Skin concern

Dehydrated Skin

Dehydrated skin lacks water, not oil, even oily skin can be dehydrated, and it shows as tightness, crepiness and lost bounce.

Dehydration is one of the most common findings at consultation, and one of the most misunderstood: it is about water content in the skin, not oiliness, so it affects every skin type. It often shows as fine crinkling when the skin is gently pressed, a tight feeling after cleansing, and make-up sitting poorly.

Pathways often discussed include barrier-focused medical-grade skincare, injectable skin boosters that hydrate from within, and Profhilo where laxity accompanies the dehydration. A consultation identifies whether your routine, your environment or your skin itself is the main culprit.

A note on suitability. The information above is general education, not a diagnosis. The right approach for your skin can only be determined at a consultation, where your practitioner will assess suitability and discuss realistic options, which may include skincare alone, or no treatment at all.

Consultation-led care

Start with a conversation about your skin

Every treatment journey begins with an unhurried consultation, an honest assessment of your skin, your options and what is realistic for you. There is never any obligation to proceed.
