Transform your skin at a cellular level with prescription-strength, medical grade skincare. At Dr Harry Clinic, with dedicated locations in Chiswick (West London) and Covent Garden (Central London), we specialise exclusively in Obagi Medical, the industry gold standard for clinically proven skin transformation. Unlike over-the-counter products that sit on the skin’s surface, medical grade skincare is formulated with potent active ingredients designed to penetrate the deeper layers of the dermis. Whether you are targeting stubborn hyperpigmentation, active acne, rosacea, or the visible signs of ageing, our bespoke Obagi regimens deliver measurable, lasting results.
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.
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.
