A lot of patients come to our clinic looking for solutions to correct unwanted signs of aging. Those signs caused by external factors and the natural breakdown in skin function as we age, include:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun and age spots
• Uneven skin tone
• Loss of elasticity and firmness
• Loss of natural skin hydration

We at Body Silk Clinic have the ability to transform your skin with the Obagi Nu-Derm System, proven to correct skin functions so that problem skin looks and acts younger and healthier.

Under the guidance of our trained physicians at Body Silk Clinic, the Obagi Skin Treatment System will help you correct your skin problems.

Where does Obagi Nu Derm come from?

The program was initially created by Dr. Zein Obagi, internationally renowned and respected board certified dermatologist, and is available only through specially trained doctors. Each product has been formulated to work in conjunction with the others for each patient's individual regimen to ensure effective and harmonious results.

What is different about Obagi Nu Derm?

Unlike traditional skin care products that only treat problems on the surface of your skin, the Obagi Skin Health Restoration System works at the cellular level.

The Obagi Nu-Derm System uses a unique combination of active and prescription ingredients - including Tretinoin and Hydroquinone 4% - to maximize penetration to all skin layers. The specific dosage and frequency are determined and monitored by our doctors, according to the patient's skin condition, needs and lifestyle.

How does the system change your skin?

The System triggers a Therapeutic Cascade™ that:

• Increases cellular turnover of abundant, healthy keratinocytes, pushing fresh cells to the surface more quickly and promoting old cells to exfoliate faster;
• Suppresses melanocytes production (melanocytes are melanin-producing cells located in the bottom layer of the skin's epidermis. Melanin is a pigment responsible for the colour of skin) reversing and preventing hyperpigmentation;
• Promotes the even distribution of melanin, eliminating unwanted dark patches, age spots and other pigmentation;
• Repairs intracellular transcription of keratinocytes (the predominant cell type in the epidermis), producing healthy, uniform cells for better skin structure;
• Stimulates fibroblasts (a type of cell that makes collagen and plays a critical role in wound healing) to increase collagen and elastin formation, resulting in stronger, more resilient skin to delay the aging of the skin tissue;
• Increases GAG synthesis, providing natural hydration and necessary nutrients to the epidermis preventing, therefore, the appearance of wrinkles;
• Increases angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels), improving blood flow.

Who are the right patients for Obagi Nu Derm?

The Obagi Nu-Derm System is best for patients who are willing to commit to a comprehensive skin care protocol and will tolerate side effects, such as skin flaking necessary to provide faster skin cells turnover. The potential Obagi Nu-Derm patients are those who:

• Are concerned about mild to severe photo-damage;
• Want to eliminate sun or age spots and have hyperpigmentation;
• Have fine lines, wrinkles and laxity;
• Experience adult acne.
