1. Obagi Nu-Derm System
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. As the stratum corneum thickens and the area of new cells shrink, skin becomes less healthy. 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.

How it works
The Obagi Nu-Derm System, a physician-prescribed skin care system, accelerates the cellular turnover. This System penetrates below the skin's surface to correct damage in all layers of the skin (the stratum corneum, the epidermis and the dermis). It corrects functions of the skin at the cellular level, to Transform skin's cellular function to help it look and act younger and healthier. The System triggers a Therapeutic Cascade™ that:

Pushes fresher cells to the surface faster, for smoother skin, reduced wrinkles and increased tolerance
Corrects current pigmentation (freckles and age spots) and prevents the appearance of new pigmentation
Promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, even skin tone
Increases collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin
Increases nutrient's natural hydration and circulation for supple, healthy-looking skin

3. Obagi Blue Peel System is a peel performed in your physician's office, used in
conjunction with the Obagi Nu-Derm System

If you're looking to accelerate the Transformation of your skin and are interested in a chemical peel procedure, then the Obagi Blue Peel System may be right for you. Obagi Blue Peel is conducted in your Physician's office. Prior to and after the procedure, your Physician should recommend use of the Obagi Nu-Derm System.

How it works:
Unlike common alpha-hydroxy peels or at-home procedures, the Obagi Blue Peel puts control of your treatment in professional hands. Based on your individual needs and skin condition, your skin professional determines the strength of the peel.

The Obagi Blue Peel uses Trichloracetic Acid (TCA) as the active ingredient mixed with the patented Blue Base from Obagi. Your skin professional will apply the Obagi Blue Peel based on your level of damage and your desired level of Transformation

What to expect:
The Obagi Blue Peel procedure takes less than an hour in your Physician's office and does not typically require sedation. Your skin professional will apply the Blue Peel typically to your face and neck. A mild burning sensation will occur that generally lasts only a few minutes. Then you may experience a bluish tint to your skin that usually washes off in 12 to 24 hours. Your skin professional will advise you on how many peels are needed to give you the desired result. Depending on the strength and depth following the procedure, you will experience light swelling. Within two to three days, your skin will begin to peel. This peeling continues over the next several days. By the seventh to tenth day, your skin should be healed.

Once your skin has completely recovered and is finished peeling, you will notice a visible improvement in your complexion. Your skin's appearance should continue to improve for the next four to six weeks, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking.

WARNINGS: The procedure for and use of TCA can only be performed by a Physician or if permitted by law, a properly trained specialist working under a Physician’s supervision. Proper medical knowledge is essential to the performance of any TCA peel. The treating Physician is responsible for informing a patient about potential medical risks and complications.
