Abstract
Objective: To describe the main treatments for skin oils, as well as to analyze the efficiency and whether or not there is a need for new protocols and treatments for this dysfunction. Methods: It is an integrative literature search where a search was carried out in databases such as Virtual Health Library (BVS), PubMed, Scielo and Science direct, using the following inclusion criteria: articles that are among the years of 2000 to 2020. The selected languages were Portuguese, Spanish and English. From this research, a total of 31 articles were used to write the article. Results: For the treatment of greasiness, the alternatives are the use of topical assets, acids and aesthetic treatments done in the office using a needle or equipment. It was possible to observe that there are treatments for skin oils, however, they do not present results with significant effectiveness. Considerations finales: The treatments most used today are those of topical use, as acids or actives. In addition, we observed that botulinum toxin is a treatment option that is still under study, but that can become a great option for direct treatment of sebaceous gland.
