A: Blue Peel safe for back

The Obagi Blue Peel can be safely performed on the back as well as the chest and arms to help pigmentation problems.  Fewer peel layers are applied to the back because of increased scarring risk.  While the peel area needs to pretreated with products such as Obagi Clear (hydrquinone), too much irritation should be avoided as this can lead to poor peel results.
