Typically, by about 4 weeks your skin tone and texture will improve, and the blemishes and age spots will lighten. However, it can take up to 8-12 weeks for optimum transformation results. We will monitor you every 2-3 weeks, and adjust the doses if required, to ensure you achieve optimum results. 

There is minimal down time with this system. Some redness and dryness can be expected in the initial 2-3 weeks of using the products. Other side effects are increased sensitivity to sun, blemishes or pigment changes.

Most people are suitable, however this will depend on your skin, your medical history and skin concern. Suitability will be determined by our doctor after a consultation. 

Once the Obagi-C Rx treatment regime is completed and the skin concern is successfully treated, we advise stepping down to a maintenance regime. 

The products containing active ingredients cannot be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, however some of the other products can be used. We can form a bespoke skin regime with specific products that are safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 

You will require a consultation with our doctor to discuss your skin concerns. If you are deemed suitable for the treatment, our doctor can then prescribe the regime and products can be delivered directly to you within 1-2 working days. Please email to book a consultation. 

The Obagi-C Rx system is designed to treat mild-moderate sun damage and hyperpigmentation with the prescription strength ingredients consisting of hydroquinone and vitamin C. It is a shorter regime, generally around 8-12 weeks with fewer products to use everyday.

The Obagi Nu-Derm system is a more extensive skin regime for skin that is showing signs of aging and photodamage, including age spots, rough skin, dull complexion, and moderate-severe hyperpigmentation and melasma. The key prescription strength ingredients in this system are hydroquinone and tretinoin. It is a longer regime over 16-18 weeks.
