At Cambria Clinic, located in La Cañada, Valencia, we believe that every skin is as unique as the Cambria orchid that inspires us. This flower represents the natural beauty and specialized care we offer to each patient. Because knowing your skin with medical precision is the first step to enhancing it safely, healthily and durably.
In this guide we help you identify your skin type and understand which facial treatment makes sense in each case — no magic formulas, just the same criteria we use in consultation.
Natural beauty starts with knowing your skin
Every face has its own language: texture, shine, hydration, sensitivity... Everything tells us about its condition and needs. In our experience, when skin receives the right treatment, it not only improves its appearance: it recovers vitality, balance and confidence.
At Cambria Clinic we work with the premise that authentic beauty arises from the well-being of your skin, not from hiding it.
How to identify your skin type
Before choosing a facial treatment, it's essential to know your skin type. Analyzing it correctly allows us to select the most effective actives and techniques to balance it without damaging it. These are the signs we look for in consultation:
Oily skin
Constant shine, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), and enlarged pores. Tendency to blackheads, comedones and a thicker or more irregular appearance. Although it may seem resistant, it requires balancing excess sebum without dehydrating it.
Acne-prone skin
An inflammatory tendency with comedones, active pimples, redness or residual marks. Its origin is usually a sebaceous, bacterial or hormonal imbalance. It needs medical treatments that control inflammation, without aggressive products that worsen the condition.
Dry skin
Tightness, lack of luminosity, rough texture and fine flaking. It produces less sebum than necessary, which weakens its barrier function and makes it more sensitive to environmental changes. Its priority is to hydrate deeply and restore essential lipids.
Combination or sensitive skin
An oily T-zone with drier or more reactive cheeks. It may show redness, itching or a sensation of heat with certain cosmetics or climates. It needs balancing and soothing protocols that respect the skin barrier without over-exfoliating.
Mature skin
Over time, skin loses firmness, density and luminosity due to the decrease of collagen and elastin, and expression lines or sagging appear. The goal is to reactivate cell regeneration through advanced non-invasive medical techniques.
The best facial treatment for each skin type
At Cambria Clinic we personalize each protocol after a professional facial diagnosis, where we assess texture, hydration and sensitivity. These are our recommendations by skin type:
If you are not sure where to start, a professional facial diagnosis helps choose between protocols such as facial peeling, Dermapen or facial mesotherapy.
1Oily skin
Cleansing and balanceDeep medical cleansing with controlled suction equipment and mild acid peels (AHA/BHA) to regulate sebaceous secretion without drying. Meso Skin Dual, which combines virtual mesotherapy, microcurrents and blue LED light, to purify, calm inflammation and balance the skin microbiota. We can use microneedling and exosomes. For complete regeneration, the Reset Skin treatment with microspicule peeling improves texture and helps refine pores safely and progressively.
In our experience, results are visible from the first session: finer pores and mattified skin.
2Acne-prone skin
Comprehensive medical approachWe approach acne from a comprehensive medical-aesthetic focus. We combine professional antibacterial cleansing, high frequency and chemical peels with salicylic, mandelic or azelaic acid. Virtual mesotherapy with biological actives that regulate sebum and calm inflammation. In inflammatory phases, we apply blue LED therapy, which reduces bacteria and calms the skin.
For skin with post-acne scars or sequelae, we add medical microneedling (Dermapen), which stimulates collagen regeneration, improves texture and facilitates active absorption; and exosomes for post-inflammatory repair. The Reset Skin protocol with microspicules is ideal in maintenance phases to smooth, purify and renew the skin surface without irritation.
3Dry skin
Deep nutritionWe opt for gentle facial cleansing with hydrating and repairing actives; nourishing masks are our favorites to restore comfort. Virtual mesotherapy with repairing actives. The inclusion of hydrating exosomes boosts epidermal regeneration and reinforces the barrier function, achieving more elastic, luminous and comfortable skin.
We add draining massages to stimulate microcirculation and tissue oxygenation.
4Combination or sensitive skin
Softness and harmonySoothing and oxygenating protocols, with enzymatic peels and virtual mesotherapy with soothing biological actives. We use alcohol-free and fragrance-free products, and exosomes that restore skin balance and reinforce tolerance. The Reset Skin treatment adapts to sensitive skin through its progressive, non-abrasive renewal action.
The result is harmonious, uniform skin with an immediate sense of well-being.
5Mature skin
Firmness and luminosityWe combine facial radiofrequency with the Meso Skin Dual system, which integrates virtual mesotherapy, microcurrents and red LED light, to activate collagen synthesis and improve skin density and elasticity. This technology allows advanced transdermal penetration of vitamins, collagen and hyaluronic acid.
For skin with marked loss of firmness or dull texture, we integrate microneedling with exosomes, which act as biological messengers to reactivate natural collagen and elastin production. Reset Skin with microspicule peeling complements this protocol by providing immediate luminosity.
The result is a more defined, firm face, naturally rejuvenated, without surgery or prolonged recovery times.
Professional facial routine and home care
The success of a facial treatment doesn't end at the clinic. Results are prolonged and enhanced when skin receives adequate care at home, adapted to its specific needs.
At Cambria Clinic we design personalized routines based on each patient's diagnosis, taking into account their skin type, lifestyle and goals.
Our daily care philosophy
Caring for skin doesn't mean applying many products, but using the right ones. That's why, after each session, our medical team recommends a specific routine with highly effective cosmetics formulated with safe concentrations and clinically tested actives that complement the professional treatment performed in the clinic.
At Cambria Clinic, your skin is as unique as a Cambria orchid. We accompany you with personalized diagnoses and treatments that enhance your natural beauty, without altering your essence.— Dr. Camila Guzmán, Medical Director of Clínica Cambria

How can I know what skin type I have?
The ideal is to perform a medical facial diagnosis, where we analyze texture, sebum level, hydration and skin sensitivity through clinical observation and specific equipment. At Cambria Clinic, this diagnosis is performed on the first visit and allows us to precisely define the treatment and the most suitable actives for your skin.
How often should I get a facial treatment?
It depends on the skin type and the goal. Oily or acne-prone skin: every 3–4 weeks to control sebaceous secretion. Dry or sensitive skin: every 6–8 weeks to maintain hydration and comfort. Mature skin: every 4–6 weeks to stimulate cell regeneration. In all cases, our team adjusts the frequency after individual medical diagnosis.
Can I combine multiple treatments?
Yes; in fact, the best results are achieved through combined and personalized protocols. For example, we can integrate Meso Skin Dual with Reset Skin or microneedling with exosomes, depending on your skin's needs. The combination of techniques allows enhancing effects without damaging tissue.
What results can I expect after the first session?
From the first session you'll notice cleaner, fresher and more luminous skin. Over the weeks and with consistency, results become progressive: texture improvement, pore reduction, increased firmness and overall skin balance. Each treatment is designed to stimulate natural skin regeneration processes, not just to improve superficial appearance.
Conclusion
Knowing your skin type and treating it in a personalized way is the first step towards healthy beauty. At Cambria Clinic, each facial treatment combines science, technology and medical precision so your skin recovers its natural balance and looks radiant all year round.
