Skin Health Products
A variety of active products that work both on the surface and below the surface of the skin. These products work to not only correct skin problems, but also to stimulate the skin to its normal function and to maintain skin health once it has been restored.
Latisse
There's been a growing interest in this product ever since it was introduced. And it's no wonder. LATISSE® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.
Discover the LATISSE® difference.
LATISSE® solution is an actual growth treatment. In fact, it’s the only FDA-approved treatment clinically proven to grow lashes. And it’s the only lash growth product of its kind available by prescription. So you’ll need to talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you.
LATISSE® grows lashes longer, fuller and darker.
LATISSE® solution is a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, as instructed by your doctor. Then, gradually, the results come in. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks. It’s not an illusion of growth. It’s your own eyelashes — only better.
How LATISSE® works.
LATISSE® makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.
The history behind LATISSE®.
Although LATISSE® is a treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with expertise in eye care products.
ZO Skin Health
by Zein Obagi, MD
Starting at age 30, skin cells become lazy and eventually go dormant. As cellular activity slows, skin begins to age - causing lines and wrinkles, laxity and hyper pigmentation. It takes high levels of active ingredients - like retinol, Vitamin C and lactic acid - to awaken cells so that they can produce collagen and elastin.
That's what Zein Obagi, MD, does best. When it comes to developing skincare products, he doesn't mess around. That's why ZO® Skin Health features high concentrations of active ingredients and potent formulas. The higher the concentration, the better the result.
Retinol is Dr. Obagi's hero ingredient, because it's the only topical ingredient scientifically proven to provide powerful anti-aging benefits. Some ZO® products contain 5-10X the industry average of retinol - because there's nothing better at stimulating cells. Even the moisturizers have retinol added to them - so they do more than just hydrate, they stimulate cellular function.
Obagi Skin Health System
Overtime, normal aging and damage from environmental factors such as sun, stress and pollution cause skin to lose its ability to renew itself. Cells turnover slows, causing the dead skin layer on the surface of the skin to thicker, which slows the flow of moisture from within. This results in dry uneven skin texture.
Daily exposure to sunlight causes the amount of pigment in each cell to increase, producing freckles or age spots and uneven skin tone. Collagen elastin begin to breakdown, causing the skin to lose its resilience, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.
The Obagi Skin Health System, which must be prescribed by a qualified physician, penetrates below the skin’s surface, at the cellular level, to correct damage in all layers of the skin. Dead skin cells are replaced by fresh cells that are pushed to the skin’s surface, making the skin surface smoother and naturally hydrated. Freckles and age spots disappear. Pigment cells (melanin) are evenly distributed, preventing the appearance of new freckles and age spots. The skin becomes richer in collagen and elastin, promoting resilience and firmness.
