Obagi is the pioneer in introducing the concept of Skin Health Restoration through correcting skin functions.

Hi Frank Welcome to the board,

I've heard about Obagi, how does it work?

Hi Beauty B's! I'll answer your question.. The Obagi Skin Health System has been used successfully in millions of patients over the last two decades. The primary goals of treatment include the following: * Correction of fine lines * Restoration of skin complexion * Correction of melasma(hyperpigmentation related to hormones or the sun). * Production of dermal collagen The treatment protocol is generally four to five months with a definitive correction in fine lines, complexion, and melasma depending on the length of treatment and the aggressiveness of the treatment protocol. Having worked directly with Dr. Zein Obagi in his office, I have been an advocate of a more aggressive protocol to correct severe wrinkling and pigmentation associated with chronic sun damage. The system has definite benefits and can work synergistically with other facial surgeries, including face lifts, blepharoplasties, neck lifts, and other lasers including Fraxel and CO2. I would recommend beginning the Nuderm system if you are looking for a definitive correction of skin quality. The benefits are most noticeable before major plastic surgery in order to redefine and improve skin tone and quality.

Obagi is widely used by known dermatologists in our city too, I find it too expensive but people I know who use it have great skin
