Can I Use Obagi Skin Care Products Without a Doctor's Prescription?
I would like to try obagi products for my bad acne under my chin area. Can I purchase obagi online and start using it? If yes, can you direct me on which product to purchase. Is it wise to use obagi without doctors consultation?
Obagi and prescriptions
Obagi is incredibly effective when used correctly. In my practice, we prescribe and carefully follow our patients to achieve wonderful results. There are Obagi products that do not require a prescription. Those with medically regulated ingredients or products that the FDA has deemed require physician supervision are prescription-based. Using prescription products without physician input is inherently dangerous. Don't take short cuts on your health! I hope this helps!
Every patient’s anatomy is unique, and treatment recommendations should be based on a thorough in-person evaluation by a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your individual goals, anatomy, and medical history.
Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery requires years of specialized surgical training beyond medical school and residency.
