Medical-Grade Skincare

Medical Aesthetics of Oklahoma offers four lines of medical-grade skincare products: Obagi Medical, ZO Skin Health, EltaMD, and Skinceuticals. Medical-grade skincare is also sometimes referred to as cosmeceuticals. Medical-grade skincare formulations contain active ingredients that have been clinically proven to be beneficial to your skin. These ingredients are able to penetrate below the stratum corneum, the top layers of your skin. They offer aesthetic and medicinal benefits that over-the-counter products may not. OTC products are considered “cosmetic” because they do not have the ability to penetrate the skin’s deeper layers. Medical-grade skincare lines frequently contain identical ingredients to the pharmaceutical products that require a prescription. However, medical-grade formulations may use smaller amounts of these ingredients or alternative byproducts.
