70 is the new 60, Go for it!

Are there Age Limitations for an Obagi Blue Peel?
There are no age restrictions for an Obagi Blue Peel, so being 70 years old is not a contraindication for treatment.

Make sure you understand what specifically is being treated.

The blue peel is a relatively straightforward and safe way to improve the texture and quality of your skin. It does not go deep enough to have much effect of wrinkles. You may want to consider trying one of the fractionated CO2 lasers for a more significant degree of improvement.
