Understanding Skin Dehydration
Skin dehydration occurs when the skin lacks sufficient moisture. Various intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to skin dehydration:
Intrinsic Factors
- Ageing: Our skin naturally loses its ability to retain moisture as we age. The production of natural oils decreases, leading to dryness and dehydration.
- Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to dry skin, which can lead to chronic dehydration issues.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, especially during menopause, can reduce the skin’s ability to maintain hydration.
- Health Conditions: Certain health conditions, such as diabetes and thyroid disorders, can affect skin hydration.
Extrinsic Factors
- Environmental Exposure: Prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions, such as wind, sun, and cold, can strip the skin of its natural moisture.
- Sun Exposure and UV Radiation: Ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage the skin barrier and increase moisture loss.
- Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, alcohol consumption, and poor diet can all contribute to dehydrated skin.
- Skincare Routine: Using harsh skincare products or over-cleansing can disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, causing dehydration.
- Air Conditioning & Heating: Indoor environments with air conditioning or heating can lower humidity levels, leading to moisture loss from the skin.

Skin Hydration Treatment FAQ's
Skin hydrating treatments are advanced cosmetic procedures that improve skin moisture levels, quality, and elasticity. These treatments utilise specialised formulations to enhance hydration from within, potentially stimulating the skin's natural processes and improving overall texture.
Individuals experiencing signs of skin aging, dehydration, or concerns about skin texture and quality may find these treatments beneficial. However, suitability varies, and a professional consultation is essential to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific needs.
Unlike topical moisturisers that work on the skin's surface, these treatments are designed to address hydration at a deeper level. They aim to improve the skin's ability to retain moisture and potentially enhance its overall structure and function.
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and backs of the hands. Some practitioners may offer treatments for other body areas. During your consultation, discuss your specific concerns with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment areas for you.
The duration of the treatment can vary depending on the specific procedure and areas being treated. Generally, these treatments are designed to be efficient, often taking less than 30 minutes. Your practitioner will provide a more accurate timeframe during your consultation.
Most patients experience minimal downtime following these treatments. However, some individuals may notice mild, temporary effects such as slight redness or swelling at the treatment sites. Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal recovery.
While individual responses vary, many patients report noticing improvements in skin hydration and texture within a few weeks of treatment. Optimal results typically develop over time as the skin's condition continues to improve.
The number of treatments recommended can vary based on individual skin conditions and desired outcomes. Your practitioner will develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include initial sessions and maintenance treatments to help sustain results.
In many cases, skin hydrating treatments can complement other cosmetic procedures. However, the suitability of combining treatments depends on various factors. Discuss your aesthetic goals with your practitioner to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
Certain medical conditions, allergies, or skin concerns may affect your suitability for these treatments. A thorough medical history and consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is essential to determine if this treatment is appropriate and safe for you.
