As you age and your skin incurs the abuse of daily living (such as sun, stress, pollution), the cell turnover rate slows down. This means that the new cells take longer to form and reach the top. The old cells accumulate and stay on the surface longer. You begin to notice those unwelcome signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and age spots, uneven skin tone, loss of elasticity and loss of natural skin hydration.
The Obagi Nu-Derm System offers a complete, convenient protocol for treatment at home. Dr. Thao and his staff will design a specific protocol of dosage, frequency and treatment objectives for your skin.
How It Works
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.
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.
Phase I – 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 phase, you can expect to experience one or more of these symptoms:
- Your freckles, age spots and dark patches begin fading
- Exfoliation and flaking
- Redness and dryness
- Wrinkles and acne may look worse temporarily
These reactions are indications that the treatment is working. It is absolutely necessary to stay with the program to see these results.
Phase II – 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 increases. Expect to notice:
- Wrinkles begin to reduce
- Tightening of your pores
- Further lightening of your freckles, age spots and dark patches
- Subsiding redness and flaking
Phase III – Healthy Glow
In this phase, your friends will begin to notice your skin. Your skin will look and act younger and healthier. Your skin is:
- Firmer and more resilient
- More even color tone
- Smooth and naturally hydrated
Phase IV – The New You
In order to keep your skin looking and acting younger and healthier, you will want to continue to use the Obagi Nu-Derm System to maintain the improved results you have achieved. By continuing with a maintenance protocol, you can expect to:
- Maintain healthier, younger-looking skin for a lifetime
- Prevent future damage
- Improve anti-aging effects
