Can an Obagi Blue Peel Get Rid of Dermal Hyperpigmentation?

January 24, 2012
Asked By:migraineboy

This hyperpigmentation is on my upper lip and is bluish-grey in colour. I believe it arose from waxing my upper lip and then going out in strong sunlight approximately 6 months ago. I have never had any pigmentation problems in the past. I have already tried one session of IPL, with no success, perhaps because the pigmentation is not very dark in comparison to the surrounding skin.
