Obagi is a medical-grade skin care line (a cosmeceutical) that offers a wide range of benefits, including anti-ageing properties and rejuvenating actions. The range features a number of product regimes that work together to achieve your desired results and they use high-quality, potent ingredients and well-researched technologies.

The Obagi treatments system can help with: diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; increasing smoothness; reducing pore size; improving elasticity; evening out skin tone; normalising oil/sebum production; correcting blemishes; reducing age spots and other hyperpigmentation issues; increasing the skin's own ability to hold moisture; and increasing the skin's tolerance to environmental attack.

Obagi can also transform dull sun damaged skin, decrease skin pore size, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and treat mild to moderate acne and pigmentation problems.

Skin aging is a of course a natural process, but daily sun exposure (even UV on a dull day!) can contribute to premature ageing, slowing down the natural turnover (exfoliation) of skin cells between healthy new cells and old damaged cells.

Obagi's Nu-Derm System

Obagi's Nu-Derm System has the ability to penetrate the skin's surface to transform the skin's appearance and help correct the damage within to reveal a healthy, younger-looking skin.

Obagi Nu-Derm is ideal if you have:

Age spots (sometimes called liver spots)
Rough skin
Redness (Erythema)
Sallowness (yellowish complexion)
Hyperpigmentation (discoloration)

What to expect

During treatment with Obagi you can expect to experience 4 phases as you undergo a transformation to your skin, to reveal a more healthy and younger-looking appearance. The length of time between the phases, as directed by our trained Obagi practitioners, will vary based upon multiple factors including patient age, skin type, amount of damage and of course your daily compliance.

1) Out with the Old

The Obagi system penetrates the deepest layer of skin to correct the signs of ageing. During treatment you may notice, freckles, age spots and uneven dark patches beginning to fade, redness, dryness and flaking of skin or acne or wrinkles may look worse temporarily. These are all normal reactions and indicate that the treatment is working. This phase typically lasts for up to 6 weeks during which time you will notice a visible improvement.

2) In with the New

As the skin stimulation continues, you begin to notice improvements in your skin. Normal healthy cells are moving to the skin's surface faster (increased cellular turnover), melanin (pigment) cells are distributed more easily and collagen and elastin production is increased. You can expect to see: a reduction of wrinkles, further fading of freckles and dark spots, tightening of pores and a reduction in redness and flaking. As the skin begins to tolerate the products and the reactions subside, your skin will look and feel much improved.

3) Healthy Glow

All skin cells are in the process of transformation and receiving an increased supply of nutrients. Healthy, strong collagen and elastin production continues and skin is smooth, naturally hydrated, evenly coloured and more resilient. Your skin is now looking and acting healthier and younger.

4) The New You

You have now achieved healthier and younger looking skin, with the help of the Nu-Derm System. To maintain your skins condition, it is important to integrate Nu-Derm as a permanent part of your daily skincare regime. By continuing with the treatment protocol, you can expect to: maintain skin that is healthy and youthful, help to prevent future damage, improve the anti-aging effects of your daily routine of skincare.
