Obagi NuDerm System

Over the years, your skin has been exposed to a number of environmental stressors, which cause damage that can reach the deepest layers of your skin. Photodamage, caused by the sun’s harmful rays, is the main cause of the fine lines, wrinkles and age spots that you may already see or you will eventually see on your face.

The Nu-Derm System is the physician-dispensed, prescription-strength skincare system that can actually transform your skin at the cellular level. By addressing the signs of photodamage and restoring the healthy function of your skin cells, this system is clinically proven to result in younger- and healthier-looking skin.

What are the effects of photodamage on your skin?
As your skin ages and is exposed to UVA and UVB rays, the turnover of skin cells slows significantly, throwing off the balance between the growth of healthy new cells and the sloughing of old, damaged cells. Additionally, collagen and elastin begin to break down, causing the skin to lose resilience resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Daily exposure to UV light then accelerates this aging process and may cause uneven coloring, changes in skin tone and texture.

Signs of photodamage and aging:

• Age spots
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Rough skin
• Skin laxity
• Erythema (Redness)
• Sallowness (Complexion)
• Hyperpigmentation (Discoloration)
  

How does the Nu-Derm System transform your skin?
The Obagi Nu-Derm System, a physician-prescribed skin care system, accelerates the cellular turnover. This System penetrates deep to improve damage in layers of the skin. It boosts functions of the skin at the cellular level to improve skin's cellular function to help it look and act younger and healthier. The System triggers our Therapeutic Cascade™ of actions that:

• Pushes fresher cells to the surface faster, for smoother skin, reduced wrinkles and increased tolerance
• Reduces mottled pigmentation (freckles and age spots) and helps prevent the appearance of new pigmentation
• Promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, more even skin tone
• Helps increase collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient looking skin
• Increases nutrients natural hydration and circulation for supple, healthy-looking skin

What to Expect During Each Phase of Your Transformation
During treatment, you can expect to experience four phases as you undergo Transformation to a more healthy and younger-looking appearance. The length of time between the phases will vary based upon multiple factors including patient age, skin type, amount of damage and daily compliance.

Out with the Old
In this initial phase, the damaged top layer of skin is replaced by a new layer of fresh, healthy skin cells. This process takes approximately 6 weeks. During this time, you can expect:

• Freckles, age spots and dark patches begin fading
• Exfoliation and flaking
• Redness and dryness
• Wrinkles and acne may look worse temporarily

In with the New
As stimulation continues, you begin to notice significant improvements in your skin. New skin cells continue reaching the surface and the production of collagen and elastin increase. Expect:

• Wrinkles begin to reduce
• Tightening of your pores
• Further lightening of your freckles, age spots and dark patches
• Subsiding redness and flaking
