Anti-aging Transformation

Skin aging is a natural process, but daily sun exposure can contribute to premature aging, slowing down the turnover of skin cells between healthy new cells and old damaged cells.

Signs of aging and photodamage:
  • Age spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Rough skin
  • Skin laxity (loss of elasticity)
  • Erythema (redness)
  • Sallowness (complexion)
  • Hyperpigmentation (discoloration)
 
The Obagi Nu-Derm System is an anti-aging therapy that penetrates below the skin’s surface to transform skin cell functions at the cellular level and correct the damage within... revealing healthy, younger-looking skin.

The Phases of Transformation

As you begin using the Obagi Nu-Derm System, your skin will undergo 4 phases of transformation.

Phase 1: Out With the Old (Weeks 1-6)
Promotes cellular turnover and maximizes the results of your procedure by penetrating the layers of your skin.
  • Old, dead skin cells are pushed to the surface and replaced with fresh cells
  • Itching, dryness, and redness are normal reactions as your skin adapts to the active ingredients in the system†
  • Pigmented skin cells begin to become regulated, creating a more even-toned appearance
 
Phase 2: In With the New (Weeks 7-12)
Smoother, softer, clearer skin is created.
  • Your skin begins producing normal, healthy cells
  • Pigment cells are distributing melanin more evenly
  • Collagen production is stimulated
  • Your skin begins to acclimate to the active ingredients of the system
 
Phase 3: Healthy Glow (Weeks 13-18)
Your skin cells are in the process of transformation.
  • Collagen production continues
  • Your skin is smooth, naturally hydrated, evenly colored, and more resilient
  • Your skin is becoming clearer, firmer, and tighter with improved clarity and a healthy glow
 
Phase 4: The New You (typically lasts indefinitely, with maintenance)
You can enjoy a complexion that’s smoother, clearer, and firmer, but remember that maintenance is crucial to long-term success!
 
†If you experience excessive itching, dryness, or redness, discontinue use of the system and contact your physician.

Changing Skin. Changing Lives

“We have used the Obagi Nu-Derm skin care system for 17 years and I have not found any other system that is comparable to the excellent results for rejuvenating and maintaining healthy skin for all skin types and conditions.”
Jody Comstock, MD
Founder/Physician,
Skin Spectrum, Tucson, AZ
 
“I started the Obagi [Nu-Derm] System about 2 weeks ago to improve melasma on my face after my dermatologist recommended that I try it.

“WOW! In only 2 weeks, most of my melasma has improved and the really tough spots I've had for years are noticeably faded! I am so delighted with your product! Even the redness and peeling (which I was warned ahead of time would happen) were very manageable.

“Some women in my office approached me the other day to ask what I was doing to my skin because it looked so smooth and radiant. I was floored! Again, thank you.”
Christine W.
Bedford, NH
 
“I purchased Obagi [Nu-Derm System] and it is wonderful. For the first time in my entire life, I am happy with my skin. I never have been before, as I've had acne and blotchy skin for so long. It's only been about 3 weeks, but I wanted you to know how happy I am with these products. Thank you.”
Stephanie R.
Vacaville, CA
 
“Thanks to such a great skin care system [Obagi Nu-Derm], my acne scars have diminished to the level I couldn't have even imagined or hoped for with skin care. My skin is more even toned and my ice pick scars are now very shallow. I'm no longer a targeted customer at the cosmetic counter. Some of my friends and family are so amazed that they have [also] gone on Obagi [Nu-Derm].”
T.K.
New York, NY
 
“I really didn’t like the texture of my skin, my pore size and I had a lot of hyperpigmentation. I was a little intimidated to have to use so many products and have to buy into some sort of system. I was skeptical. But all I can say is WOW! What a transformation.”

Steps to Healthy, Younger-looking Skin

 

The Obagi Nu-Derm System offers a complete, convenient protocol for treatment at home. Your physician or skin care professional will design a specific protocol that incorporates dosing, frequency, and treatment objectives for your skin.

 

We’ve included a standard protocol for how the products in the system are used. Click here to download the Obagi Nu-Derm System overview.

Common Questions and Answers 

How quickly will I see results when using the Nu-Derm System?
Your individual prescribed protocol and frequency of use should be determined by your skin care professional, but you can typically expect visible improvements in 4 to 6 weeks. 
 
What can I expect while using the Nu-Derm System?
You will likely experience 4 phases of transformation. Find information on what to expect during the transformation process.
 
Why is the Nu-Derm System sold exclusively by physicians?
The Nu-Derm System contains prescription-strength formulations that can be sold only through a licensed physician, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
 
What is the difference between the Nu-Derm System and products purchased from department stores, drug stores, infomercials, etc?
The products in the Nu-Derm System are clinically proven, prescription-strength ingredients that work at the cellular level to improve your skin cell function. Products purchased from a retail store are cosmetic-based products that do not contain prescription-strength ingredients. 
 
How often should I visit my dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or other skin care professional when using the Nu-Derm System?
Your dermatologist or plastic surgeon will talk with you about how often you should check in once you’ve started using the Nu-Derm System. 
 
Can the Nu-Derm System be used during pregnancy?
Please consult your physician and refer to the Important Product Information.
 
Can the Nu-Derm System be used if I will be in the sun (ie, at sporting events or at the beach)?
Keeping in mind that extended sun exposure damages the skin, it is suggested that you avoid prolonged sun exposure without protection. While on the system, you can participate in normal outdoor activity. However, your skin may be sensitive to the sun and heat. It is very important to always wear a sunscreen, like Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35, Sun Shield SPF 50, and/or Physical UV Block SPF 32 in the Nu-Derm System, and reapply sun protection every few hours while exposed to the sun.
 
Why should I use all the products in the Nu-Derm System?
Each product in the Nu-Derm System is specifically designed to work together to provide you with the best results. When used as a system, the prescription-strength ingredients work to effectively balance the pH level of your skin and penetrate into the layers of your skin for superior results. Your skin care professional will guide you in using the system based on his or her assessment of your needs.
