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.

Obagi blue peels for the back
Trichloroacetic acid peels such as the Obagi blue peel have to be done extremely carefully on the back due to the risk of scarring. Please make sure you have an extremely experienced physician before having this procedure done.
