What it is and how it works

Enlarged pores, shine and uneven texture can have several causes, from oil production and genetics to sun damage and ageing skin. Your consultation pinpoints what is driving yours. A medically trained clinician assesses your sin and recommends the approach most likely to help. That may be an in-clinic treatment, a skin-quality course, medical-grade skincare, or a combination.

  • An in-person skin assessment by a medical clinician
  • A plan tailored to your pores, oiliness and texture
