Obagi Skintrinsiq

The Skintrinsiq device extracts impurities to deeply cleanse your skin and then infuses proven Obagi products through those open channels. When the vacuum is removed, the channels close to lock the products into your skin where they can’t be rubbed away and will continue to work after your treatment is over.

The Skintrinsiq device is backed by 30 years of scientific skincare research and development by the experts at Obagi. Its innovative pneumatic technology gently lifts your skin to open channels into its surface layers.

Does the Skintrinsiq device use dermabrasion?

No, the Skintrinsiq device does not remove top layers of skin to infuse products. Instead, its innovative pneumatic technology gently lifts your skin to open channels in the surface layers. Deep debris and impurities are extracted and your chosen Obagi treatments are infused through those channels. When the treatment is over, the channels close and your skincare products are locked into your skin to continue working.

How often should I get a Skintrinsiq treatment?

One to two treatments a month will accelerate and enhance the results you’ll see with your Obagi skincare routine. You should continue using your Obagi products at home to get the most from your Skintrinsiq treatments. Your skincare professional will work with you to create a personalized plan that’s right for you.

Do Skintrinsiq treatments include LED light therapy?

Yes, you can add both blue and red LED light therapy to your Skintrinsiq treatment. In the extraction phase, blue light can help remove surface bacteria that can cause blemishes and improve the appearance of oily skin and clogged pores. In the infusion phase, red light stimulates your skin’s natural rejuvenation to help it look smoother and firmer.

Thanks to the innovative technology of Skintrinsiq, you can add simultaneous LED therapy to either or both phases without adding treatment time!

Who should not get a Skintrinsiq treatment?

You should not get a Skintrinsiq treatment if you have cystic acne or moderate to severe inflammatory acne, atopic dermatitis, a rosacea or psoriasis flare-up, or a sunburn. You should also avoid Skintrinsiq treatments if you are allergic to any of the products.

Let your skincare professional know if you have had:

A facial in the past 2 days
Facial waxing or laser hair removal/electrolysis in the past 5 days
Microderm infusion, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, or injectables/dermal fillers in the past 7 days • Chemical peel or eyebrow microneedling/microblading in the past 14 days
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy or a photofacial in the past 4 weeks
A laser procedure or cosmetic surgery in the past 3 to 6 months
Treatment with Accutane, chemotherapy, or radiation in the past 6 months

Your skincare professional can tell you if a Skintrinsiq treatment is right for you.

Is Skintrinsiq treatment the same as skin resurfacing?

No. Other types of skincare devices use dermabrasion to remove a surface layer of skin to cleanse and then apply products.

The Skintrinsiq device does not rely on dermabrasion. Instead, its innovative pneumatic technology gently lifts the surface layers of your skin to open channels. Deep debris and impurities are lifted out and then Obagi products are infused into your skin through these channels.

When the handpiece is removed, the channels close and your Obagi skincare products are locked in so they continue to work after your treatment is over. This means little irritation or redness, so you have no downtime after your treatment. You can go
about your normal day and even put on makeup.

Can I get Skintrinsiq treatments for areas other than my face, such as my back, neck, or hands?

For now, the Skintrinsiq device is designed only for your face, but Obagi research and development scientists are always working on innovative ways to expand the Skintrinsiq treatment experience to other parts of the body. Stay tuned!

What are the benefits of using blue or red LED light therapy for such a short amount of time during the treatment?

Even with brief application, research shows that blue and red LED light therapies can have a number of benefits. Blue LED light has been shown to reduce bacteria on the surface of the skin and can improve the appearance of oily skin and congested pores. Red LED light stimulates your skin’s natural renewal and rejuvenation process to help it look smoother and firmer. Red LED light also soothes your skin, reducing the appearance of superficial redness, and locks in the benefits of your infused Obagi products.

What are the wavelengths of the blue and red LED light therapies included with Skintrinsiq treatments?

Blue LED wavelengths are 450 to 495 nanometers. Red LED wavelengths are longer at 620 to 750 nanometers.

What products should I use at home after my Skintrinsiq treatments?

Work with your skincare professional to develop a home routine that’s right for you and will meet your personal goals. Obagi has a wide range of products for any skin type that are all enhanced by the effects of Skintrinsiq treatments.

Can I have other treatments in combination with Skintrinsiq?

Skintrinsiq treatments are recommended as your sole professional facial to ensure the benefits of the Obagi products are locked into the surface layers of your skin. However, if you would like to couple this treatment with another, please consult your skincare professional, who can make the best recommendation for your unique skin.
