Over the years, your skin has been exposed to a number of environmental stressors, which cause damage that can reach the deepest layers of your skin. Photodamage, caused by the sun’s harmful rays, is the main cause of the fine lines, wrinkles and age spots that you may already see or you will eventually see on your face.
The Nu-Derm System is the physician-dispensed, prescription-strength skincare system that can actually transform your skin at the cellular level. By addressing the signs of photodamage and restoring the healthy function of your skin cells, this system is clinically proven to result in younger- and healthier-looking skin.
How It Works
The Results of Aging and
Environmental Stressors
Skin cell turnover significantly slows
- Cell generation and cell loss are unbalanced, old cells remain on the surface longer
- Skin looks dull and tired due to dehydrated stratum corneum
Cellular mitosis creates abnormal keratinocytes
- Epidermal structure is disorganized
- Skin looks and feels rough, bumpy and tone is uneven
Melanocytes over-produce melanosomes
- Excess melanin cannot be evenly distributed
- Skin shows mottled hyperpigmentation and dark spots
Damaged collagen and elastin weakens dermal connective tissue
- The epidermis is no longer supported
- Skin is wrinkled, saggy, fragile and lacks glycosaminoglycans
Nu-Derm Transforms the
Cellular Function of the Skin
Increases cellular turnover rate
- Continually pushes fresh cells to the surface more quickly
Results: Even skin tone
Repairs intracellular transcription of keratinocytes
- Causes basal layer of skin to produce cells that are more uniform
Results: Better skin structure
Reduces overactive melanocyte production
- Pigmented skin cells begin to become regulated - creating a more even toned appearance
Results: Reduced hyperpigmentation
Stimulates fibroblasts
- Increases collagen formation
Results: Stronger, more resilient skin with fewer lines and wrinkles
“We have used the Obagi Nu-Derm skincare system for 17 years and I have not found any other system that is comparable to the excellent results for rejuvenating and maintaining healthy skin for all skin types and conditions”

ELASTIderm is a one of a kind topical eye treatment clinically proven to help restore elasticity to your patients’ periorbital skin and reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles.
SNAP is how patients using ELASTIderm describe the difference they see and feel in the skin around their eyes, when it snaps back into place.
Elastin and collagen are structural proteins that make up the matrix that keeps the dermis firm, smooth, flexible and resistant to wrinkling.
- Elastin delivers elasticity and resilience
- Collagen provides strength
  
The body stops producing elastin around the age of 21. Fine lines and wrinkles are the result of sun exposure and the normal aging process, which contribute to the loss of elastin. The images below show the structure of elastin and collagen fibers in healthy vs. damaged skin.
Elastin
Elastin is a coil-like protein that provides the skin with its resiliency. Healthy elastin enables the skin to SNAP back into place. Damaged elastin lacks elasticity.
Type I Collagen
Collagen is the major protein that makes up the connective tissue within the skin. Healthy collagen provides supportive strength for elastin. Damaged collagen lacks the structure to be supportive.
Synergy of Elastin and Collagen
Elastin and collagen are proteins that work together to provide skin with supportive strength and resiliency. You can see how collagen provides the scaffolding upon which elastin can thrive. When damaged, these degraded proteins cannot support or provide lasting elasticity in the skin.
ELASTIderm uses a proprietary bi-mineral complex (Copper Zinc Malonate) that is clinically proven to help:
- Restore elasticity
- Build collagen production
A one of a kind therapy that works to restore the skin on the chest and neck.
While much attention has been focused on minimizing aging on the face, many women have neglected the delicate skin on their décolletage.
The ELASTIderm Décolletage System is a unique solution for the aging décolletage. It has been specifically designed to give your patients the tools they need to rejuvenate the natural extension of their overall look with a chest and neck treatment made just for them.

Penetrate to the root of acne to clear skin fast
Obagi CLENZIderm® M.D. Systems are the only prescription-strength acne treatments that contain a patented, solubilized form of 5% benzoyl peroxide (BPO) to penetrate deep into the follicle and treat acne where it starts.
Available in two distinct systems, for normal to oily skin or normal to dry skin, these simple, 3-step, physician-dispensed acne therapies from Obagi Medical are clinically proven to better penetrate the follicles for effective P. acnes bacteria reduction and rapid lesion reduction.*
*Postered at the 2007 Annual American Academy of Dermatology Meeting.
How are CLENZIderm M.D. Systems different than other BPO treatments?
Other BPO-based treatments are formulated with insoluble micro- or macro-crystals which can remain on the surface of the skin. CLENZIderm M.D. Systems are the only prescription-strength acne therapies that contain a solubilized form of 5% BPO designed to penetrate deep into the follicle and clear acne fast.
CLENZIderm M.D. Systems demonstrate
greater penetration post treatment
Skin shows traditional topical prescription 5% BPO formulation remaining on the surface
Skin shows CLENZIderm M.D. solubilized formulation has penetrated beneath the surface
Experience the benefits of CLENZIderm M.D. Systems
- Exclusive penetrating technology that delivers BPO to the root of acne
- Clinically significant lesion reduction in 2 weeks, compared to the leading topical prescription BPO/clindamycin combination
- Availability of two distinct, prescription-strength formulations for a broad range of skin types

Begin your patients' remarkable skin Transformation in less than an hour with the Obagi Blue Peel. Unlike common alpha-hydroxy peels or other superficial procedures, the Obagi Blue Peel puts control in the right hands - yours. Based on your patients' particular skin needs, you determine the strength and depth of Tricloracetic Acid (TCA) peels and number of coats applied. A blue mixing base with built-in safeguards helps ensure consistent results. You control the procedure. Your patient enjoys the results.
Only the Obagi Blue Peel features built-in controls to promote superior outcomes, including:
|
Simple coat system, even application and fixed concentrations of TCA to reduce variables such as overpainting. |
|
Non-ionic blue base with glycerin that acts as a color guide and slows TCA penetration for a more even, uniform distribution. |
|
Easy-to-recognize endpoints that signal desired depth, determining outcome. |
The Obagi Blue Peel System is best for patients who want a fast procedure with dramatic results. In less than an hour, an in-office procedure, Obagi Blue Peel is effective for:
|
Many skin conditions, including laxity, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, large pores, comedones and more. |
|
For all skin colors and thicknesses. |
|
For use on the neck, chest, hands and arms. |
|
For patients who want a strong solution, that's fast and permanent. |
The Obagi Blue Peel is a quick and simple procedure for you to administer that does not typically require sedation. Application typically to the face and neck takes about 20 minutes, depending on the number of coats applied. Your patients can expect a burning sensation that lasts only a few minutes and a bluish tint to their skin that usually washes off in 12 to 24 hours.
Following the procedure, patients will experience light swelling. Within two to three days, their skin will begin to peel. This peeling continues over the next several days. By the seventh to tenth day, their skin should be healed and start looking younger and healthier.
Once their skin has completely recovered and is finished peeling, your patients will notice a visible improvement in their complexion. Their skin's appearance will continue to improve for the next four to six weeks, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking.
TCA is not included in the Blue Peel system and needs to be obtained from a dependable source.
