Nu-Derm® System

The Obagi Nu-Derm® System

Over the years, your skin has been exposed to a number of environmental factors, which cause damage that can reach the deepest layers of your skin. Photodamage, caused by the sun’s harmful rays, is the main cause of fine lines, wrinkles pigmentation and age spots. The Obagi Nu-Derm® System is the physician-dispensed, skin care system that can actually transform your skin at the cellular level. By addressing the signs of photodamage and restoring the healthy function of your skin cells, this system is clinically proven to result in younger, healthier looking skin.

What are the effects of photodamage on your skin?

As your skin ages and is exposed to UVA and UVB rays, the turnover of skin cells slows significantly, throwing off the balance between the growth of healthy new cells and the sloughing of old, damaged cells. Additionally, collagen and elastin begin to break down, causing the skin to lose resilience resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Daily exposure to UV light then accelerates this aging process and may cause uneven colouring (pigmentation).

What are the signs of photodamaged and aged skin?

- Age spots                           - Redness

- Pigmentation                      - Sallowness

- Fine lines and wrinkles      - Pigmentation (discolouration)

- Rough skin                          - Skin laxity

How does the Nu-Derm® System by Obagi transforms your skin?

The Nu-Derm® System by Obagi penetrates below the surface of your skin to transform skin functions at the cellular level and correct the damage within.

Using a specific sequence of dosage and frequency that’s recommended specifically by your skin care professional for your skin condition, the system exfoliates old skin leaving healthy, new skin that looks and acts younger and healthier.

Who should use the Obagi Nu-Derm® System?

If you have experienced daily sun exposure, occasional sunburns, hormonal changes, stress and environmental pollution, then your skin will likely show signs of premature aging, fine lines pigmentation and the occasional acne flares. Nu-Derm® can be tailored to your skincare goals and your skin type.

What you can expect from Obagi’s Nu-Derm® System.

In order for the Nu-Derm® System to correct the function and health of your skin, it uses ingredients that penetrate to the deepest layers and affect your skin at the cellular level. During the four distinct phases of your skin transformation, daily use of the ingredients in the system will restore cellular turnover, providing noticeable results in as few as four weeks.

The Four Phases of Transformation summarized

• OUT WITH THE OLD (wks 1-6). Old skin cells are pushed to the surface and replaced with new cells. Expect: Pigmented skin cells to become regulated, creating a more even toned appearance.
• IN WITH THE NEW (wks 7-12). Your skin begins producing normal healthy cells. Pigment cells are distributing melanin more evenly. Collagen production is stimulated. Expect: Smoother, softer, cleaner skin as normal healthy cell production begins.
• HEALTHY GLOW (weeks 12-18). Collagen production continues. Your skin is becoming clearer, firmer and tighter. Expect: Your skin to be smooth, naturally hydrated, evenly coloured and more resilient.
• THE NEW YOU. (lasting results with maintenance). Your personal maintenance programme will be outlined. Expect: Skin that looks and acts healthier and younger.

ELASTIderm™ eye treatment

ELASTIderm™ is a one of a kind eye treatment brought to you by Obagi. It’s clinically proven to help restore the elasticity of the delicate skin around your eyes and reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles.

Don’t let the skin around your eyes tell your age. Finally, there’s a way to bring back the lift, snap and resilience you’ve been missing.

Why ELASTIderm™?

Collagen and elastin are intertwined within your skin to keep it firm, smooth, flexible and young-looking.

• Collagen provides strength in your skin

ELASTIderm™ is not a moisturizer. Rather, it uses a bi-mineral complex that has been clinically proven to help replenish elastin and build collagen to restore elasticity in your skin.

How ELASTIderm™ works.

• Bi-mineral Complex including zinc and cooper helps replenish elastin and build collagen
• Malonic Acid in a patent-pending Obagi formulation helps stimulate the production of healthy skin cells
• Blueberry Extract provides antioxidants that help eliminate free radicals
• Penetrating Therapeutics™ use a patented Obagi technology to help deliver ingredients deep into the skin
