Is laser skin resurfacing more effective than an obagi blue peel? i had been considering an obagi blue peel. is laser skin resurfacing better?

Depends on problem: The obagi blue peel is a nice treatment for skin color and texture, but it is not the best treatment for deep wrinkles. Traditional co2 laser resurfacing is very effective treating deep wrinkles, but requires a longer healing time. Your doctor can treat some areas of your face with a peel and others with a laser, depending on your skin's needs.
