Another attempt to answer a public forum question.
My answer:
Preconditioning the skin is key
It is convenient to pre-condition the skin with the OBAGI Nu-derm system. But there are other lines that can precondition the skin. I prefer that the patients precondition the skin with tretinoin and/or hydroquinone (preferably both) for at least 2 months before getting a OBAGI Blue Peel. The reason it’s convenient – both the Obagi Nu-derm system and the Obagi Blue Peel are made by Obagi.
