Obagi post-treatment

Now your first session is complete you’ll want to ensure you get the very best results and, to some extent, that’s up to you!  These are a few suggestions that will make a significant difference to both short and longer term outcomes.  Please take the time to read and follow the advice here.

Important information

Your skin care Technician will have designed a Nu-Derm system that is just for your particular skin type and condition.  It’s important that you follow the morning and evening routines to ensure you get the best possible results from your Obagi skin care.

Do not:

  • Let the products get into your eyes, nose or mouth – so keep away from your lips and rinse with water immediately with water if you accidentally get the products in any of these areas.
  • Use the products if you are, or might be, pregnant, without discussing this with your skin technician.
  • Use the products if you are breast feeding without discussing this with your technician.
  • Use the products if you have a history of allergic reaction or sensitivity to any of the ingredients.
  • Let children under 12 use the products.

Your step by step morning routine

  • Gentle Cleanser or Foaming Gel — Massage a small amount of cleanser and water onto the skin. Rinse with lukewarm water and gently pat dry.
  • Toner — Apply in the morning and evening after cleansing. Saturate a cotton pad and gently wipe over face and neck. Do not rinse off.
  • Clear — Squeeze a small amount (approximately 1 to 2 pea-size drops) onto your hands. Apply evenly to the entire face, extending to the hairline, over the ears, and ending with a feathering motion, or as directed by your skin care physician.
  • Exfoderm® or Exfoderm Forte — Massage a small amount (approximately 1 to 2 pea-size drops) onto the face until completely absorbed, avoiding the eye area.
  • Hydrate™ — Apply a small amount evenly to the entire face.
  • Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 — Apply liberally and evenly to the entire face 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply at least every 2 hours. (See product packaging for additional usage instructions and warnings.)

Sunscreen use is an essential aspect of your therapy as even minimal sunlight exposure can result in brown marks from sun damage.

Your step by step evening routine

  • Gentle Cleanser or Foaming Gel — massage a small amount of cleanser and water onto the skin. Rinse with lukewarm water and gently pat dry.
  • Toner — Apply in the morning and evening after cleansing. Saturate a cotton pad and gently wipe over face and neck. Do not rinse off.
  • Clear — Squeeze a small amount (approximately 1 to 2 pea-size drops) onto your hands. Apply evenly to the entire face, extending to the hairline, over the ears, and ending with a feathering motion, or as directed by your skin care physician.
  • Blender® — Apply a small amount (approximately 1 to 2 pea-size drops) evenly to the entire face, or as directed by your physician or mix with a pea sized amount with the retinoic acid cream as advised by your technician.
  • Hydrate — Apply a small amount evenly to the entire face.

Improve your results

Treatment should be limited to relatively small areas of the body at one time as some patients skin going red and a mild burning sensation.  This does not mean you are allergic to the products and should disappear within a few hours.
