Dermatologists can be really expensive to see. Someone like Zein Obagi, who is based in Beverly Hills, charges an arm and a leg for his expertise. If you want to see a dermatologist who is highly skilled without spending a ton of cash or traveling far, I would’ve said good luck - but Dr. Obagi has made it easy!
The skincare professional has launched a virtual office that allows you to login and get an examination and tips - for free! You can even send in pictures of your skin that Dr. Obagi will personally view to give you advice on what exactly your skin problems are.
He can’t write you a prescription from virtually diagnosing you, but he can give you some educated ideas regarding how to clear up troubled skin free of cost.
