Shades of Blue Reveal a Refreshed You

With Spring right around the corner, now is the perfect time for skin to emerge from hibernation and reveal its youthful radiance! However, factors such as environmental stresses, unhealthy diet and lack of sleep are tough to reverse, so skin needs extra help. Developed by OBAGI® Medical, the Blue Peel Radiance is a superior chemical peel that helps skin rebound from these factors and improve skin’s clarity and tightness.

Those with blemish prone skin, acne scars, wrinkles, unwanted pigmentation, scars, large pores, and sun damage are the most ideal candidates.  Furthermore, this treatment fades hyper pigmentation (sun spots) very well for darker complexions. The Blue Peel Radiance by OBAGI is suitable for most skin types, except those with severe Rosacea.

The peel works by forcing dead skin cells up to the surface, then kick starting collagen production underneath. Moreover, ingredients such as salicylic, glycolic, and lactic acids work to clean out pores and stimulate cell renewal. With 15% Trichloroacetic Acid, the Blue Peel is an improvement to traditional Trichloroacetic Acid Peels.

As the peel is administered in layers, the number of peeling layers is determined by the condition of your skin as assessed by the licensed aesthetician and/or dermatologist.

Skin will take five to seven days to fully peel; during that week it is crucial to avoid direct exposure to the sun. Over the next 30-40 days, skin condition will become firmer, clearer, smoother and healthier as fresh skin continues to replace old.

As the skin peels in a regulated manner, it will not cause any long term skin problems.

Known as the “new lunchtime peel,” this in-office service is gaining popularity because it can be fitted in to a normal work day, since it leaves minimal redness. In addition, the service is not limited to facial areas; the peel can be administered to the neck, chest, hands, back, arms and legs.

Medi-Spa of Knoxville Dermatology Group is proud to add this superior chemical peel to our menu of services. For more information, please schedule a complimentary consultation to find out what shade of blue is right for you!

The Eyes Have It!

If you want thicker, fuller eyelashes without the messy mascara or frustrating “falsies,” then grow them with OBAGI® ELASTILash Eyelash Solution!

The non-allergenic formula which has been Dermatologist and Ophthalmologist tested includes Pentapeptides as a key ingredient to stimulate hair growth. Furthermore, there is no evidence of side effects such as eyelid darkening or change in iris pigmentation.

ELASTILash works for all eye and skin colors, but ideal for those with light eyes and skin. Best results occur with consistent use within 4 to 6 weeks.  Simply apply 1 generous brush stroke along the upper eyelash line every night.

Skin around your eyes is very sensitive and prone to show signs of aging. That is why it is so pertinent to protect that skin with a gentle eye cream like OBAGI ® ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Cream. The key ingredient Glycerin boosts the skin’s natural protection by adding moisture and retaining hydration for the skin. Also, the product includes Vitamin E -a strong antioxidant and excellent natural moisturizer.

ELASTIderm reduces the effects of aging by jumpstarting the collagen and elastin production in the skin around the eyes. 

No prescription is needed for OBAGI® ELASTILash Eyelash Solution or ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Cream.
