Janet McMahan

Janet McMahan has always been an energetic and happy person with a positive attitude. Unfortunately for her skin, she also has always been a sun-worshiper. In fact, she loved the sun so much that she used to schedule her college classes around peak tanning hours. Over the years, the repeated sun exposure took its toll on her skin, breaking down the elastin and collagen that had once kept her young skin taut and beautiful.

As she approached middle age, the strength of her skin decreased and she began noticing pronounced frown lines between her eyebrows from squinting in the sun. And, to her dismay, more and more people began asking Janet if she was angry or upset. Janet decided then and there that it was time to take action and made an appointment with a local oculoplastic surgeon.

During her initial facial analysis, Janet's physician helped her to develop a skin care regimen to help address the sun damage and also explained that the glabellar lines (the two vertical lines between her brows), which look like the number "11", were significantly contributing to the negative expression on Janet's face.

Her physician recommended treatment with Botox® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) to relax the dominant muscles in her forehead, allowing her to lose her "11". Since receiving her first treatment of Botox® Cosmetic several years ago, Janet says that people no longer comment that she looks upset and that she sees a less angry person looking back at her in the mirror.

"While pregnant with my second child at 23, I went through a lot of stress and, as a result, I began to lose my eyelashes... to the point where I literally had none! My eyes looked weird. It was embarrassing. I never realized the value of my eyelashes until they were gone.

To make up for the loss, I started wearing false eyelashes all the time, which wasn't always convenient. But, I kept wearing them... for decades! I'd pretty much given up hope of ever having eyelashes again.

Then, at age 61, I was asked to participate in a clinical study for eyelash growth by my doctor. He didn't make any promises, but I was hopeful. The results were amazing! Finally, my lashes grew back thick and long! I was so excited. Now I have beautiful, long eyelashes."

"When Latisse® came out, I was skeptical, but my doctor recommended it to me and within weeks I had lashes. Few at a time, but they were growing. In about two months, my lashes were thicker and darker. My friends and family see the difference."

After I got my Juvéderm® treatment, my friends were like ‘Wow, you look really refreshed!' Now I look in my mirror and think to myself, ‘I look good!'

I had noticed my lines before, cause I was putting a little highlighter on it, a little concealer. I'm a southern girl, we like our makeup, so I'd be like ‘Ok, just put a little…' I don't do any of that now. I wake up in the morning and I have a fresh face. I feel good about the way I look.

I think it's only noticeable in a good way, it doesn't look like something about my face is different, it's just like my overall appearance seems to be refreshed.

I was introduced to Obagi about 20 years ago when my mother used the product. It was an experience for our entire family...she really peeled!!! The results were beautiful! I always had the product in the back of my mind and used it for the first time this year. The results have also been great for me!

I know that my mother would be proud that I too have made the commitment for good...GREAT...skin care! I love Obagi and plan on using this spectacular product forever!! Good bye sun damage!!

Thank you Obagi for such a fantastic product line...and thanks to my late mother, Faye, for setting a great example for good skin care! Love you both!

My name is Debbie Pakzaban, I'm 45 years old, I'm married, have two daughters, and we live in Houston, TX.

I've been using the Obagi system for more than 8 years. I receive compliments every other day from friends or perfect strangers. No one ever believes that I am 45—they all think I'm in my late 30s. I am not one to worry about my age because my life is so happy and complete, but the compliments are great. I wish I could use it on my entire body. I forgot to mention how great my neck and chest are compared to women my age. My girls claim I'm the prettiest mommy at school.

Obagi makes me happy, makes me feel ready to face the world with confidence because I know my skin is the best it can possibly be.

I underwent chemo and radiation for cancer. Since these made me tired and I was working, taking care of my appearance was forced to take a backseat to other demands of life.

Upon completion of my cancer treatment, and while regaining my strength, I visited Dr. Beautiful to investigate the Obagi system, which I started that day. Many people asked my family about me and most of the time, I was right there. Yes, I had changed, had a positive, can-do attitude, my hair came back, I lost 40 pounds, but the thing I heard most was that my skin was beautiful.

Obagi gave me back some of what cancer took away. Dead skin from lack of attention was peeled away, leaving a fresh clean face with the smile of a positive, happy, cancer-free woman. Thanks Obagi and Dr. Beautiful as some people still don't recognize me.

Growing up in the 70s I was a sun worshipper. Our family went to the beach every year and I was always outside — never without sunscreen. Living in Louisiana, the humidity and 100 degree days can be brutal.

By the time I was 40, the signs of this abuse were beginning to show. I started with the Obagi C Rx system on the advice of my friend and aesthetician. The before and after was amazing! I get asked all the time, "What do you use on your face?" or "What kind of makeup do you use?" I hardly wear any face makeup — no need to. I love my skin and intend to use Obagi forever! My favorite is the serum, and I love the toner as well. Great product!!

I have been using the Obagi Nu-Derm line for 3 years now and I could not be happier or a bigger fan!

I am a 46-year-old woman...and we all know what happens to our skin after 40! Adding to age, I am a redhead and the sun does not like redheads!!!!

Since using Obagi, my skin has an even tone and is bright, moist and flawless. I have not experienced a single breakout, dryness, or sun damage (use the SPF cream every day).

It is our job to take care of our skin and age gracefully. I have been able to do this with using Obagi!!!!
