Thriyv: Aftercare Information Sheet – Obagi Blue Peel Radiance

Purpose

This guide outlines what to expect after your Obagi Blue Peel Radiance treatment and how to care for your skin to ensure safe, effective healing and optimal results. Please follow these instructions carefully.

Immediately After Treatment

You may experience mild redness, tightness, or slight tingling for several hours following the peel. Some clients notice a light frosting during treatment or mild flaking over the next few days. These effects are temporary and part of the skin renewal process.

Aftercare Advice

  • Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at the skin as this may lead to irritation or scarring.
  • Do not apply makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and heat treatments (such as saunas or steam rooms) for at least 48 hours.
  • Use only gentle, non-active skincare products for 3–5 days after treatment.
  • Do not use exfoliating acids, retinoids, or strong active ingredients for 5–7 days.
  • Keep the skin well-hydrated using a bland, fragrance-free moisturiser.
  • Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, at least for the following two weeks and reapply regularly if outdoors.

Expected Reactions

Over the next 3–5 days, you may experience mild flaking or peeling as the outer layer of skin renews. This is normal and should not be manually removed. Redness and slight dryness may also occur but typically resolve within one week.

  • Skin Care Recommendations
  • Cleanse the skin gently using cool or lukewarm water.
  • Avoid hot showers or any activity that may cause excessive perspiration for 48 hours.
  • Keep the skin protected from sun exposure for at least 1 week post-treatment.
  • Use only products recommended by your Thriyv clinician to support healing.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include mild redness, dryness, and sensitivity. Less common effects are prolonged peeling, irritation, or temporary pigmentation changes. Rarely, infection or scarring can occur if the skin is picked or over-exfoliated. Contact the clinic if you experience any unexpected or prolonged symptoms.

When to Contact the Clinic

Contact Thriyv immediately if you experience:

  • Severe redness, swelling, or pain.
  • Signs of infection such as discharge, warmth, or spreading redness.
  • Unusual skin reactions or delayed healing.

Post-Treatment Results

Your skin will feel smoother and look brighter within a few days of treatment, with continued improvement over 1–2 weeks as cell turnover increases. For optimal results, a course of treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart may be recommended.
