Differences between Dry Skin and Dehydrated Skin.

What are the differences between dry skin and dehydrated skin? At first glance they may seem identical, but they are fundamentally different conditions that require distinct approaches to treatment. Let’s delve into the nuances that set them apart and explore the best ways to address each concern.

Dry Skin: Lacking Oil

Dry skin is characterised by a deficiency in natural oils, or sebum, which are essential for keeping the skin moisturised and protected against environmental factors. Without sufficient oil, the skin can become tight, rough, and prone to peeling or flaking. The skin’s inability to self-moisturise leaves it vulnerable, necessitating products that can replenish its moisture barrier.

Dehydrated Skin: Lacking Water

Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is a condition where the skin lacks water. This can make the complexion appear dull, tired, and devitalised. Unlike dry skin, which lacks oil, dehydrated skin still produces oil but suffers from a deficit in hydration.

At Kaya Cosmedica, we are proud stockists of Synergie Skin and SkinCeuticals, two of the most trusted and scientifically advanced skincare brands in the industry. Our selection of these premium products ensures that our clients have access to top-tier skincare solutions, formulated with cutting-edge technology and high-quality ingredients, to address a wide range of skin concerns and enhance overall skin health.

To further treat both Dry and Dehydrated Skin, consider a Dermafrac treatment.

Microneedling is a highly effective and minimally invasive skin treatment used to rejuvenate the skin and address various skin concerns. At Kaya Cosmedica, we utilise the Dermafrac system to combine microdermabrasion and microneedling with a simultaneous infusion of serums for comprehensive rejuvenation. This results in improvements in skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, scars, pigmentation irregularities and skin tightening.

Dermafrac makes it easy to address many of your skin’s most important needs with a single, powerful treatment. In a traditional microneedling treatment, a device containing multiple fine needles is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. The body responds to these tiny wounds by initiating a healing response that stimulates collagen production and cellular renewal. Microneedling can address a variety of skin concerns without significant discomfort or downtime.
