NU-DERM TRANSFORM YOUR SKIN FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Sun damage, also known as photodamage, can cause physical and structural changes to the skin, which may lead to age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. Watch this video for tips on how to help improve pigmentation problems and prevent future damage to your skin with Obagi Nu-Derm® System.

Skin aging is a natural process, but daily sun exposure can contribute to premature aging, slowing down the turnover of skin cells between healthy new cells and old damaged cells. The Nu-Derm System combined with tretinoin* (*Tretinoin cream is indicated for topical application in the treatment of acne vulgaris) is clinically proven to help address the signs of aging in all skin types.

The Nu-Derm System is an anti-aging system that transforms cellular functions in all layers of the skin, helping to make skin look and act younger and healthier.

The Nu-Derm System is an anti-aging therapy that penetrates below the skin’s surface to transform skin cell functions at the cellular level and correct the damage within...revealing healthy, younger-looking skin.

Nu-Derm is ideal if you have:

  • Age spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Rough skin
  • Skin laxity (loss of elasticity)
  • Erythema (redness)
  • Sallowness (yellowish complexion)
  • Hyperpigmentation (discoloration)

Transform Your Skin at Every Phase
There are 4 phases to skin transformation. Depending on your skin’s response to the treatment, each phase may last anywhere from 1 week to several weeks.
Phase 1. Remove (Weeks 1-6)
Clinical Action Skin Results
Penetration below the surface of the skin to correct signs of aging and acne flares. The top layer of the skin is exfoliated, removing dull, old skin cells to help promote new skin cells. Your skin will begin to adapt to the system. Expect to experience itching, dryness, and redness that should subside by the end of phase 2. You will begin to notice a more even-toned apperance of your skin.
Phase 2. Restart (Weeks 7-12)
Clinical Action Skin Results
Skin produces normal, healthy cells. Pigment cells are distributing melanin more evenly. Your skin is now adjusting to the system and you will notice smoother, softer, and clearer skin. Skin is becoming more even toned.
Phase 3. Refresh (Weeks 13-18)
Clinical Action Skin Results
Skin cells are in the process of transformation. Your skin is becoming:
  • Clearer
  • Firmer
  • Naturally hydrated
  • More even toned
  • Phase 4. Restore (Continued results, with proper maintenance)
    Clinical Action Skin Results
    Your skin looks restored.Healthy skin needs to be maitained. More radiant, even-toned, and resilient-looking skin.

It is very important to always wear a sunscreen, like Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 in the Nu-Derm System, and reapply sun protection every few hours while exposed to the sun.

    • Julie
      "I just want you all to know how much I appreciate your office and staff. I am doing well – it has been nearly two weeks. I am still sore but the bruising is going away nicely. I am still a little swollen but can definitely see and feel the difference I was hoping for. I thought it was pretty funny when Dr. Max was so candid and said – “I hope you don’t think you will ever have a completely flat tummy…” No, believe me after 5 kids – 4 births – and my mid-life I just don’t want to feel pregnant anymore and that is how I felt. So I already feel better in my clothes and my ego at this stage of my life is good. My emotions are in check right now and I am starting to think about my future as a single, but elderly lady. Thanks so much for the boost. Good work, everyone. Keep it up! I will check in the next time I am in Portland."
      Julie

    • Debbie B.
      "Dr. Max, Sonja and the entire staff make my visits feel relaxed and welcoming. I am so happy with my results! Dr. Max is a perfectionist, which is exactly what I wanted. He is caring! Never condescending. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the procedure or Dr. Max to anyone."
      Debbie B.
    • Amber M.
      "My experience at VIP MediSpa gave me freedom to be the young and healthy me that I feel I am – and to look the part. For the first time in many years I am not ashamed of my body! After years of wishing there was just some way to really be rid of my cellulite, I finally actually achieved what I thought might be impossible, and sometimes it still seems too good to be true. I would do it again in a second. Nothing that I experienced in my mesotherapy procedure was more painful than the years of hiding my body. I would do it again in a second!"
      Amber M.
    • M.B.
