Dehydration and dullness
Skin that looks flat no matter what you put on it.
What's going on
Dehydrated skin is a barrier problem, not a moisturiser deficiency — water escapes faster than products replace it. The result is skin that looks flat, feels tight, and shows every line.
It is also one of the most satisfying concerns to treat, because the fix is usually straightforward: restore the barrier, then add light-catching treatments like hydration facials and LED.
Why it happens
- Barrier disruption from over-active skincare
- Air conditioning, heating and coastal wind
- Age-related decline in natural moisturising factors
- Not enough water in the skin itself
What can realistically be done
Hydration and glass-skin facials
Immediate, visible — the fastest honest win in the practice.
Skin boosters
Hydrate from within over a short course, doctor-prescribed.
A simplified home routine
Often the real fix is removing products, not adding them.
What can't
No facial fixes a broken barrier permanently — the home routine does the daily work. We will tell you what to stop using as readily as what to start.
What a first visit involves
Thirty to forty-five minutes with a doctor or nurse: your history, an assessment, and an honest plan with costs in writing. No treatment at a first visit. What to expect
