Obagi Medical Grade Skincare products must be used under the supervision of an approved, trained skincare specialist and healthcare professional, with some products requiring a prescription.
Therefore, you will need to attend the clinic to have a thorough 30-minute consultation with Independent Nurse Prescriber Caroline. She will take a full medical history to determine if you have any underlying medical conditions or known allergies or are taking any medication that could make you unsuitable or contraindicated for their use.
If you are generally in good health, you should be able to use Obagi Medical Grade Skincare; they are suitable for men and women and will be prescribed according to skin type and concerns, with safe and appropriate ingredients for all skin colours.
If you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding or are under 18 years old, you cannot use the products.
It is important that you discuss what you hope to achieve from using Obagi Medical Grade Skincare so we can evaluate if it is the right treatment for your concerns.
You may be recommended the skincare range as an adjunctive solution alongside other treatments available at BU Aesthetics™ including Dermalux Flex LED phototherapy, Dermaplane facials, skin peels using the Obagi Blue Peel Radiance or alongside our various injectable treatments for full face rejuvenation with dermal fillers and PRP, depending on the type and severity of your skin concern.
All aspects of the products, ingredients, and how and when to apply them, including any risks, will be fully explained during your consultation.
The use of Obagi Medical Grade Skincare products is safe and effective for most people but must be done under the supervision and guidance of an approved and trained healthcare professional to avoid any problems with inappropriate use at home.
If the protocols are not followed correctly, under the given guidance, you can induce unnecessary sensitivities, so it is important to follow the prescribed skincare routine.
This is why the Obagi Medical Grade Skincare range cannot be bought in shops or online and is only available through approved clinic stockists like BU Aesthetics™ in West Kirby, Merseyside.
Your individual skin type and the concerns we are addressing will dictate the amount of time it takes to see results from using Obagi Medical Grade Skincare products. This will vary by patient. However, most people start to see noticeable results within a few weeks to a few months of regular use of the tailored skincare system.
Improvements will include increased hydration, clearer skin with reduced oiliness or outbreaks, fewer fine lines and wrinkles with better skin tone and texture, and improvements to hyperpigmentation and brown spots caused by sun damage, amongst others.
The key to maintaining results for anti-ageing or acne management lies in regular and repeated use of the Obagi Medical Grade Skincare to your prescribed routine or protocol to optimise and keep the continued improvements to your skin health.
If you’re unsure where to start, don’t worry, simply get in touch with BU Aesthetics™ or book a consultation with Caroline. She’ll assess your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
