Obagi Skin Care Line

Dr. Schwartz is committed to utilizing the best skin care line in his practice. When using prescription strength external skin care, Obagi is his first choice. Below is an explaination of how damaged skin can be transformed and maintained using the Obagi Nu-Derm and Obagi C-Rx programs.


              DAMAGED SKIN

Over time, normal aging and damage from the environment (sun, stress and pollution) cause skin to lose its ability to 'renew' itself properly. Cell turnover slows, causing the dead skin layer at the stratum corneum or surface to be thicker and slowing the flow of moisture from within, resulting in dry uneven skin texture. Skin cells are disorganized and misshapen. Daily exposure to sunlight causes the amount of pigment in each cell to increase, producing freckles or age spots and uneven skin tone. Collagen and elastin begin to break down, causing the skin to lose its resilience, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.


           TRANSFORMED SKIN

When skin is Transformed by Obagi System skin care, damaged skin cell functions are corrected. The skin's cellular functions are accelerated allowing continual renewal as dead skin cells are replaced by fresh cells pushed to the skin's surface, making the surface (stratum corneum) smoother and naturally hydrated. Freckles and age spots disappear. Pigment cells (melanin) are evenly distributed, preventing the appearance of new freckles and age spots. The skin is rich in collagen and elastin that promote resilience and firmness. All these functions work together to keep skin looking and acting younger and healthier.

OBAGI NU-DERM SYSTEM

The Obagi Nu-Derm System, a physician-prescribed skin care system, accelerates the cellular turnover. This System penetrates below the skin's surface to correct damage in all layers of the skin (the stratum corneum, the epidermis and the dermis). It corrects functions of the skin at the cellular level, to Transform skin's cellular function to help it look and act younger and healthier. The System triggers a Therapeutic Cascade™ that:

Pushes fresher cells to the surface faster, for smoother skin, reduced wrinkles and increased tolerance

Corrects current pigmentation (freckles and age spots) and prevents the appearance of new pigmentation

Promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, even skin tone

Increases collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin

Increases nutrient's natural hydration and circulation for supple, healthy-looking skin
