Home : Advanced Skin Care : Obagi Nu-Derm : Photo Gallery - Obagi Nu-Derm

We, at the Plastic Surgery Center, have been thrilled with the results we are achieving in the control of pigmentary problems usually due to sun damage, smoking, hormones and trauma. We would like to share some of these results with you including some of our own staff members. In an effort to show realistic detail (which is often difficult to photograph), the patients were photographed without a flash and without makeup. Note that frequently the color of the skin is transformed from a yellow brown sallow appearance to a rosy radiant appearance. This is due to the effectiveness of the products and increased blood supply to the dermis (under portion of the skin). Please click "magnifying glass" for sharper image.

Obagi Nu-Derm Products
Most people think of sun damage and blotchy hyperpigmentation as it relates to the face. There are other areas of the body that are prone to sun damage such as the neck, upper chest, back and arms. The Obagi NuDerm System is effective for these areas as shown in this 40-year-old female with hyperpigmentation (melasma) on both forearms.

At times, hyperpigmentation may be a result of trauma, such as a burn on the leg from a motorcycle exhaust, or blunt trauma causing bleeding under the skin resulting in later hyperpigmentation of the involved area. All of these areas respond to the Obagi Nu-Derm Advanced Skincare System.
