Skin Care System

- Deterioration begins to be seen after 6-12 months if treatment is stopped
What is it?
- It is a skin care regime devised by Dr Zein Obagi to enhance the penetration of two presciption-only medicated creams (tretinoin and hydroquinone) into the correct layer of the skin where they can act most effectively.
What are the medicines?
- Tretinoin: This medicine is the active intra-cellular form of vitamin A which engages receptors on the cell’s nucleus and stimulates the cell to use its own processes to heal itself.
- Hydroquinone: This is the most effective pigment stabilising medicine so far discovered.
Why can't I use my own skin care regime with these medicines?
- Because they will interfere with the penetration of tretinoin and hydroquinone.
Can I use make-up
- Yes, you can apply mineral based make-up over the products.
What are the side-effects?
- Your skin will get a little red and flaky from time to time.
- The regime will be tailored to your individual skin to maximise the benefits while minimising the side-effects.
Why not use over-the-counter products instead?
- Compared with the obvious improvements possible with Obagi Nu-Derm, over the counter products are just not as effective.
