Transform Your Skin with Professional Medical Grade Skincare

01Introduction to Medical Grade Skincare

Medical grade skincare is a category of clinically formulated products available exclusively through qualified medical professionals. Unlike cosmetic products sold over the counter, medical grade formulations contain significantly higher concentrations of active ingredients, such as Tretinoin, Hydroquinone, and Vitamin C, that are proven to produce measurable changes in the skin’s structure and function. At Dr Harry Clinic, every skincare regimen is prescribed following a thorough consultation, ensuring the products are safe, appropriate, and effective for your specific skin type and concerns.

02What Sets Medical Grade Skincare Apart

The fundamental difference between medical grade and over-the-counter skincare lies in the depth of penetration and the concentration of active ingredients. Standard cosmetic products are formulated to remain on the skin’s surface, providing hydration and temporary improvement. Medical grade products, by contrast, are designed to penetrate the epidermis and act at a cellular level, stimulating collagen production, accelerating cell turnover, and correcting pigmentation at its source. The results are not cosmetic; they are clinical and lasting.

03Targeted Treatments and Maintenance Protocols

At Dr Harry Clinic, we prescribe bespoke Obagi Medical regimens tailored to your individual skin concerns. Whether you are addressing hyperpigmentation with the Nu-Derm® System, protecting against environmental damage with Professional-C™ Serums, or maintaining hydration with Obagi Hydrate®, every product in your protocol works synergistically to deliver a comprehensive result. Your regimen is also designed to complement and prolong the effects of any in-clinic aesthetic treatments you receive.

04Personalised Skin Health Strategy

Healthy skin is the foundation of every great aesthetic outcome. Before recommending any injectable treatment, Dr Harry assesses the quality and condition of your skin. A personalised Obagi Medical regimen, prescribed and monitored by Dr Harry at our Chiswick or Covent Garden clinic, ensures your skin is optimally prepared for treatment and that your results are maintained long term. Members of Dr Harry Clinic receive exclusive pricing on the full Obagi Medical range, saving up to 69% on every product, every time.

Common questions

FAQs

01What is medical grade skincare?

Medical grade skincare refers to clinically formulated products that contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than those available over the counter. Because of their potency, they are only available through a qualified medical professional following a consultation. At Dr Harry Clinic, we prescribe exclusively from the Obagi Medical range, one of the most rigorously tested and clinically proven brands in the world.

02Is medical grade skincare really more effective than over-the-counter products?

Yes. The key difference is depth of penetration and ingredient concentration. Over-the-counter products are formulated to remain on the skin’s surface. Medical grade products are designed to penetrate the dermis and produce measurable, structural changes in the skin, including increased collagen production, accelerated cell turnover, and correction of pigmentation at its source.

03Do I need a consultation before starting medical grade skincare?

Yes, and this is a good thing. Many Obagi products contain Prescription Only Medicines (POM) such as Tretinoin and Hydroquinone. A thorough consultation with Dr Harry ensures the regimen is safe and appropriate for your skin type, medical history, and goals. It also means your regimen is monitored and adjusted over time for optimal results.

04Are medical skincare products suitable for sensitive skin?

Obagi Medical offers formulations suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin. During your consultation, Dr Harry will assess your skin’s tolerance and prescribe a regimen that introduces active ingredients gradually, minimising the risk of irritation while still delivering clinical results. Many patients with sensitive skin find that a properly prescribed Obagi regimen significantly improves their skin’s resilience over time.

    Dr Harry is absolutely amazing, I can’t recommend him enough. I had my usual skin maintenance treatments yesterday, and for the first time I decided to try a lip booster. Harry was so informative, knowledgeable, and reassuring throughout, and he made me feel completely at ease. I was originally offered standard lip filler, but as I’m in my 60s I wanted something more subtle and natural-looking, the lip booster felt like the perfect choice. I left the clinic with only a little swelling (nothing too bad at all) and my lips already look healthier, more youthful, and beautifully natural. I’m genuinely thrilled with the result and can’t thank him enough. Five-star-plus treatment every time. His prices are very reasonable, and his manner with patients is kind, professional, and wonderful. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment, even if I have to wait a few months because the results last so well. Thank you Dr. Harry ❤️

    Dr. Harry is incredibly knowledgeable and really takes his time to talk you through everything, answer any questions, and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the whole appointment. I never felt rushed, and he explained the treatment and expected results clearly, which made me feel really confident in the process. I’m so pleased with my results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

    Great experience for an ultrasound-guided filler dissolution treatment. Dr Harry was very patient, caring and professional. I really appreciated the thorough consultation and felt well looked after throughout the treatment. Very happy with the results!

    I visited Dr Harry after having my lips done by a few, other practitioners and my experience was positively incomparable. Harry was extremely thorough with his questioning, support and actual practice, I felt reassured and at ease, alike did my Mum, at the hands of Harry. I had 0.6ml of lip filler and was extremely impressed that he reevaluated my lips afterwards, adding in the remaining filler into specific areas. I did not have 1 single bruise, despite coming up black and blue in the past, and my lips are the most symmetrical they have ever looked. 1 million percent the best investment I have made to my face and I would never recommend going to anybody else! I visited the Chiswick clinic and it was beautiful🫶🏼 thank you Harry

    I went to Dr Harry Clinic after both a recommendation and doing a lot of research, as this was my first anti-wrinkle injection treatment and choosing someone I truly trusted was really important to me. From the moment I arrived, Dr. Harry immediately made me feel at ease. He was so lovely, professional, and took the time to explain everything in detail. Most importantly, he really listened to what I wanted - especially my preference for a very natural look. Two weeks later, I had my complimentary follow-up appointment and I was already so happy with the results. At the follow-up, Harry was an absolute perfectionist, carefully assessing everything to ensure it was as balanced and natural as possible, with a small top-up where needed. Overall, my experience exceeded all expectations. If it’s your first time having treatment, or you’re looking for a new injector, I genuinely cannot recommend Dr Harry Clinic enough. One of the best decisions I’ve made.
