Ever wonder why we don't just jump straight to the laser?
In this reel, Dr. Obagi breaks down the essential prep phase of a truly customized skin treatment plan.
For this patient, the goal is clear: addressing those superficial dark spots. But even for surface-level pigmentation, jumping into a procedure without the right foundation can lead to inconsistent results.
Dr. Obagi prescribes a specific ZO® Skin Health cream program. Think of this as training for the skin cells. For 6 weeks, this routine will help:
✔ Calming the cells responsible for pigment.
✔ Strengthen the skin barrier.
✔ Will act as a "preconditioning" to ensure that when the laser does hit the skin, it’s working on a healthy, responsive canvas. Only moving to the laser phase if the cream program hasn't already cleared the superficial spots.
This conservative, health-first approach is what defines the ZO® Philosophy. By prioritizing your skin's health first, we ensure a safer, more predictable, and better transformation.
