Obagi Medical Skincare in Croydon Blue Peel Radiance for Face and Body
Our Croydon clinic offers Obagi medical skincare treatments, including the Blue Peel Radiance for face and back, assessed and applied by an Advanced Aesthetic Medical Practitioner and Independent Prescriber with over 15 years in the industry.
Obagi medical skincare is a clinical-grade skin treatment range used to refresh texture, tone and clarity. Our clinic offers the Obagi Blue Peel Radiance, a gentle resurfacing treatment for the face and back that takes around 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, with most patients seeing brighter, smoother skin from a single session and continued improvement across a course of treatments.
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
How Does Obagi Blue Peel Radiance Work?
Obagi medical skincare is a clinical skincare range developed to treat skin at a deeper level than most over-the-counter products reach, using formulations designed to work with the skin’s own renewal process rather than just sitting on the surface.
The Blue Peel Radiance treatment is a light, superficial peel from the Obagi medical range. A blue-tinted solution is applied to the skin, which helps the practitioner see even, consistent coverage during application. The solution works to gently exfoliate the outer layer of skin, lifting away dull, congested surface cells and encouraging fresh cell turnover underneath. Because it’s a lighter peel than something like the VI Peel or Cosmelan, it’s often chosen as a regular maintenance treatment rather than a one-off intensive procedure.
Most patients notice brighter, smoother-looking skin within a day or two of treatment, with minimal peeling compared to stronger medical peels. Because the effect builds gradually and doesn’t reach as deep, a course of sessions, rather than a single treatment, tends to give the most noticeable and lasting improvement in overall skin clarity and texture.

How We Approach Obagi Medical Treatment
- Consultation — full skin and medical history, understanding your concern, and an honest conversation about what’s realistic to expect.
- Skin assessment — Franca examines your skin type, texture and tone before recommending the face, back, or both.
- Treatment suitability — confirming Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is the right fit, and flagging honestly if a stronger or different treatment would serve you better.
- Cleansing and application — skin is thoroughly cleansed before the blue-tinted peel solution is applied evenly.
- Removal and initial aftercare instructions — the solution is removed after the appropriate time and you’re given clear same-day aftercare guidance.
- The days after — mild dryness or light flaking can occur but is usually far less noticeable than with a medical-grade peel.
- Check-ins — progress is reviewed as you move through a course, so timing between sessions can be adjusted if needed.
- Course planning — most patients get the best results from a course of six sessions rather than a single treatment, which is discussed at consultation.

Meet the Practitioners
Advanced Aesthetic Medical Practitioner & Independent Prescriber
Franca has over 15 years of clinical experience, trained at St George’s University Hospital and Surrey University, and is a member of the Royal College of Nursing and the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses. She has treated over 4,000 patients and personally oversees every Obagi treatment plan at the clinic.
As an independent prescriber, Franca is qualified to independently assess and, where clinically appropriate, prescribe within her scope of practice, rather than needing a separate prescriber to sign off on treatment. For a medical skincare range like Obagi, that means the same clinician assessing your skin is the one deciding on the right products and treatment schedule for you.
Natalia supports the clinic’s wider skin and laser treatments, working alongside Franca to give patients continuity of care across their skincare and aesthetic journey.

A note on skin type and suitability
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is generally well tolerated across a range of skin types, but how often it’s repeated and whether it’s combined with other treatments is decided at consultation, not from a fixed schedule. This will always be confirmed individually based on your skin, not applied as a blanket rule.
- Even a gentler peel benefits from being assessed and applied by someone who understands your skin properly, which is why who oversees your treatment matters more than the product range itself. At Laserlite, every Obagi treatment is assessed and applied by Franca Lenders, an Advanced Aesthetic Medical Practitioner and Independent Prescriber with 15+ years of experience and over 4,000 patients treated.
- The clinic has held Save Face accreditation since 2020. Save Face is a government-approved register, exclusive to doctors, nurses, dentists and prescribing pharmacists working in aesthetics, and has itself been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority since 2016. This means the clinic has been independently checked against standards for hygiene, insurance, qualifications and patient safety — something we’d encourage you to verify directly on the Save Face register before booking anywhere, not just with us.
- Every patient starts with a proper, unrushed consultation, and the clinic holds a 4.8 rating from 117 Google reviews.

Obagi Blue Peel Radiance vs VI Peel – Which Do You Need?
These two treatments are often confused, since both are chemical peels aimed at improving skin quality, but they work at different strengths and suit different needs.
| Obagi Blue Peel Radiance | VI Peel | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Gently exfoliates the outer skin layer for regular maintenance | Resurfaces skin more deeply using a blend of stronger acids |
| Common concerns | Dullness, congestion, uneven texture | Acne scars, deeper pigmentation, fine lines |
| Best for | Ongoing skin maintenance and gentler results | More noticeable improvement in a single session |
| Downtime | Little to none | Visible peeling for around 3 to 5 days |
Which is appropriate depends on how much downtime you can manage and how deep your concern is some patients use Obagi Blue Peel Radiance as regular maintenance between stronger peels like the VI Peel. This will always be discussed at your consultation rather than assumed in advance.

Risks and Possible Complications
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is a gentler medical peel, but like any active skin treatment it carries some risk alongside the benefits. Being upfront about this is part of how we work, and it’s something Franca talks through at every consultation.
Common and usually short-lived
- Mild tightness or warmth straight after application
- Light flaking or dryness over the following day or two
- Slight redness on more sensitive skin
Less common
- Temporary breakouts as the skin adjusts, particularly on congested areas like the back
- Mild irritation if aftercare products aren’t followed as directed
Rare but serious
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation on sensitive or unsuitable skin if aftercare and SPF guidance aren’t followed correctly
We screen for risk factors at consultation and adjust treatment frequency to your individual skin to reduce these risks, but no peel can be guaranteed complication-free. If you notice unusual irritation, or anything that doesn’t feel right after treatment, contact the clinic straight away do not wait for your next appointment. Patients are given direct contact details for exactly this reason.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients see the best results from a course of six sessions, which is why the treatment is offered as a package, though a single session can still leave skin brighter and smoother.
Most patients feel mild warmth or tingling during application rather than pain, and this settles quickly once the solution is removed.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning, waxing and other chemical peels for at least two weeks beforehand, and let us know if you have a history of cold sores.
Very little. Some patients notice light dryness or flaking for a day or two, but most return to normal activities straight away.
Franca Lenders, our Advanced Aesthetic Medical Practitioner and Independent Prescriber, assesses and oversees every Obagi treatment herself. She’s Save Face accredited, has been practising for over 15 years, and has treated more than 4,000 patients.
Yes. It’s commonly used on the back to address texture, congestion and clarity, and is offered as both a single treatment and a course of six.
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance works more gently on the surface layer of skin, making it suited to regular maintenance, while the VI Peel reaches deeper and is better for more noticeable concerns like acne scarring or pigmentation.
Sometimes, particularly as a maintenance treatment between stronger peels. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis at consultation rather than combined as standard.
