Understanding your skin
Dry, dehydrated or dull?
These terms overlap but aren't the same. True dryness is reduced moisture and lipids in the skin's outer barrier, making it feel rough, flaky or tight. Dehydration usually describes skin that temporarily lacks water. Dullness is a visual loss of radiance.
Age, weather, low humidity, hot water, harsh cleansers and over-exfoliating can all play a part, as can some health conditions and medicines.

When professional medical advice is better
Aesthetic treatment isn't a substitute for medical care. Please see a GP, pharmacist or dermatologist if your skin is severely itchy, cracked, oozing, bleeding, widespread or keeps coming back despite self-care. We may recommend medical assessment first, and treatment may be postponed if there's active infection, inflammation or an undiagnosed rash.

Is dryness the same as dehydration?
Not exactly. Dryness (xerosis) is a lack of moisture and lipids in the skin's outer barrier. Dehydration usually describes skin that temporarily lacks water. The signs overlap, so assessment helps clarify the priority.
Can home care be enough?
Sometimes. For mild dryness, the NHS advises emollients to soothe and hydrate, and pharmacy advice can be a sensible first step.
Which treatment gives the most glow?
There's no single best option. Skin boosters and Profhilo are often chosen for hydration, peels for surface texture and radiance, and polynucleotides or microneedling for broader quality concerns.
Will one session be enough?
It depends on the treatment and your starting point. Some are planned as a course; we'll explain the schedule before you commit.
Can treatments be combined?
Potentially, but not automatically. Sometimes a staged plan is better. We only combine treatments where there's a clear reason and you're suitable.
