The Obagi System goes beyond providing for simple skin care, but is unique in providing for skin health.  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 bottom line is that the 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 is what the Obagi System does so well. The Obagi System is unique combining specially developed products with medical supervision and counseling to treat your skin from the inside out.

Under the supervision of our doctors and our certified skin care therapist you can establish and maintain beautiful, glowing, smooth, healthy looking skin.  As you begin treatment, 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, your damaged top layer is replaced by a new layer of healthier cells.

Tolerance Phase: In with the New

The correction and stimulation continues and you will notice significant improvements in your skin almost every day.

Corrected Phase: Healthy Glow

The surface problems have been corrected and your skin is healthy, restored to a much more youthful appearance.

OBAGI for Scars and stretch marks

Over the years we have had great success in treating stretch marks and scars with the Obagi System.  We recommend Retin A and Obagi Clear, to restore missing collagen and elastin fibers and to decrease the pigmentation that commonly occurs in stretch marks.  We also recommend the system for patients who undergo facial rejuvenation surgery and scar revision in the facial area.  The effect is profound as most incisions become almost invisible after treatment is begun.  Retin A should never be used by breast feeding mothers and those expecting a child.

Dramatic effects:the OBAGI BLUE PEEL

After years of development and testing, as created an innovative physician-administered chemical peel.  The Obagi Blue Peel, if repeated over a period of time, can achieve the same result as a deeper chemical peel or a laser. Healing occurs usually in just 7-10 days.

One of our doctors will prescribe an Obagi system designed specifically for your skin type and color. Dramatic results like these cannot be found at a cosmetic counter. Many available skin care products affect only the surface of your skin. Others are designed simply to mask skin problems. The only way to rejuvenate your skin is to go right to the cellular level … and you need the knowledge, experience and guidance of a doctor for that.

By stimulating skin cell renewal, improving circulation and rebuilding collagen, the Obagi system breathes new life into unhealthy skin. In as little as six weeks, you will begin to see a difference. Your healthy skin will be smooth, clear, firm, resilient, naturally moist... beautiful.
