This can vary depending on the severity of the acne, however most patients see a difference in as little as 10-14 days. It is advised to use the products for at least 3-4 months for maximum results.
On average 3-4 months, however this depends on the usage of the products. If the products are used once a day, they will last approximately 4 months and if used twice a day on average 2 months. The usage and dose of each product is advised by our doctor, depending on the severity of the acne.
Absolutely! Every single patient will receive a detailed skin regime, which outlines how and when to use the products. This is a bespoke treatment plan, after a thorough consultation and assessment with our doctor. We will then review you every two weeks, to ensure you are getting maximum results and can also adjust doses of each product if required. This is a very closely monitored treatment plan to help you achieve the best results.
As this is a prescription strength system, a consultation is required to assess your skin first and then it can be prescribed by our doctor if deemed suitable for you. This can be done virtually or in clinic. Virtual consultations involve you emailing clear pictures of your skin with your name and contact number and then we can arrange a telephone consultation with our doctor. The products can then be prescribed and ordered for next day delivery.
You may experience dryness and flaking in the first few weeks. It is generally a well tolerated treatment with minimal side effects. Other side effects are discussed in detail in your consultation.
As the products can dry out your skin, it is extremely important to use a good, water based moisturiser that will not clog your pores. We recommend using the Obagi Hydrate alongside the Clenziderm system, which is a light weight, non-comedogenic moisturiser and it is suitable for all skin types.
We also advise using SPF 50 every day to protect your skin from sun damage. Mineral based SPFs are better than chemical ones, as they are less irritant and do not clog your pores. We recommend the Obagi Sunshield Matte SPF 50, which is lightweight and great for acne prone skin.
Some patients may also benefit from incorporating a retinol in their regime, which can help with break outs and scarring.
Unfortunately, this system cannot be used during pregnancy due to the active ingredients, however there are other products which you can use to help control break outs. Contact us via email for more information.
They can be sold separately depending on your skin concerns. The foaming cleanser is particularly effective for oily skin and can be used along side other products in the Obagi range if needed. The pore therapy can also be used as a toner alongside other products.
