Obagi Nu Derm Skin Care System

Damaged Skin:
Before Obagi Nu Derm Skin Care System

With stress and age, cell turnover slows - meaning that new cells take longer to form and the old cells accumulate and stay on the surface longer. As time passes the dead skin layer at the stratum corneum, or surface of the skin, thickens. This slows the flow of moisture from within, resulting in dry uneven skin texture.

Below the surface, skin cells become 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.

Transformed Skin:
After Obagi Nu Derm Skin Care System

When Obagi Nu Derm Skin Care System is used the results are more than simply younger looking skin. Damaged skin cell functions are actually corrected and accelerated in all layers of the skin (the stratum corneum, the epidermis and the dermis), triggering a Therapeutic Cascade^TM.

Nutrients supplied increase natural hydration and circulation to allow fresher cells to be pushed to the surface faster. This promotes continual renewal of dead skin cells to be replaced by fresh cells. As a result skin becomes visibly smoother and younger looking with reduced wrinkles and increased tolerance to day-to-day stresses.

The system promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, even skin tone. Many freckles and age spots disappear and pigment cells (melanin) are evenly distributed, preventing the appearance of new spots and discoloration.

Collagen and elastin production is stimulated to promote resilience and firmness for supple, healthy-looking skin. This reduces the appearance of new and existing wrinkles. All these functions work together to keep skin looking and acting younger and healthier.
