This isn't
about skin care. It's about skin health.
Ideal results
are not achieved by anything you can buy in a store. Many existing
skin care products affect only the surface of your skin and cover
over the underlying problems.
The only way to truly rejuvenate your skin is to reach below the
surface and work at the cellular level. That's where the health--and
beauty--of your skin is decided and that takes the knowledge and
guidance of a doctor, supervising a medically prescribed skin
healthcare system.
The NuDerm
System is Unique
It combines
specially developed products with medical supervision and counseling
to treat your skin from the inside out. This system works on the
surface to smooth roughness and correct damage, such as uneven
skin tones and hyperpigmentation. It penetrates below the surface
of the skin to stimulate proper cell renewal, improving circulation
and helping restore your skin's natural moisture.
The NuDerm system, when used properly under your physician's supervision,
will help your skin enjoy all these benefits:
-Reduce age spots & hyperpigmentation
-Achieve a lovely, even skin tone
-Diminish fine lines & wrinkles
-Smoother skin
-Increase natural moisture
-Resist environmental effects
-Improve elasticity
-Reduce pore size
-Bring oil production to normal levels
An easy
step-by-step system.
Dr. Galoob
will prescribe the NuDerm products designed for your skin type
and condition, and will determine the proper course of action
for you. An initial two week trial of the skin products is recommended
by Dr. Galoob to determine your skin's sensitivity to the medication.
During this time, adjustments in product usage may be coordinated
with our office. After two weeks, and if there are no problems,
a light facial peel is performed in our office. This is another
test of your skin's ability to tolerate treatment and is the first
in a series of peels accompanied by continuing use of the Obagi
products.
As the treatment
continues, you will experience three distinctive phases in the
restoration of your skin health:
Reaction
Phase: Out with the Old
During this initial correction and stimulation period, a new layer
of healthier cells replaces your damaged top skin layer. Some
peeling and flaking may occur.
Tolerance
Phase: In with the New
The correction and stimulation continues and you will notice significant
improvements in your skin almost every day. There is much less
irritation and your skin has a smoother healthier feel and appearance.
Corrected
Phase: Healthy Glow
Here, the surface problems have been corrected and your skin is
healthy and restored to a much more youthful appearance. Use of
the Obagi products should be continued on a maintenance basis
to prevent recurrence of the skin problems.
It is easy
to maintain your new, healthy, younger looking skin for a lifetime.
Your skin health routine will be second nature to you. And with
your doctor's advice, it will be simple to develop a maintenance
regimen that fits your skin type and the nature of your skin problems.
Each year, Obagi products and facial peels are performed on thousands
of patients. Adverse reactions and problems are rare. However,
there are certain inherent risks connected with any treatment
that should be discussed with the physician prior to beginning.
Patients can minimize complications by carefully following directions
given by the physician.
