Debating Fraxel repair? A 2003 Obagi Blue left hypo on cheeks, jaw and forehead. Have had microderm, laser, and more chemical to repair with limited success. Best so far is just sunscreen and hydroquinone (4%). Am 41, want to fix hypo, fine lines, and some milia. What are best options?

Answer: Hyperpigmentation rebound and Melarase creams
Microdermabrasions are rarely needed after a blue peel. However, microdermabrasions can be done safely about 3 weeks after the blue peel depending on the patient and the severity of the blue peel.
Prematurely peeling skin after a Blue Peel may leave a dark spot. I ask my patients to use Melarase creams after an Obagi Blue Peel to minimize discoloration. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles
