Oily Skin

OIL ISN'T THE ENEMY. IMBALANCE IS.

What Causes Oily Skin?

Oily skin is the result of overactive sebaceous glands producing more sebum than the skin needs. Genetics, hormones, climate, diet, and even over-washing can all trigger excess oil production. Left unmanaged, oily skin can contribute to enlarged pores, breakouts, and a persistent shine that no powder seems to solve. The goal isn't to strip your skin dry. Elite MedSpa uses treatments that regulate oil production and restore balance, so your skin works with you instead of against you.
