Diagnosis:

There are genetically dry skins and environmentally dry, dehydrated skins. In both cases, symptoms can include dullness, flakiness, tightness or feeling like you can never apply enough moisturiser. You may also experience itchiness or a crepe-like appearance and some skin sensitivity due to compromised barrier function.

Some common factors that contribute to dryness and dehydration include the use of products that are not right for your skin, stripping the protective barrier. Also UV exposure, smoking, lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise and excessive alcohol consumption, pollution, stress and genetics. Certain oral or topical medications can also be a contributing factor. When the skin is compromised, it is very difficult for the underlying skin functions to operate at an optimal level. This can then have a ripple effect and cause other issues such as inflammation, dry acne, accelerated ageing and sensitivity.

Solution:

We approach this condition by gently building up the skin's protective barrier, slowly introducing active ingredients that increase and maintain hydration levels. We treat the skin's natural oil and water balance and deeply nourish thirsty skin cells. By increasing blood flow, we bring fresh oxygen and nutrients to the skin. With an improved barrier, the skin will look plumper, brighter and smoother.

Depending on the root cause of your dryness and dehydration, we achieve results through a prescribed home skincare system and professional treatments such as Ultra-Fusion which stimulates fibroblast activity boosting plumpness and hydration. Oxygenating enzymes increase lymphatic drainage and blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Nano-Fusion allows the skin to access active ingredients on a deeper level using personalised serums delivered via nano-scale openings in the skin. LED therapy boosts collagen and hydration. Ask Kristy for a program tailored to your individual skin needs.
