HOW SKIN AGES

DAMAGED SKIN

Over time, normal aging and damage from the environment (sun, stress and pollution) cause skin to lose its ability to 'renew' itself properly. Cell turnover slows, causing the dead skin layer at the stratum corneum or surface to be thicker and slowing the flow of moisture from within, resulting in dry uneven skin texture. Skin cells are disorganized and misshapen. Daily exposure to sunlight causes the amount of pigment in each cell to increase, producing freckles or age spots and uneven skin tone. Collagen and elastin begin to break down, causing the skin to lose its resilience, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.

YOUR TRANSFORMATION

The skin's cellular functions are accelerated allowing continual renewal as dead skin cells are replaced by fresh cells pushed to the skin's surface, making the surface (stratum corneum) smoother and naturally hydrated. Freckles and age spots seem to disappear. Pigment cells (melanin) are more evenly distributed, helping prevent the appearance of new freckles and age spots. The skin is rich in collagen and elastin that promote resilience and firmness. All these functions work together to keep skin looking and acting younger and healthier.

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.

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. The System triggers our

Therapeutic Cascade™ of actions that:

Pushes fresher cells to the surface faster, for smoother skin, reduced wrinkles and increased tolerance
Reduces mottled pigmentation (freckles and age spots) and helps prevent the appearance of new pigmentation
Promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, more even skin tone
Helps increase collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient looking skin
Increases nutrients natural hydration and circulation for supple, healthy-looking skin

Your skin deserves all the protection you can give it from daily exposure to the sun’s damaging rays and environmental conditions that cause premature aging. Visible signs of aging, those fine lines and wrinkles, are caused by tiny molecules known as ‘free radicals.’ Free radicals dramatically multiply with exposure to sun, air pollution and other environmental assaults, ravaging skin cells and breaking down collagen that gives skin its youthful resilience

BENEFITS TO SKIN

Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals to prevent skin cell damage. Professional strength Vitamin C can give your skin the superior protection it needs to:

Prevent premature signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles

Protect against future damage

Stimulate collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin

If you're looking to accelerate your Transformation and 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.

The Obagi Blue Peel is used in conjunction with the Obagi Nu-Derm System

to enhance the effects of the peel and to sustain healthier, younger-looking skin.

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 Trichloroacetic 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.

Acne isn’t new. Our “solution” is. Introducing Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.™ prescription-strength acne therapeutic system. The only acne treatment systems with a liquid form of benzoyl peroxide, CLENZIderm M.D.™ is clinically proven to provide visibly clearer skin as early as 2 weeks

CLENZIderm M.D.™ systems are clinically proven to penetrate more effectively than leading prescription benzoyl peroxide products.* As a result, this Rx-strength treatment instantly penetrates the pores and begins reducing acne below the skin’s surface, providing a clearer complexion in as early as 2 weeks
