Obagi

Obagi is a skin care system designed to both prevent and improve many skin conditions in adult skin including sun damage, hyper pigmentation, age spots, acne, and rosacea

Obagi encompasses a range of clinically-proven treatment programmes selected for an individual based on their skin, and what they would like to achieve.

Programmes can be designed to rejuvenate dull, damaged or lifeless skin, to minimise pigmentation, to treat acne, to prevent ageing or a combination of these. They will usually consist of a series of topical treatments provided on prescription from Westfield Aesthetics, and which may be supplemented with skin peels, though many patients find that this is not necessary.

Unlike many other skin programmes Obagi can be used safely in Asian or black patients as an effective skin treatment programme.

Each bespoke programme is selected in joint consultation with Dr Narayan, who will then prescribe the individualised regime. A follow up appointment will then be arranged to assess progress and formulate an ongoing management plan.
