Dry Skin

“I’m a better person when my skin is moisturised.”

What causes dry skin?

Usually, dry skin on the face is caused by a lipid deficit in the facial barrier. This deficiency in lipid oils hinders the skin's ability to retain water, resulting in dehydration and visible dryness on the face.

Various factors contribute to dry skin on the face, including environmental elements like dry climates, excessive UV exposure, and harsh temperatures.

Additionally, the use of certain skincare products or exposure to chemicals, such as chlorine in swimming pools, can further dehydrate the skin.

Genetic predispositions and medical skin conditions like eczema can also play a role in exacerbating dry skin concerns.

What are my treatment options?

To address dry skin caused by a lipid deficit in the facial barrier, these treatments can be utilised to restore hydration and improve the skin's overall condition:

  1. Skin Boosters: Injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the skin can help replenish moisture, improve skin texture, and enhance overall hydration levels.

  2. Chemical Peels: Gentle chemical peels containing hydrating ingredients like glycolic acid can exfoliate the skin, remove dead cells, and promote better absorption of moisturising products.

  3. Microneedling: This procedure involves creating tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production and enhance the absorption of hydrating serums or creams.

  4. Bio filler can be also be good option for dry skin as it can help hydrate and plump the skin.

  5. Polynucleotides: Derived from salmon DNA, polynucleotides are beneficial for dry skin as they are rich in nutrients and antioxidants. They can help nourish and hydrate the skin, improving moisture levels and promoting a healthier complexion. Also, they assist in repairing damaged skin cells, enhancing skin elasticity, and reducing signs of aging.

  6. Mesotherapy: A minimally invasive cosmetic procedure involving customised injections of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and medications into the skin's middle layer. It aims to rejuvenate and tighten the skin, target localised fat deposits, and promote hair growth. The technique is commonly used to address skin rejuvenation.

A consultation will determine the most suitable treatment based on your skin concerns and needs. Follow-up treatments and a consistent skincare routine tailored to address dry skin will then help maintain long-term hydration and skin health.

Recommended Treatments for Dry Skin

  • Skin Boosters

    Skin boosters, also known as dermal fillers or injectable moisturizers, are a type of non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin from within. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, skin boosters are formulated to improve overall skin texture, elasticity, and hydration.

  • Skin Peels

    A skin peel, also known as a chemical peel, is a cosmetic procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove its top layer, which consists of dead skin cells and imperfections.

  • Microneedling

    Microneedling, commonly referred to as collagen induction therapy, dermarolling, or skin needling, is a cosmetic technique that entails the repeated insertion of small, sterile needles into the skin. It is important to distinguish CIT from other applications of microneedling devices on the skin., dermarolling, or skin needling, is a cosmetic technique that entails the repeated insertion of small, sterile needles into the skin. It is important to distinguish CIT from other applications of microneedling devices on the skin.

  • Mesotherapy

    Mesotherapy is a cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other active substances into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm) to address various issues, such as cellulite, localised fat deposits, hair loss, and skin rejuvenation. It is used for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes and is intended to improve the appearance and condition of the treated area.

  • Bio Filler

    Bio filler made with PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a cosmetic treatment that combines the benefits of bio fillers with the regenerative properties of PRP. By blending natural fillers like hyaluronic acid with PRP derived from the patient's own blood, this treatment aims to provide a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

  • Polynucleotides

    Salmon DNA polynucleotides are bioactive compounds derived from the sperm cells of salmon fish. These polynucleotides are known for their potential benefits in skincare and haircare products. Rich in nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, salmon sperm polynucleotides are believed to help promote skin rejuvenation and hair growth.
