Obagi Nu-Derm®
The cumulative stresses and strains of life take their toll on the skin but the Nu-Derm® system offers the opportunity to restore beautiful, younger-looking skin by targeting the ageing process at a cellular level.
- Boosts skin health at the cellular level
- Targets common signs of ageing for more visibly vibrant skin
- Addresses skin damaged from sun exposure
- Improves skin cell function for a longer-lasting refreshed appearance
- Combats causes of acne through better sebum control and cell metabolism
The natural ageing process is often blamed for dull and lifeless skin but many suffer premature ageing due to sun damage, smoking, poor hydration and nutrition, and other internal and external stressors. Nu-Derm® helps promote a healthy rate of skin cell turnover to replace dead and damaged cells with new, healthy cells, thus minimising common signs of ageing for a more youthful appearance.
Photo-damage & ageing
Common signs of photo-damage and ageing:
- Age spots (liver spots or sun spots)
- Crow's feet, laughter lines and wrinkles
- Dry, rough and scaly skin
- Sagging, lax skin
- Flushed, inflamed skin
- Tired, sallow skin
- Pigmentation problems (uneven skin tone)
The Nu-Derm® system can work to restore radiance after damage caused by sun exposure, stress, hormonal upheaval, and environmental stressors such as pollution.
Penetrating deep into the layers of the skin, the Nu-Derm® system addresses skin problems by restoring healthy function at a cellular level.
It is this deep restorative effect that creates the long-lasting anti-ageing benefits of the Nu-Derm® system for a fresh, healthy, and exuberant complexion.
Skin cell turnover significantly slows; old cells remain on the surface.
Outermost layer of the skin is dehydrated and skin looks dull and tired.
Abnormal skin cells in the epidermis cause rough, bumpy, uneven skin tone and texture.
Melanocytes produce excess melanin, resulting in matted discolouration and dark spots.
Collagen and elastin are damaged and the epidermis is no longer supported; skin is wrinkled and sagging.
Cellular turnover is increased and new cells surface. Even refreshed skin tone and texture.
The stratum corneum received essential hydration. Plump, nourished skin appearance.
Keratinocytes are repaired and epidermal cells become more uniform. Improved structure.
Melanocytes are regulated, skin coloration appears more even. Reduced hyperpigmentaiton.
Collagen formation is boosted. Stronger, more resilient skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions
When Are Results Visible with the Nu-Derm® System?
Although largely dependent on skin type, condition, and the specific treatment created for the individual, results are usually apparent within four to six weeks of using the Nu-Derm® System.
Why is the Nu-Derm® System Only Available Through Physicians?
The benefits of the Nu-Derm® System are due to a number of prescription-strength active ingredients that require careful application by a trained cosmetic surgeon, dermatologist, or medical doctor.
Why is the Nu-Derm® System More Effective than Store-Bought Skin Care Products?
The Nu-Derm® System has been specially formulated to achieve deep, long-lasting results for those wanting to rejuvenate the appearance by actively improving skin health at a cellular level. The system's ingredients include clinically proven, prescription-strength components that cannot be found in products bought at retail stores.
Are All the Nu-Derm® System Components Necessary?
The Nu-Derm® System has been developed to address a variety of causes of premature skin ageing through the use of complementary active ingredients. Some of these components help prepare the skin by cleansing and stabilising skin pH so that the other ingredients are able to penetrate more deeply and improve skin health at the cellular level. Discussing individual desires and skin conditions with the surgeon ensures that the optimal combination of components in the Nu-Derm® System are used for maximum benefit.
How Frequently Should the Nu-Derm® System be Used?
Everybody's skin type and condition is different, as are the desired effects of the Nu-Derm® System. As such, a specially tailored programme is created with the surgeon to meet individual needs and check-in appointments are scheduled accordingly.
Does the Nu-Derm® System Increase Sun-Sensitivity?
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is damaging to the skin and so it is wise to avoid extended sun exposure unless adequately protected. The Nu-Derm® System does not necessitate complete avoidance of sun exposure but it may be that the skin is more sensitive to heat and the sun and requires more protection than usual. Using a sunblock with SPF 30 or above is advised, along with a wide-brimmed hat to minimise potential damage and sunburn.
Is the Nu-Derm® System Suitable for Use in Pregnancy?
Due to the inclusion of topical hydroquinone in some elements of the Nu-Derm® System it is advised that those who are pregnant or considering pregnancy discuss the possible effects of treatment with their surgeon in advance. The effects of topical hydroquinone on the health of a developing foetus and on reproductive health in general remain unknown, necessitating caution in such cases until clear findings are unveiled.
