Aging and environmental assaults--such as too much sun, hormones, stress and pollution--affect not only the way your skin look and feels, but also your skin's health.  The Obagi Nu-Derm System is a physician-prescribed skin care system that acutally corrects the functions and health of your skin.  The System transforms your skin at the cellular level resulting in skin that looks and acts younger and healthier. 

 

 

 

 

What are the affects of aging ond photodamage on your skin?

As your skin ages, the turnover of skin cells slows significantly, throwing off the balance between the growth of healthy new skin cells.  Collagen and elastin begin to slowly break down, causing the skin to lose its resilience, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.  Daily exposure to UV light accelerates this aging process and causes uneven pigmentation.

 

Why does the Obagi Nu-Derm System transfrom your skin?

The Obagi Nu-Derm System penetrates below your skin's surface, transforming skin cell functions at the cellualr level and correcting the damage within your skin.  Administered using a specific sequence of dosage and frequency that's right for you skin condition, the prescription-based System triggers a therapeutic cascade that makes your skin look and act younger and healthier.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

What to expect while using the Obagi Nu-Derm System?

 Four Phases of Transformation

 

1.  Out with the Old

  • The Obagi Nu-Derm System penetrares to the deepest layer of the skin to correct signs of aging.
  • Old, dead skin cells are relaced with fresh cells
  • Reactions such as itching, dryness and redness indicate that your treatment protocol is working

Expect: More even-toned skin as pigment cells begin to become balanced 

By the end of this phase, which typically lasts 6 weeks depending on your skin condition, you will notice a visible   improvement. 

 

2.  In with the New!

  • Your skin begins producing normal, healthy cells
  • Healthy new cells are pushed to the surface faster
  • Pigment cells are distributing melanin more evenly
  • Collagen and elastin production is stimulated
  • Your skin begins to tolerate the treatment and reactions subside

Expect: Smoother, softer skin as its natural rythm of renewal is generated

At the end of this phase, you will notice a significant improvement in the look and feel of your skin

 

3.  Healthy Glow

  • All skin cells are in the process of transformation
  • All layers of the skin receive an increased supply of nutrients and blood flow
  • Healthy, strong collagen and elastin production continues
  • Skin is smooth, naturally hydrated, evenly colored and more resilient

Expect: firmer and tigher skin with improved clarity and a healthy glow.

Your skin is looking and acting younger

 

4.  The New You

  • The Obagi New Derm System has delivered on the promise of skin transformation
  • Your goal now is to make it a permanent part of your daily health care routine.
