Discover Brighter, Smoother Skin with Prescription-Strength Care
Are you noticing dark spots or uneven skin tone across your face, chest, or hands? Whether it’s due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or aging, these common skin concerns don’t have to be permanent.
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and The Spa Side in Eugene, we proudly offer the Obagi® skin care line, a trusted and physician-exclusive brand designed to address melasma, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage—with results that are both safe and visibly dramatic.
What Causes Uneven Skin Tone and Discoloration?
Skin discoloration and blotchy patches often appear due to:
-
Cumulative sun damage
-
Hormonal changes (pregnancy or birth control)
-
Aging
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne or other skin conditions
These issues can cause brown spots, age spots, and even melasma, which often appears as a grayish mask across the nose, cheeks, or forehead.
The good news? These concerns are treatable—especially with the right medical-grade skincare.
Why Choose Obagi®?
Obagi® is the #1 physician-dispensed skin care brand, offering targeted solutions with clinical-strength ingredients that penetrate the skin more deeply than over-the-counter products.
One of the most effective systems in the Obagi line is the Nu-Derm® System—also referred to as Corrective and Enhance®. This comprehensive skincare regimen is designed to:
-
Fade brown spots
-
Correct uneven skin tone
-
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
-
Rejuvenate overall skin texture
At the heart of this system is Obagi Clear™, a prescription-grade formulation that includes 4% hydroquinone, the gold standard for skin-lightening and pigment correction.
How Does Obagi Clear™ Work?
Obagi Clear™ targets the cells responsible for melanin production—the pigment that gives skin its color. When these pigment-producing cells become overactive due to sun or hormonal triggers, it results in blotchy, darkened areas.
Hydroquinone works by:
-
Inhibiting melanin production
-
Fading existing pigmentation
-
Evening out skin tone over time
By regulating pigment-producing cells at the source, Obagi Clear™ doesn’t just mask discoloration—it corrects it from within.
Obagi vs. Over-the-Counter Products
Unlike drugstore products, Obagi’s prescription-strength ingredients are formulated to deliver medical-grade results. They’re ideal for anyone struggling with:
-
Melasma
-
Sun spots
-
Freckles
-
Age spots
-
Acne-related dark marks
Many patients report visible improvements in just a few weeks, with full transformation often occurring within 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use.
Why Medical Supervision Matters
Obagi is a medical-grade treatment, which means it must be dispensed under the guidance of a licensed provider like Dr. Lee B. Daniel. This ensures your treatment plan is:
-
Safe and appropriate for your skin type
-
Customized for your pigmentation issues
-
Monitored for progress and adjustments as needed
Starting Obagi without proper guidance may lead to irritation or improper usage—so don’t skip the consultation step!
Who Should Consider Obagi?
Obagi is ideal for:
-
Men and women struggling with melasma or sun-induced discoloration
-
Post-pregnancy patients experiencing facial “masking”
-
Adults with sun damage on the face, chest, or hands
-
Anyone tired of covering dark spots with makeup every day
If you or someone you know has battled with persistent dark patches, now is the time to take action. Left untreated—especially with continued sun exposure—these areas can become darker and harder to treat.
