Quick answer
What Causes Oily Skin?
Oily skin is produced by sebaceous glands that make more sebum than the skin needs. It shows as shine, enlarged-looking pores and a tendency to blackheads and breakouts, mainly on the forehead, nose and chin.
Genetics and androgen hormones are the main drivers, which is why oiliness often peaks in the teens and twenties and may change with the menstrual cycle. Heat and humidity – such as Seoul in summer – and over-cleansing, which can trigger rebound oil, also play a part.
Oily skin is a skin type rather than a disease, and some oil protects the skin. The aim is balance, not complete dryness. If breakouts are frequent, the plan may include acne treatment; a doctor-level assessment decides.

FAQ
Oily Skin in Seoul – Frequently Asked Questions
How much is oily skin treatment in Gangnam, Seoul?
At Doje Clinic, the cost of Oily Skin depends on the areas treated and the bespoke plan designed at your 1:1 consultation with Dr. Byun Je-ik, so prices are confirmed after the doctor's assessment. Message us on WhatsApp for an initial guide.
Does skin Botox really reduce oil?
Skin Botox may reduce sebum production and the look of pores by acting on glands and tiny muscles in the skin. Many people notice less shine within one to two weeks.
How long does skin Botox last for oily skin?
Skin Botox for oily skin typically lasts about three to four months. Regular repeat sessions are needed to maintain the effect.
Will oily skin treatment dry out my skin?
Oily skin treatment aims to balance oil rather than remove it completely. The doctor adjusts dose and areas so skin stays comfortable.
Can I get oily skin treatment on a short trip to Seoul?
Yes. Skin Botox takes about 20–30 minutes with no downtime, so it suits short stays in Seoul. The full effect develops after you return home.
Does oily skin age more slowly?
Oily skin is often said to show fine lines later, but sun exposure has a far bigger impact on aging. Daily sunscreen remains essential for oily skin too.
Do the doctors speak English?
Yes. English consultations are available, with LINE & KakaoTalk booking. Book on WhatsApp at +82 10-6535-2110.
