What is "Obagi Blue Peel" in "Obagi Nu-Derm System"?
"Obagi Blue Peel," it means a light to medium chemical peel in order to help restore our skins clarity and tightness usually includes five following steps:
- Prepare: to cleanse and tone our skin to prepare for a more receptive to the correction step. The products are Nu-Derm Foaming Gel, Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser, & Nu-Derm Toner.
- Correct: to repair the damage on our skin surface, to correct hyperpigmentation, to uneven skin tone, and to smooth our skin roughness. The products are Nu-Derm Clear, Nu-Derm Exfoderm, & Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte.
- Stimulate: to repair the damage below our skin surface and to restore our skin elasticity, and to enhance the production of collagen and elastin. The product is Nu-Derm Blender.
- Protect: to protect our skin from being damaged by harmful UVA and UVB rays. The products are Nu-Derm Sunblock, Nu-Derm Sunfader, Nu-Derm Eyecream.
- Control: to alleviate the dryness or sensitivity happening at the beginning of treatment. The products are Nu-Derm Action and Nu-Derm Tolereen.
Basically, the entire process includes three phases: Reaction (out with the old), Tolerance in with the new), and Corrected (the healthy glow) phase.
According to Obagi, once we have reached the third phase in our Obagi Skin Health Restoration program, we can maintain our healthy skin for a lifetime. At that time, the only thing we need to do is to maintain it. After going through the six-week process, healthy cells usually emerge to the surface. The normal barrier function of our skin is restored to make our skin less sensitive and better able to hydrate properly. Therefore, with medical supervision and counseling to treat our skin from inside, the Obagi skin program tries to develop special skin products only suit the needs of individual skin. Again, Obagi emphasizes the idea of helping people keep their healthy and beautiful skin successfully for long, not only for temporary.
