Oily skin is a common skin type, characterised by higher sebum production, which can contribute to clogged pores, breakouts and a shinier appearance. It is a normal variation, and choosing to manage it is a personal decision. Several approaches may help — the right one depends on your individual skin and is discussed at your consultation.
What treatment options are available at MedAesthetics?
- Cosmeceutical skincare: products with active ingredients such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid and benzoyl peroxide, which may help manage oil production, support exfoliation and reduce the likelihood of breakouts (available through our online skin store).
- HydraFacial MD: a non-surgical facial that cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates; for oily skin it may help remove excess oil and impurities.
- Aquagold: a micro-needling treatment that delivers a blend of non-prescription skincare ingredients into the skin’s surface, which can target concerns such as excess oil and breakouts.
- Peels: chemical peels exfoliate and remove dead skin cells; for oily skin they may help support oil balance and improve the appearance of texture, tone and acne marks.
Some treatments use prescription-only medicines. By law we can’t name specific products, doses or prices in public information — whether one is suitable for you, and its benefits, risks and alternatives, is assessed and discussed at your consultation.
Every treatment carries potential risks (for example redness, sensitivity or dryness) and some involve downtime; these and the expected recovery are explained at your consultation.
Individual results vary, and all cosmetic procedures carry risks and possible side effects — these are discussed with you at your consultation. Treatment at MedAesthetics is overseen by Dr Ehsan Jadoon (MED0001586460) — Registered Medical Practitioner (general registration).
