Our office carries two product lines, M.D. Forte' and Obagi, to better serve your skin care needs. After a thorough discussion of your skin care needs and goals, we can get you started on the road to smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin.

M.D. Forte

Designed by Allergan, a globally respected pharmaceutical company that is a leader in dermatological research and technology,M.D. Forte' products contain Alpha Hydroxy Acid to normalize the exfoliation process and increase moisturizing of your skin. M.D. Forte' contains up to 2-3 times higher levels of Glycolic Acid than other similar products at comparable prices, without irritation. Your skin will most likely become softer and smoother within a few days and improvement will occur with continued use. In approximately 2-6 weeks, you should begin to see and feel visible results, depending on the condition of your skin prior to use. The look of fine lines and wrinkles will diminish, and the overall tone and texture of your skin will become more even. You will also notice increased hydration and suppleness of your skin. Glycolic Acid peels can accelerate these results. These peels, formulated in two strengths, are performed in a series tailored to your skin care needs and desired results. There are product lines for all skin types, including dry, normal/combination and oily skin. There is also a product line designed for problem prone skin to improve and prevent acne breakouts. In addition to the full line of cleansers, refiners and moisturizers, M.D. Forte' provides excellent specialty products including sunscreens (SPF 15-30), skin bleaching gel (for pigmented areas, age spots or freckling) and hand and body cream (especially for eliminating rough, callous areas on heels and feet).

Obagi

The goal of the Obagi Nu-Derm system is to create soft, radiant-looking skin, to increase skin tolerance to environmental assault and to restore normal skin functions. It corrects surface discoloration and blemishes. It also penetrates into the skin to stimulate skin cell renewal, improve circulation and help rebuild collagen. The Nu-Derm system is an at-home regimen using a complete line of cleansers, toners and creams. It incorporates the use of tretinoin (Retin-A) therapy to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, increase smoothness, reduce pore size, improve elasticity, generate a balanced skin tone, normalize oil production, reduce age spots and/or hyperpigmentation, increase the skin's own ability to hold moisture and increase skin tolerance to all external factors.

Obagi Blue Peel

This is an in-office procedure designed to significantly improve the appearance and health of your skin. Using a low concentration of the chemical trichloracetic acid (TCA) mixed with a special blue base, we can effectively remove the thin surface layers of aged and damaged skin, allowing the skin's own clarity and tightness to resurface. We control the depth of the peel to tailor the process to your skin's specific needs.
