This is a light-medium depth peel, but should only be performed after the skin has been placed on a pre-peel regimen for maximum effect. Healing typically takes 10-14 days. Within the first day or two, the skin will turn red and begin to exfoliate. For maximal results, sometimes more than one peel is necessary. The chemical peel may often be combined with other surgical procedures. |
