The Nu-Derm® system of products are the work-horse of the Obagi® Medical Products' systems. Some components in the Nu-Derm® system are prescription strength and require supervision by a qualified practitioner who understands skin and what it takes to achieve and maintain healthy skin.
Nu-Derm® works at the cellular level in renewing skin, improving skin function, strengthening skin, and maintaining skin's youth and vitality. Nu-Derm® was developed to correct a variety of medical conditions. When used properly, notable improvement can be seen in as little as 5 - 6 weeks after beginning the Nu-Derm® system.
There are three distinct stages associated with Nu-Derm® use: Repair stage, Improvement stage, and Maintenance stage. In each stage the skin moves through its transformation, until healthy skin is achieved after five months of daily use. Use of sun protection is essential when using any skin care product.
Repair Stage
This stage is associated with redness, dryness, and exfoliation, referred to as skin reactions. These reactions can be controlled or minimized to a suitable level to accommodate an individual’s lifestyle. Reactions in the repair stage are associated with the amount of cream that is used; the more cream used will result in more reaction. Likewise, the less cream used will result in less reaction.
Improvement Stage – after 6 weeks of cream use
At this stage, if creams have been applied correctly, damaged layers of skin have been removed and replaced with new, healthy skin. Skin is strengthened and reaction is less. Obvious improvement in the skin can be seen at this stage.
Maintenance Stage – after 6 weeks of cream use
At this stage, skin is renewed and medical objectives have been achieved.
