Obagi Medical Products Introduces Condition & Enhance Systems, to Aid Patient Results Pre- and Post-Medical Cosmetic Procedures.

LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (Obagi) announces the introduction of two topical skincare systems for improving overall facial appearance for pre- or post- cosmetic procedures such as Botox(R) Cosmetic, microdermabrasion, laser procedures, fillers and chemical peels. Obagi Condition & Enhance Systems have been shown to improve the overall look of the skin by helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while also improving mottled skin, clarity, sallowness, laxity and tactile roughness. The systems were developed for use before and after procedures and are available at dermatologists' and plastic surgeons' offices nationwide. E[acute accent]A recent study conducted by Obagi of over 2,500 patients who coupled Botox Cosmetic treatments with the Obagi Condition & Enhance Systems increased overall skin quality ratings by two and a half times. Patients that underwent more invasive procedures such as chemical peels and surgical procedures and used the Obagi Condition & Enhance Systems also experienced overall facial improvements. E[acute accent]In a second study conducted by Obagi of dermatologists and plastic surgeons, 97% of physicians recommended pre-conditioning with the Obagi Condition & Enhance Systems and 94% recommended using the system to post-condition. "These comprehensive skin care systems help patients before and after surgery," said Kevin Tehrani, M.D. "They aid in wrinkle reduction, improve complexion and soften skin before surgery, to the point that even some of my peeling procedures have probably decreased. After surgery, these systems help with healing time, and decrease the chances of some pigmentary changes following laser and other modalities." E[acute accent]Designed to prepare skin for surgery or aesthetic procedures while also aiding recovery, the benefits of pre- and post-procedure conditioning with the Obagi Condition & Enhance Systems were reported to reduce hyperpigmentation, improve skin texture and tone, improve and maintain aesthetic results, along with other benefits. The Obagi Condition & Enhance Systems reduce the likelihood of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, increase cellular turnover for healthier skin before or after procedures, and promote blood flow for wound healing. The most common procedures prescribed with the Obagi Condition & Enhance Systems included Botox, microdermabrasion, peels, fillers, IPL, laser hair removal and face lift.
