Hormones, sun exposure, genetics and life style all play a fundamental role in how the skin ages. Depending on the skin type and severity of the damage it all can be hard to correct. Obagi Nu-Derm products have been a staple in our Kansas City area MedSpa for over 2 decades. The results are consistently amazing with beautiful and long-lasting results.

The 4 Phases of Obagi
There are several phases that your skin will go through while using Obagi. The first phase is ‘out with the old’. During this phase your skin will shed off of the surface dead skin cells. Because of this, you will experience some dryness and flaking. The second phase is ‘in with the new’. At this time your skin has completed the heavy shed and you will start seeing new healthier skin. The third phase is ‘healthy glow’. This phase is revealing the beautiful skin you’ve been so patiently working towards. The fourth and final phase ‘new you’ is what you’ve been patiently waiting for and staying consistent with. Each phase can last about 4-6 weeks. This time frame depends on your skin type, thickness and responsiveness to the products. But one things for certain, when you’ve completed Obagi Nu-Derm you will have the beautiful, clear and bright skin.
If you suffer from severe hyperpigmentation such as melasma, sundamage or acne scarring combining Obagi Nu-Derm products with a professional treatment will send your skin to the next level. Adding a Halo laser, BBL photofacial or a ViPeel chemical peel each target pigment at different levels of the skin while complimenting the Obagi product line.
Obagi Nu-Derm Maintenance
Once you’ve completed the four phases of the Obagi protocol, your esthetician will develop a maintenance specifically for your skin. Depending on your life style, skin type and pigment level, Kelsey will remove some Obagi products and also supplement some complimentary products to maintain and enhance your results. Adding monthly facials such as the Diamond Glow will keep your cell turnover moving while infusing the appropriate serum into your skin.
Integrating antioxidant products and growth factors into your regime at this time will protect your skin from future damage, while continuing to stimulate collagen production for anti aging and continued healthy skin.
