This revolutionary skincare system effectively addresses hyperpigmentation and overall skin rejuvenation.
Some of the products in the Obagi Nuderm System are prescription only, clients undergoing the treatment regime are supervised by the clinic’s Obagi qualified doctor. The initial consultation fees is £50 and the monthly follow up appointments are £25 while you are using these products.
With correct use over a six-week period the system produces impressive results by removing damaged skin layers to reveal new, vibrant and healthy skin.
During the Obagi Nu Derm skincare program the skin will move through three distinct stages: Repair stage, Improvement stage and Final stage.
It is essential that throughout treatment a SPF50 is used and sun exposure minimised.
During this initial stage the skin reacts to the system’s products. Typically, the skin becomes red, dry and irritated and will begin to flake.
Improvement Stage – after 6 weeks of cream use
With correct use of the skincare program results become evident after around 6 weeks of use. Old, damaged layers of skin have been removed revealing new, healthy skin. The reactions experienced at the Repair stage are less evident.
At the Final stage in the program skin is fully renewed and appears fresh, healthy and vibrant. The time taken to reach this stage varies for each individual depending on the skins condition prior to commencing the regime. Upon completion of the system a maintenance program will be discussed with your prescribing practitioner.
The following are the components of the system: A. To prepare the skin: Foaming Gel or Gentle Cleanser (No 1) depending on normal, dry or oily skin Toner (No 2) B. To improve the skin: Clear (No 3) Exfoderm® Forte or Exfoderm® (No 4) depending on whether the skin is normal, dry or oily. C. To stimulate the formation of healthy skin: Clear, Blender and Tretinoin. D. To protect the skin: Healthy Skin Protection SPF50 and Sunfader® Physical UV Block (No6).
Skin peeling starts in 24 to 96 hours after starting on the system. However, it is a desired effect as skin peeling is one of the mechanisms of action of the Nuderm system. The other possible side effect is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. We strongly recommend that Obagi Nuderm products should strictly be used under the supervision of a physician trained in the use of the system. At Croydon Cosmetic Clinic, clients are followed once monthly for progress and in order to minimise the risk of the complications.
