Obagi Skin Care Systems
Recognizing that over-the-counter products may not be enough to effectively deal with some skin care issues, Doctor Arons often recommends Obagi skin care systems. Available exclusively through physicians’ offices, Obagi products are specially formulated and stronger than those purchased in drugstores or department stores.
Aging and environmental assaults — such as too much sun, hormones, stress, and pollution — effect not only the way your skin looks and feels, but also your skin’s health. The Obagi line of skin care products is a physician-prescribed skin care system that actually corrects the functions and health of your skin.
The products transforms skin at the cellular level, resulting in skin that looks and acts younger and healthier. The Obagi system penetrates below your skin’s surface, transforming the skin cell function at the cellular level, and correcting the damage within your skin.
Administered using a specific sequence of dosage and frequency that is right for your skin condition, the prescription-based system triggers a therapeutic cascade that makes your skin look and act younger and healthier. Developed for all skin types, the Obagi system can be tailored to your skin care goals. With conscientious use of the Obagi system as prescribed in our office, photo damaged and hyperpigmented skin can be transformed to look and act younger and healthier. Your skin will be smoother, firmer, more evenly colored, and properly hydrated. You and others will notice significant improvement in the way your skin looks and feels.
Regardless of skin type and condition, the Obagi system has demonstrated superior results time and time again. In a recent clinical study involving 301 patients, the Obagi Nu-derm System was proven to be 2-3 times more effective than other commonly prescribed skin care treatments. Best results are seen with a minimum of 16 weeks of consistent treatment with the products. Our office offers the Obagi Nu-derm System for total treatment of the face, Elastiderm to improve elasticity and firmness around the eyes with correction of crow’s feet, the Obagi Clenziderm Acne System (which works well in combination with our intense pulsed light treatments for acne), the Obagi Condition and Enhance System, and the Elastiderm Décolletage System for treatment of the chest and neck.
The Obagi Condition and Enhance System is designed to promote and maintain the overall health of your skin, achieve greater overall improved facial appearance than with a single surgical procedure alone, to inhibit future skin damage for longer lasting results, and to achieve a higher level of patient satisfaction. The system is designed to enhance the results of facial aesthetic procedures, including Botox®, fillers, microdermabrasion, IPL and laser treatments, and facial surgeries. The chest and neck are areas that are often overlooked, both by patients and their plastic surgeons. This area, known as the décolletage, is particularly vulnerable to visible aging since it tends to be thinner, less moisturized, and is often overlooked when applying sunblock. The result is a noticeable contrast between the youthful protected skin on your face, and the discolored damaged skin on your chest.
After diligently maintaining your facial aesthetics for years, do not let your décolletage reveal your true age. It can also be used on the backs of the hands, another telltale area. You can take steps to revitalize your décolletage skin with a regimen specifically formulated to reduce hyperpigmentation (discoloration) and minimize visible fine lines and wrinkles. Obagi medical products, available only through doctors’ offices, offer the first skin care system specifically designed to correct, restore, and maintain the youthful glow of the skin on your chest and neck area with the Elastiderm Décolletage System. Doctor Arons is one of the few plastic surgeons in New Haven to offer the Obagi line of skin care products.
