Oily and combination skin is quite thick, shiny, poorly supplied with blood, with a greyish-yellow shade. Visible sebaceous glands in the form of pores are visible on its surface. They have a high tendency to the formation of stasis changes due to excessive sebum production, mostly in the central part of the face area. The aging process of this type of skin begins relatively late. It requires a special care that will ensure thorough cleaning of inflammatory changes and at the same time proper moisturizing.
WHAT DOES THERAPY FOR OILY AND COMBINATION SKIN INVOLVE?
Treatments for oily and combination skin focus on cleansing the sebaceous glands' openings, reducing sebum production, calming inflammation, and regenerating the hydrolipid barrier. We work with proven medical and cosmetic technologies:
- manual and cavitation cleansing - gentle removal of impurities and dead skin,
- hydrodermabrasion and oxygen infusion - antioxidant action and detoxification,
- chemical peels (including salicylic, mandelic, azelaic, pyruvic acids) - exfoliation, sebum regulation, and skin smoothing,
- mesotherapy with sebum-regulating and anti-inflammatory cocktails,
- microneedle radiofrequency and fractional (for acne scars),
- anti-acne laser therapy - reduction of C. acnes bacteria, decrease in redness and pigmentation,
- INDIBA® technology - regenerative treatments normalizing microcirculation.
All procedures are individually tailored by experienced cosmetologists and doctors according to the current condition of the skin, season, and therapeutic goals.
WHEN TO USE TREATMENTS FOR OILY AND COMBINATION SKIN?
We recommend treatments for oily and combination skin to individuals who notice:
- excessive skin shine - all over the face or in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin),
- visible, enlarged pores,
- frequent blackheads, bumps, and pimples,
- recurrent inflammatory conditions and a tendency towards acne,
- makeup longevity issues,
- tight, dehydrated skin despite oiliness,
- dull, muddy complexion,
- increased skin reactivity to stress, diet, or hormonal imbalances.
This therapy is also ideal as a preventive measure and treatment for skin during the adolescent period, after discontinuing hormonal contraception, with PCOS, insulin resistance, or as support for dermatological therapy.
EFFECTS OF TREATMENTS FOR COMBINATION AND OILY SKIN?
Treatments not only improve the appearance of the skin but also have a positive effect on its physiology, regulating processes in the sebaceous glands and the stratum corneum.
The most commonly observed effects of therapy:
- normalization of sebaceous gland function - reduction of skin shine and greasiness,
- pore cleansing and narrowing - improvement of skin texture and reduction of their visibility,
- mitigation of inflammatory conditions - fewer pimples, nodules, and redness,
- improvement of hydration in oily skin without overloading it,
- smoothing of the epidermis and reduction of unevenness,
- brightening and refreshing of the complexion,
- removal of toxins and stimulation of microcirculation,
- restoration of healthy skin tone and uniformity,
- assistance in healing acne scars and prevention of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Treatments also enhance the comfort of daily life - makeup lasts longer, the skin is less shiny, and becomes more predictable in its behavior.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR TREATMENTS FOR OILY AND COMBINATION SKIN
Although most treatments for oily and combination skin are safe and non-invasive, there are certain contraindications:
- active herpes or skin infections,
- inflammatory skin conditions in the acute phase,
- damage to the skin barrier,
- pregnancy and lactation (for some technologies),
- allergy to active ingredients used in treatments,
- treatment with retinoids (during and up to 6 months after discontinuation),
- autoimmune skin diseases.
Treatments should always be preceded by a professional cosmetology or medical consultation, during which we will assess the condition of the skin and the safety of the therapy.
POST-OPERATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS - HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE EFFECT?
To maximize effects and support skin regeneration, it is worth following a few simple rules:
- avoid intense sun exposure and use SPF 50 sunscreen daily - UV radiation increases sebum production and promotes the formation of discoloration,
- do not use cosmetics with alcohol, strong detergents, or irritating ingredients,
- avoid mechanical exfoliation for 5-7 days after the treatment,
- use gentle cleansing products and light moisturizing-normalizing creams,
- moisturize the skin regularly, even if it is oily - proper hydration regulates sebaceous gland function,
- avoid touching the face, squeezing pimples, and irritating the skin,
- maintain a healthy diet and reduce stress, which directly affects the skin condition.
Consistency and conscious home care are a natural extension of professional therapy effects. This way, your skin can be not only matte but also healthy, fresh, and visibly purified.
