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 or Obagi -C Rx 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
OBAGI-C
Rx SYSTEM
The
Obagi-C Rx System delivers Photolumines skin,
regulates the production of melanin producing
cells, evens tone, resulting in more radiant
skin. The Obagi-C Rx System enhances collagen
production- skin is smoother, brighter with
reduced fine lines and wrinkles. This system
minimizes skin cell damage from the environment,
protecting it from free radicals, maintaining
Photolumines Skin. Corrects and restores balance
to lack-luster skin and dark patches caused
by photo damage - brightening skin from the
inside out.
WHAT
IS OBAGI BLUE PEEL?
The
Obagi Blue Peel is an in-office (or occasionally
surgical center) procedure designed to significantly
improve the appearance and health of your skin.
Using a low concentration of the chemical trichloroacetic
acid (TCA) mixed with a special blue base to
slow penetration, the Obagi Blue Peel allows
your doctor to monitor the appropriate depth
to effectively remove the thin surface layers
of aged and damaged skin from the face or other
parts of the body. These dead skin cells are
replaced by healthier ones, allowing the skin's
own clarity and tightness to resurface. The
procedure is performed by Dr. Rose, who has
specialized training and experience with this
highly effective peel.
