My Skincare with Obagi

chubbycat

Frustrated by the pigmentations, acne scarring and wrinkles on my face, I decided to do something to make a difference.  I consulted a few plastic surgeons and surprisingly they didn’t recommend any traditional skin care products at all based on my profile, instead they recommended that I start Obagi healthy skin restoring program.

Unlike traditional skin care products that only treat problems on the surface of your skin, the Obagi Skin Health Restoration System works at the cellular level. Under the guidance of trained physicians, the Obagi Skin Health Restoration System helps to correct surface discoloration, blemishes, and stimulate cell renewal to bring back the glow and softness of healthy, younger-looking skin.  Please go to http://www.obagi.com for details.

1.        The Nu-Derm System

The Obagi System will help to:

•  Diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
•  Increase smoothness
•  Reduce pore size
•  Improve elasticity
•  Generate a balanced, even skin tone
•  Normalize oil production
•  Correct blemishes
•  Reduce age spots and other hyperpigmentation
•  Increase the skin's own ability to hold moisture
•  Increase the skin's tolerance to external factors

I was advised to use the following products everyday for six weeks prior to the Obagi Blue Peel program:




含蘆薈成份,徹底清除臉部過多油脂及死去的角質細胞,同時亦能保存水份。
(適合乾性及敏感性皮膚)




混和維他命A酸,利用它的酸性分子,穿過細胞核與DNA起作用,發揮改善新陳代謝增生膠原蛋白,改善血液循環,達到去斑除痘,淡化皺紋等功效。





其美白成份可直達基底層,抑制黑色素之形成,淡化因陽光傷害或老化而引致的各種色斑,恢復均衡膚色。




含果酸成份,加強角質細胞更新,使老舊粗厚之角質恢復健康和正常的厚度,因而令肌膚光滑亮麗。




不含藥性，適合敏感皮膚，可代替SUNFADER使用；抗曬?力達12小時。其隔離數35度，對美白達至全面保護。


The Nu-Derm System is available only through a physician.

The Obagi BLUE PEEL is an in-office procedure designed to significantly improve the appearance and health of your skin.  Using a low concentration of the TCA (Trichloracetic Acid) mixed with a special blue base to slow penetration, the Blue Peel allows your doctor to monitor the appropriate depth to effectively remove the thin surface layers of aged and damaged skin from the face or other parts of the body.  These dead skin cells are replaced by healthier ones, allowing the skin's own clarity and tightness to resurface.  

The Obagi Blue Peel, if repeated over a period of time, can achieve the same result as a deeper chemical peel or a laser. Healing occurs usually in just 7-10 days.

The average cost would be from USD $300 to $1000 per procedure.

厉害！写的好！这个牌子的东西我老公也有再用。他脸上有豆豆疤，医生看了他的脸后给开了个含果酸成分的白天用的乳液，我刚开始还不敢让他用，怕脱皮什么的。不过现在看来很温和，效果也还算可以。只是着东西需要在医生那里才能拿到。

如果我没错的话，这家的东西是美白产品很好！
