Shine-Free, Healthy Skin
That sticky feeling on your face during the day, unwanted shine in the T-zone when you look in the mirror, enlarged pores and makeup not staying on your face... For those with oily skin, these conditions are a tiring part of daily life.
Solution to the Problem of Oily Skin with Hydrafacial
Shine or Glow? Defining Oily Skin Problems Correctly
There is a subtle but important difference between the natural glow of healthy skin and the shine of oily skin. Glow comes from the healthy structure of the skin, which is moist, smooth and reflects light. Shine, on the other hand, is the oily appearance created by the excess sebum layer accumulated on the skin surface. Oily skin is not only an aesthetic problem; it is also a biological condition that paves the way for enlarged pores, blackheads (comedones) and acne formation. Our goal is to eliminate that annoying shine while maintaining the skin's radiance.
Why Is Our Skin Excessively Oily? Underlying Causes of Sebum Production
Sebum (skin oil) is actually vital for our skin. It moisturizes, protects and keeps the skin supple. But problems start when the “sebaceous glands” (oil glands) overwork. The causes of this overproduction are:
- Genetics and Hormones: They are the biggest factors. Especially during puberty, pregnancy or periods of stress, the increase in androgen hormones triggers fat production.
- Wrong Skin Care: Using soaps or alcoholic products that over-dry the skin causes the skin to receive the signal “I'm dry, I need to produce more oil” and the “rebound” effect causes it to become more oily.
- Environmental Factors: Hot and humid weather can increase the activity of the sebaceous glands.
- Nutrition: Consumption of foods with a high glycemic index (sugary and floury) can increase insulin levels and trigger adiposity.
Why Hydrafacial is the "Gold Standard" for Oily Skin
Conventional skin treatments usually remove oil from the surface or try to empty the pores with manual squeezing. These procedures can irritate the skin and are short-lived. Hydrafacial offers a different approach thanks to Vortex-Fusion® technology:
- Deep Cleaning without Irritation: With its vacuum power, it draws the oil at the bottom of the pores, so there is no need to squeeze.
- Chemical Peeling Effect: Dissolves fats with salicylic acid.
- Maintaining Moisture Balance: It removes the oil and replaces it with moisture (hyaluronic acid), so the skin does not dry out and does not produce oil in response.
3-Step Oil Check and Purification Protocol
The Hydrafacial protocol we apply for oily skin includes special solutions that target sebum balance at every stage.
Step 1: Deep Peeling with Salicylic Acid Power
The solution “GlySal™” (a mixture of Glycolic and Salicylic Acid) applied at the beginning of the treatment is a miracle for oily skin. Salicylic acid (BHA) is a fat-soluble acid. Thanks to this property, it seeps into the pores and dissolves frozen, hardened sebum and dead cells. This step softens the blockages and prepares for the next step.
Step 2: Physical Cleaning of Pores with Vacuum Technology
“This step with the ”Beta-HD™ Clear“ solution and the ”Vortex-Extraction™" head is the favorite part for oily skin. The device draws oil, blackheads and impurities from the pores with a powerful vacuum while soothing the skin with a solution containing honey extract and willow bark extract. At the end of the process, the cloudy liquid that accumulates in the waste container is the most tangible proof of how much oil and dirt has been removed from your skin.
Step 3: Balancing Fat with "Moisture" (The Importance of Hydration)
Contrary to what many people think, oily skin also needs moisture (water). In fact, dehydrated skin produces more oil to protect itself. The “Antiox+™” serum infused into the skin at the final stage of the Hydrafacial provides an oil-free moisturization. Its low molecular hyaluronic acid content deeply moisturizes the skin without weighing it down or clogging pores. This allows the skin to restore its oil-moisture balance (hydrolipid balance).
Expectations After Treatment: Mattification and Pore Tightening
Immediately after the Hydrafacial session, your skin feels noticeably refreshed, clean and matte. Pores appear tightened and smaller as they are emptied. With regular sessions (initially 2-3 weeks apart, then once a month), the sebaceous glands are “trained” and excess sebum production is permanently balanced. The skin gets rid of that oily shine and regains a healthy, velvety texture.
Hydrafacial's Extra Weapon for Oily Skin: Blue LED Light Therapy
A must for the Hydrafacial protocol for oily and acne-prone skin Blue LED Light Therapyis. At the end of the treatment, blue light applied to the skin slows down the activity of the sebaceous glands and P. acnes bacteria by targeting and destroying them. This both reduces existing oiliness and helps prevent future acne breakouts.

The Biggest Mistakes in Home Care for Oily Skin
Here's what not to do at home to maintain the result we achieved in the clinic:
- Washing the skin with harsh soaps until it is squeaky clean (dries the skin and increases oiliness).
- Not using moisturizer (skipping moisturizer by saying “My skin is already oily” leads to dehydration).
- Constantly touching and squeezing the face with the hand.
About oily skin care American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) also emphasizes the importance of gentle cleansing and the use of oil-free moisturizers.
