What Is Obagi Nu-Derm?

The Obagi Nu-Derm System is a skincare treatment option that is physician-prescribed. It is a prescription-strength skincare system that works to revitalize the skin at the cellular level. The Obagi Nu-Derm system works to reverse the problems caused by photodamage, which results from the rays of the sun. If you want to rid your skin of sun spots, wrinkles and fine lines, the Obagi Nu-Derm system is a product to consider.

Photodamage

The Obagi Nu-Derm system focuses on the destruction of the skin as a result of photodamage. With aging skin continually being exposed to both UVA and UVB rays, the reproduction of new skin cells decreases significantly. This results in the balance of healthy, new skin cells and damaged cells being completely thrown off. Also, elastin and collagen both break down which makes the skin less resilient, resulting in the formulation of fine lines and wrinkles. Uneven skin tone might even occur.

Effects

The Obagi Nu-Derm system works to reverse negative effects on the skin. Some problems that the Obagi-Nu Derm system work on include laxity of the skin, age spots, wrinkles, fine lines, roughness of the complexion, redness, sallowness of the complexion and skin discoloration (also known as hyperpigmentation).

Function

The Obagi Nu-Derm system works to revitalize the complexion by going deep below the surface of the skin to convert functions of the skin cells (via the cellular level). This is where the system goes to fix all of the damage. It then exfoliates old, damaged skin cells leaving you with new, healthy, glowing skin that looks a lot younger.

Time Frame

When using the Obagi Nu-Derm system for treating the skin, people typically start to notice drastic improvements to their complexion within 4 to 6 weeks. However, the time frame depends on how frequently you use the system, as well as your specific prescribed procedure.

Results

When you start using the Obagi Nu-Derm system, you most likely will notice significant improvements on your skin. Some improvements you might see include the acclimation of your skin to the system, the more even distribution of melanin by the pigment cells, the consistent production of normal, healthy skin cells and the stimulation of collagen production.
