What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a common condition that makes some areas of the skin darker than others. This can be due to genetics such as freckles; hormonal changes such as during pregnancy; sun damage; or post-inflammatory such as after acne.
How does treatment for Pigmentation work?
The Obagi Nu-Derm system consists of a step-by-step skin care routine in the morning and the evening. It is important to follow every step of the routine to ensure the active products work on a cellular level. The Nu-Derm system works by:
-Increasing cell turnover
– Making cells uniform and healthy for a smooth, even texture
– Reduces overactive melanocyte production to correct hyperpigmentation and distribute melanin more evenly
– Increases collagen and elastin production for firmer, more supple skin
– Increases blood flow and nutrients to the epidermis giving a healthy glow
What can the system be used for?
The Obagi Nu-Derm System is for patients who want to look younger, have smaller pores, have smoother skin, reduce brown/sun spots.
Nu-Derm works to reduce moderate to severe photo-damage, moderate to severe melasma, Hyperpigmentation, Fine Lines and wrinkles, Laxity, Acne and/or Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.
