Obagi Nu-Derm - What to Expect
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.
Out with the Old
The Obagi system penetrates the deepest layer of skin to correct the signs of aging. During treatment you may notice:
- Freckles, age spots and uneven dark patches beginning to fade
- Redness, dryness and flaking of skin
- Acne or wrinkles may look worse temporarily
These are all normal reactions and indicate that the treatment is working. This phase typically lasts for up to 6 weeks during which time you will notice a visible improvement.
In with the New
As stimulation continues, you begin to notice significant improvements in your skin. Normal healthy cells are moving to the skin's surface faster, melanin cells are distributed more easily and collagen and elastin production is increased. You can expect to see:
- Reduction of wrinkles
- Further fading of freckles and dark spots
- Tightening of pores
- Subsidence of redness and flaking
As the skin begins to tolerate the products and the reactions subside, your skin will look and feel much improved.
Healthy Glow
All skin cells are in the process of transformation and receiving an increased supply of nutrients. Healthy, strong collagen and elastin production continues and skin is smooth, naturally hydrated, evenly coloured and more resilient. Your skin is now looking and acting healthier and younger.
The New You
You have now achieved healthier and younger looking skin, with the help of the Nu-Derm System. To maintain your skins condition, it is important to integrate Nu-Derm as a permanent part of your daily skincare regime. By continuing with the treatment protocol, you can expect to:
- Maintain skin that is healthy and youthful
- Help to prevent future damage
- Improve the anti-aging effects of your daily routine of skincare
