Business Wire, August 22, 2007

LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (Nasdaq:OMPI), a leader in topical aesthetic and therapeutic skin health systems, today introduced two new Obagi[R] Condition & Enhance Systems. One is designed specifically for use with non-surgical procedures while the other has been developed for use with surgical procedures. Both Systems are based on Obagi's Penetrating Therapeutics[TM] technologies, and are designed to complement facial procedures and improve overall aesthetic results.

In addition to improving the overall skin appearance resulting from cosmetic procedures (including Botox[R], fillers, microdermabrasion, laser procedures and chemical peels):

The Obagi Condition & Enhance System for Use with Non-Surgical Procedures:

* Evens skin tone and reduces hyperpigmentation

* Assists in achieving a greater overall improved appearance of the face

* Promotes overall skin health

The Obagi Condition & Enhance System for Use with Surgical Procedures:

* Optimizes penetration and prepares the skin for the procedure

* Assists in reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

* Evens mottled hyperpigmentation (discoloration)

Rick Kozloski, Vice President Marketing & Dermatology of Obagi Medical Products, stated, "Americans spent $12 billion on plastic surgical procedures last year. Obagi has gathered compelling clinical data to support the benefits of the use of these new systems in conjunction with both non-surgical and surgical facial aesthetic procedures. We believe that physicians can help their patients achieve greater satisfaction from these procedures by using the Obagi Condition & Enhance System."

The System for non-surgical procedures contains six products including Foaming Gel, Toner, Clear, Exfoderm Forte, Blender and Healthy Sunscreen SPF 35. The System for surgical procedures includes Gentle Cleanser, Toner, Exfoderm, Blender, Healthy Sunscreen SPF 35 and Physical UV Block. Each System retails for $408 and the travel size System retails for $199. The Obagi Condition & Enhance Systems are available at dermatologists' and plastic surgeons' offices nationwide starting today.
