Oily, Dry & Sensitive Skin treatments
Oily Skin
When the sebaceous glands in the skin make too much sebum, then oily skin develops, which can be felt clearly on the skin. Sebum is an oily, wax-like substance that hydrates the skin but also helps to protect it.
Too much sebum can cause the pores to block. Those blocked pores can then lead to large open pores, blackheads, pimples, and acne. Oily skin will show in complexion as shiny or greasy with open pores.
We are used to treating oily skin and working together to manage it over the long term. The correct in-clinic treatment and correct homecare products that work only for your skin will allow you to be free of oily skin, blackheads, acne, etc, over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aloe vera is good for some people suffering from oily skin. It can leave the skin moist and protected. An article in 2004 from “Trusted Source” found that aloe vera was actually a good moisturiser to use for oily skin. However, it would be best to still get advice from the Skin Revision Clinic, as the product may contain denatured alcohol, which may dry out and irritate the skin.
Once you are at the clinic, I will be able to assess your skin under the scanner. I can usually tell from experience, however, whether your skin is, in fact, oily or not. It is very common for people to think they have oily skin, and yet it turns out that the skin is compromised. (compromised skin barrier with lipid dryness) The skin is dehydrated, which means your sebaceous glands, which produce your skin oil. This means that it is producing more oil than necessary to compensate for the lack of moisture.

If I determine that you have sensitive skin, we would work out a treatment plan to repair your skin barrier function. This will help to relieve the lipid dryness. I would probably use DMK Skin Revision and LED light therapy.
