An OBAGI facial is a clinic facial that uses professional skincare products from the Obagi brand, usually cleansing, exfoliation, treatment products matched to your concern, hydration and sun protection. The brand name describes the products used, not a medical standard, and results cannot be promised.
Some Obagi steps are exfoliating and work like a superficial peel, which means the same considerations apply. The American Academy of Dermatology says peel results depend largely on the skill of the person performing them, and that superficial peels heal in about one to seven days.
We assess your skin first and tell you which products and exfoliating steps would be used, whether a different treatment would suit you better, and whether a doctor's review is needed. Our chemical peel page explains peels in more detail.
Dull, uneven-looking skin
Dehydrated skin
Oily or congested skin
Fine lines and early ageing changes
Mild pigmentation (with a plan for the cause)
Skin that needs a maintenance routine
Dr. Karishma Singh, Founder and Skin & Aesthetic Specialist (BHMS, FCHD), leads treatment planning and procedures. Dr. Monica C., Consultant Dermatologist (MD Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy; NMC-registered), assesses medical causes and prescribes medicines where they are needed.
If you have melasma, persistent pigmentation or active acne, we advise a medical assessment. We tell you at the consultation which concerns a facial can support and which need other treatment.
Consultation & Skin Analysis
We assess your skin type and tone, sensitivity, recent sun exposure, acne, medicines and products, and tell you which products would be used.
Cleansing & Preparation
The skin is cleansed and prepared. A small patch test may be done if your skin is reactive.
Treatment Step
Professional products are applied, including any exfoliating step. You may feel warmth or tingling.
Hydration, Protection & Aftercare
The skin is soothed and moisturised, sunscreen is applied, and you get written aftercare.
Brightening Facial
For dull skin and mild uneven tone. Pigmentation needs a plan for its cause. See our pigmentation page.
Hydration Facial
For dry, dehydrated skin.
Clarifying Facial
For oily, congested skin. Acne needs its own plan. See our acne treatment page.
Anti-Ageing Facial
For early ageing changes. See our anti-ageing treatment page.
Glow Facial Before an Event
Planning a few days ahead gives time for any flaking to settle.
Home-Care Routine
A matching home routine, if suitable, with sunscreen.
Skin may look fresher and feel smoother after a facial. Results vary from person to person and cannot be promised, and a facial does not treat scars, deep lines or established pigmentation.
Effects fade as skin renews, so a series and a steady routine matter. The AAD advises daily sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, reapplied every two hours outdoors.
The cost depends on the products and steps used, the number of sessions and review visits, and whether a home routine is added.
We don't work from a fixed price list. After your consultation you receive the recommended plan and a written fee, so you can decide at your own pace.
Starts with an assessment. So products match your skin.
Tells you what is used. Including any exfoliating step.
Is matched to your skin tone. Darker skin has a higher risk of dark marks after peel-type steps.
Includes sun protection.
Gives realistic expectations. A facial, not a procedure for scars or deep pigmentation.
Reviews and adjusts. The plan changes if your skin is not responding.
Redness, warmth and tightness can occur and usually settle within a day or two.
Mild flaking can occur for a few days if an exfoliating step was used.
Most people return to routine activities the same day.
Apply sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun for the days we advise.
Don't pick or peel flaking skin.
Use only the gentle products we advise.
Skip retinoids, strong actives and scrubs for the days we advise.
Skip waxing, threading and heavy workouts for the days we advise.
Tell us if you notice blisters, severe stinging or increasing redness.
Professional products can cause redness, stinging, dryness, flaking, allergic reactions and, rarely, burns or dark marks, with a higher risk of dark marks in darker skin tones. The AAD notes that risks rise when people skip sun protection, pick at skin or use indoor tanning.
Tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have sensitive or broken skin, a skin infection, a cold-sore history, allergies, or take isotretinoin or retinoids. Always tell us about every product you use.
