Dry and Oily Skin
Dry and oily skin are two of the most common skin concerns that affect individuals of all ages. A dry skin condition occurs when the skin lacks moisture, leading to a rough, flaky, or tight appearance. On the other hand, oily skin is caused by excess sebum production, resulting in a shiny complexion and the potential for clogged pores and breakouts. Both conditions can lead to discomfort and frustration, affecting your skin’s health and appearance. At IWH Medspa in Ventura, CA, we offer customized treatments to restore dry and oily skin balance. Our expert team uses advanced skincare solutions to treat the underlying causes of these conditions, ensuring smooth, hydrated, and balanced skin.
Treatment Options
At IWH Medspa, we offer a range of treatments designed to effectively manage dry and oily skin concerns.
For Dry Skin:
Medical-Grade Facials
Our medical-grade facials are designed to hydrate and nourish dry skin, using advanced ingredients and techniques that replenish moisture. These facials can also include gentle exfoliation that eliminates dead skin cells and promotes smoother, healthier skin.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
PRP therapy uses platelet-rich plasma to promote collagen production and increase hydration. It’s an excellent option for dry, dull skin that needs a boost of moisture and vitality.
Hydrafacial®
With Hydrafacial®, you can deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin. Using a combination of serums and vacuum-based technology, this treatment provides moisture and improves texture and tone.
For Oily Skin:
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Treatment
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target oil production and reduce redness, discoloration, and acne-causing bacteria. Non-invasive treatment is ideal for those with oily skin prone to breakouts or pigmentation.
Morpheus8® RF Microneedling
Morpheus8® combines radiofrequency with microneedling to help regulate oil production while tightening the skin and improving texture. This treatment stimulates collagen production, helping to minimize enlarged pores and prevent excess oil.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can help balance oil production by exfoliating the top layer of the skin and stimulating the production of new skin cells. They are especially beneficial for oily skin prone to acne and blackheads.
SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen® microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin that trigger the body’s healing response, helping reduce oil production, tighten pores, and improve skin texture over time.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What causes dry skin?
Dry skin occurs when the skin loses moisture due to factors like harsh weather, dehydration, or skincare products that strip away natural oils. It can also result from skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
What causes oily skin?
Oily skin is caused by overactive sebaceous glands that produce excess oil. Hormones, genetics, environmental factors, or even certain skincare products can influence oily skin.
How can I balance my dry or oily skin?
Treating dry skin involves hydrating treatments, moisturizers, and avoiding harsh cleansers. Using products that regulate oil production and prevent clogged pores is essential for oily skin. Customized facials and treatments like IPL or microneedling can help balance both conditions.
How long will it take to see results from the treatments?
Results can vary depending on the treatment. Many clients see improvements in hydration and skin texture after one session of Hydrafacial® or PRP therapy. For oily skin, more significant changes may require a series of treatments, such as IPL or chemical peels, over several weeks.
Is there any downtime with these treatments?
Most treatments for dry and oily skin require little to no downtime. Hydrafacial® and medical-grade facials have no downtime, while treatments like IPL or chemical peels may cause mild redness for a few hours to a day.
