Obagi Nu-Derm: Transformative Medical Skincare
Obagi Nu‑Derm at Harley Street Injectables is a prescription‑only skincare programme for people who want to tackle sun damage, pigmentation and early ageing with something stronger than high‑street products. It is used as a long‑term, structured routine to gradually move skin towards a clearer, more even and healthier‑looking state.What is Obagi Nu-Derm?
Obagi Nu‑Derm is a step‑by‑step, medical‑grade system aimed at problems like age spots, mottled tone, rough patches and fine lines. Instead of a single cream, it combines cleansers, toners, pigment‑correcting products and stimulants that are meant to work together as a full regimen.
The Science Behind Obagi Nu-Derm:
The line typically includes prescription‑strength hydroquinone and, where suitable, tretinoin alongside support products containing antioxidants, exfoliants and moisturisers. Hydroquinone helps reduce melanin production in overactive areas, while tretinoin speeds up cell turnover and encourages collagen changes that can improve texture and fine lines.
How Does Obagi Nu-Derm Work?
Nu‑Derm formulas are designed to penetrate into the epidermis and influence how new cells form, pigment and shed, rather than just sitting on top of the skin.
Used consistently under medical supervision, they help even out pigmentation, smooth roughness and support a more resilient skin barrier over time.
Benefits of Obagi Nu-Derm
Medical-Grade Formulation:
Relies on prescription and clinic‑only actives with clinical evidence in photoageing and hyperpigmentation, rather than cosmetic‑strength brighteners alone.
Comprehensive System:
The products are meant to be used together in a set order – cleanse, tone, lighten, stimulate and protect – giving a joined‑up plan instead of a mix‑and‑match routine.
Visible Results:
With proper use, many patients see a gradual softening of dark patches, clearer overall tone and smoother feel over several weeks to months.
Long-Term Benefits:
Once the correction phase is complete, a modified plan plus strict sun protection can help keep results going and support better skin quality in the long run.
What to Expect During Your Obagi Nu-Derm Treatment
Consultation:
A clinician assesses your skin, medical history and goals and checks for situations where hydroquinone or tretinoin would not be appropriate, such as pregnancy or certain sensitivities.
Personalized Regimen:
A specific morning and evening schedule is built for you, including which Nu‑Derm products to use, when to add prescribed hydroquinone/tretinoin and how to adjust for your skin’s tolerance.
Application:
You are shown how much of each step to apply, in which order, and what short‑term reactions (dryness, peeling, redness) may appear while the skin adjusts.
Follow-Up
Follow‑up visits are used to monitor your progress, ease off or increase certain steps if needed, and decide when to move from intensive correction into a lighter maintenance routine once your main concerns have improved.
