I always stress to my patients the importance of protecting your skin from the sun – yes, this means not ever getting a tan on your face or chest.
The problem is, for a lot of us, the damage has been done and we already have the fine lines & wrinkles or pigmentation caused by previous excessive sun exposure. Thankfully there are really effective prescription-only products available now that can reverse this damage & help our skin look flawless and rejuvenated.
The Obagi Nu-derm system has transformed skin care. The active prescription strength ingredients Hydroquinone and Tretinoin, along with the unique patented deep penetrating system, make Obagi a truly special treatment. Your skin looks amazing as a direct result of the transformation at a deeper cellular level.
Obagi is a true all rounder, and can peel, rejuvenate and de-pigment any type of skin safely. So even for darker skin types, this really is very effective and safe.
What makes the Obagi system so special are it’s active ingredients which stop the skin from producing any more pigment, taking out any excess pigmentation already present in the skin as well as removing wrinkles and rejuvenating the skin.
Nu-derm starts with an 18-week treatment, which involves applying the products in the morning and at night. There are four phases your skin will then undergo during this treatment. Daily use of the ingredients in the system will restore cellular turnover, providing noticeable results in as few as four weeks.
While your friends and family will notice the difference in your skin early on, continued use of the system will reveal clearer, firmer, more even toned skin over the course of 12 to 18 weeks. The reason the treatment works so well is that your skin not only looks better but also starts to function as younger, healthier skin again.

Sarah
Over the last several years I have spent a great deal of money trying to find the perfect foundation to hide the brown spots on my face. I never went without makeup, as I was uncomfortable with how I looked. When I started on the Obagi Nu-Derm program I was amazed at how my skin felt. My skin no longer felt dry. Within a very short time I noticed the brown spots where beginning to disappear. I never imagined how nice it would be not to have to wear makeup and the Obagi program has done this for me.

My skin is paying the price for my days of sun worshipping during my late teens and early twenties, when I thought nothing of sunbathing in pure coconut oil with zero sun factor!
As I’ve aged I’ve become a lot more sensible and now wouldn’t dream of going in the sun unless covered in at least factor 30, but this was too little, too late. My face showed signs of sun damage with large areas of pigmentation.
I had tried various lotions & potions as well as laser treatment, which seemed to fade the pigment for a short time, but not permanently. Then thankfully a friend recommended I see Claire, who introduced me to Obagi.
You have to go into the Obagi routine with a long-term commitment, as the first 6 weeks are difficult with dry skin, peeling and redness. However as they say no pain, no gain.
You then really start to notice the difference; friends started telling me how well and fresh I looked, which is great to hear. Also my pigment has drastically reduced and in places almost disappeared already!
For the first time in my forties I am happy to leave the house without make up, and more importantly without feeling self-conscious.
I highly recommend Obagi Nu Derm and will be continuing with the maintenance once my 18 weeks are up.
