Obagi Nu-Derm Protocols

The Obagi Nu-DermT Protocols rejuvenate the appearance by improving the actual quality of the skin.

Fine lines and blemishes make us look older and can reduce the impact of surgical procedures like face and eye lifts. They are usually due to a combination of sun damage and the natural process of ageing of the skin. The Obagi Nu-Derm Protocols can address these problems by improving skin quality and texture to achieve a healthy, glowing appearance.

This sequence of treatments will:

• Diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Increase smoothness.
• Reduce pore size.
• Improve elasticity.
• Generate a balanced, even skin tone.
• Normalize oil production.
• Correct blemishes.
• Reduce age spots and other hyperpigmentation.
• Increase the skin's own ability to hold moisture.
• Increase the skin's tolerance to external factors .

A structured sequence of skin preparations centered on retinoic acid, the protocols are used in conjunction with with RetinovaT or Retin AT creams to clean and condition the skin. For most people, a course of treatment lasts a minimum of six weeks, the time it takes for skin to fully renew itself. Patients who need more significant repair of skin discoloration or texture (for example, after acne) may need a longer period of treatment.

After treatment, the skin is smoother, fresher and better looking. It is also better prepared for more aggressive treatments like chemical peel or laser resurfacing.
