Peeling


This method was created 10 years ago by Dr. Zein E. Obagi, founder of the Obagi Institute and director of the Obagi Medical Clinics in La Jolla, Beverly Hills, and Paris.  During this time, the method has been tested with great success in these centers, getting truly spectacular results.

It is a program, not a surgery.  It erases everything that can make the surface of the skin unattractive, giving it better quality, texture, and color in the treated zones.

It is a treatment that can be a compliment to a lifting, but not a substitute.

Benefits

This procedure is simple and safe, and can be repeated.

It is effective in all kinds of skin.

It can be done on the skin of almost all parts of the body.

A Who is it for?

The Obagi program is used for the treatment, correction, and reconstruction of the skin and has been designed to correct the following problems:

  • Wrinkles
  • Aging skin
  • Skin damaged by the sun
  • Precancerous sores
  • Spots
  • Acne scars

Duration of the Treatment

This procedure consists of three parts:

  • The first part consists of preparing the skin with some special creams.  This preparation lasts one month, and is done by the patient at home.  The creams are applied according to the instructions previously given to the patient by one of the doctors on our team.
  • The second part is the peeling, which consists of eliminating the top four layers of skin with special liquids.  Some scabs will appear, which will slowly fall and give way to the new skin, which is clean, healthy, and young.
  • It is necessary to take 10 or 15 days of rest, depending on the case.  After the 15 days, when the skin begins to grow again, it will be time for the third part of the procedure.  This part of the procedure consists of the application of creams which are prescribed by the doctor.  These creams must be applied for 2 or 3 months.

The actual peeling takes about 20 minutes and has to be done in an operating room in the clinic, but it is not necessary for the patient to check-in to the hospital.  General anesthesia isn’t necessary, only sedation.  After about 30 minutes the patient can go home.
