The Obagi® Medical Skin Care System is a physician prescribed group of cosmetic products that works deep down to bring skin cells back to health. Aging causes the health of the skin to fail. Once you add in years of exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors, the skin’s ability to renew itself becomes even more fragile. Obagi’s medical skin care products work at the cellular level beyond the skin’s surface, thus the reason for a prescription for some of the products. (We put a prescription in your medical chart, but we carry the product here at our facility.) This is why it provides for skin health rather than just skin care. There are several lines of the Obagi medical skin care products that we carry here at Carolina Skin and Laser.

The Nu-Derm system works through three basic functions: 1) exfoliation to recapture the skin’s smooth, moist texture; 2) the correction of the overproduction of melanin to even out skin color; and 3) the preservation of collagen and elastin to firm the skin. The result is improved circulation, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and skin with a healthy glow.

The Clenziderm M.D. system gets to the source to treat mild to moderate acne by penetrating deep enough to reach bacteria in the pores. It reduces breakouts in as little as 1 week with continued results through 12 weeks, and it helps to prevent future breakouts.
