Obagi Continued
Obagi skin care products are specially formulated to solve very specific problems, taking a scientific approach that could only be mastered by a certified physician.
The company explains to patients that the cycle of new skin cells working their way up to the surface before dying off and being sloughed away is approximately 40 days. However, aging causes this cycle to slow and creates a thicker surface. Obagi's Nu-Derm System targets this slowing and re-establishes the cycle at six weeks, resulting in more youthful skin.
Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize collagen and elastin, the substances responsible for the elasticity and softness of youthful skin. Collagen is found in a mat-like structure in healthy skin, giving skin a firm texture. Elastin is a network of fibers allowing skin to snap back after stretching, but actually decreases as skin ages and the result is thinning, wrinkled, loose skin. Fibroblasts shrink, slow and have a lower turnover rate as skin ages, all problems that are targeted with the Obagi Skin Health Restoration System.
Hyperpigmentation is a result of overactive melanocytes and can be treated with Obagi skin care products specifically formulated for this problem. Acne is not limited to teenagers and also warrants a line of products by Obagi.
Obagi products regulate the skin renewal cycle, repair damaged DNA, form new blood vessels and work to create a soft and compact epidermis. Together these products result in healthy, glowing skin.
