Obagi Nu-Derm System
The Obagi Nu-Derm System is a prescribed skin care system that is specially formulated to correct age spots, rough skin, skin laxity, redness and hyperpigmentation. The products in the nu-derm system are specifically designed to work together.
In the first 6 weeks of using the Obagi Nu-Derm system you may experience flaking, redness and dry skin and any acne may appear to get worse but age spots and dark patches of skin may begin to fade. At this stage your damaged top layer of skin is being removed to make way to a new layer of healthy skin cells.
During the next 6-12 weeks of using the system you will notice on-going improvements to your skin with the reduction of wrinkles, tightening of pores and lightning of pigmentation. The redness and flaking should have subsided at this stage.
After 12-18 weeks your skin should be feeling firmer and smoother and pigmentation should be reduced. At this stage you should start to maintain your new healthy skin using the aftercare advice given to you by your practitioner.
Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. System
The Obagi Clenziderm M.D System is a complete acne treatment that is specifically formulated for normal to oily skin. The Clenziderm system includes includes 3 products for use in the morning and evening to help clear up your acne and prevent future breakouts. The products included are a Daily Care Foaming Cleanser with 2% salicylic acid to wash away impurities leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed. Next in the system is a product called Pore Therapy which also contains salicylic acid which works to unclog and refine pores whilst clearing away any dead skin. The system is then finished off with Therapeutic Lotion containing 5% benzoyl peroxide (BPO), this has been uniquely formulated to deliver medication deep within the pores which is where the acne starts.
You will notice any blemishes starting to clear up within the first 1-4 weeks. During this stage flaking of the skin may occur but this will only be temporary. At 5-8 weeks, acne breakouts should have decreased and the overall complexion of the skin should appear more balanced but some stubborn areas of acne may still be present. At 9-12 weeks you will be coming to the end of your treatment system; the oil production of the skin will have become more regulated and breakouts much less frequent. Pores will appear smaller and blackheads clear. The skin should be left balanced and hydrated with blemishes healed and faded. At this stage you should start to maintain your new healthy skin using the aftercare advice given to you by your practitioner.

FAQs
Obagi System skin care products pharmaceutical products that work at a cellular level to correct skin cell function. They also contain prescription strength ingredients which means they need to be prescribed to you. Products from retail stores are known as Cosmeceutical products. Cosmeceutical products do not correct skin cells and tend to instead only treat the surface of the skin for a short amount of time.
The products in our systems have been specifically designed to work together to transform your skin. The formulas of all the products work together to balance the pH level of your skin and enable the ingredients to penetrate the layers of your skin leading to effective results. We recommend following the skin care system as detailed.
Obagi products are designed for use on the face and they should not be applied to the area around the eyes as the skin is thin and delicate. Obagi does have products that are designed for use specifically around the eye area. We also recommend speaking to your practitioner about using Obagi on the neck and chest as the skin in these areas are slightly different and should not be considered the same as your face.
You can usually see results after 4-6 weeks of using the system but this will depend on your individual skin condition. Obagi Blue Radiance peels start from £90 per treatment.
