Dry Skin: Causes and Treatment Options
Dry skin can lead to rough texture, flakiness, and a tight, uncomfortable feeling. It can make the complexion appear dull and even contribute to premature aging. While lifestyle changes and skincare help, targeted treatments can deeply hydrate and rejuvenate dry skin.
Common Causes of Dry Skin
| Cause | Description |
|---|---|
| Dehydration | Insufficient water intake can make skin appear dry and feel tight. |
| Cold or Dry Weather | Low humidity and cold temperatures reduce skin’s natural moisture barrier, causing dryness. |
| Aging | With age, skin produces less oil, leading to a drier and thinner appearance. |
| Harsh Products | Overuse of strong cleansers or exfoliants can strip the skin’s natural oils, contributing to dryness. |
| Skin Conditions | Conditions like eczema and psoriasis can cause chronic dryness and irritation. |
HA-Based Skin Boosters (e.g., Boletero Revive)
- How It Works: HA (hyaluronic acid) skin boosters like Boletero Revive are injected to deeply hydrate the skin, enhance elasticity, and smooth texture. They work from within to replenish moisture, leading to softer and more resilient skin.
- Ideal For: Dehydrated, rough, or flaky skin and for patients looking to restore a natural glow.
Profhilo
- How It Works: Profhilo is a unique HA-based injectable that spreads naturally within the skin, boosting hydration, collagen, and elasticity. It helps improve skin firmness and adds long-lasting hydration.
- Ideal For: Aging skin, reduced elasticity, and patients wanting a dewy, youthful glow.
Treatment Options for Dry Skin
Our clinic offers advanced treatments to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate dry skin, improving texture, elasticity, and comfort.
Polynucleotide (e.g., Plinest)
- How It Works: Polynucleotide injections like Plinest help repair and hydrate skin at a cellular level, supporting collagen production and improving moisture retention.
- Ideal For: Dry, dull skin with a compromised barrier, and patients seeking deeper hydration and improved skin texture.
Biostimulators (e.g., Juvelook and Radiesse)
- How It Works: Biostimulators such as Juvelook and Radiesse stimulate collagen production, improving skin structure and elasticity over time. Radiesse, in particular, also helps with volume loss and texture, while Juvelook enhances hydration and regeneration.
- Ideal For: Skin with signs of aging, dehydration, and reduced elasticity, as well as those seeking long-term improvements in texture and firmness.
Tips for Maintaining Hydrated Skin
In addition to treatments, simple skincare steps can help keep skin hydrated:
- Moisturize Regularly: Use a moisturizer suited to your skin type to maintain a healthy barrier.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support skin hydration from within.
- Avoid Over-Washing: Use gentle cleansers to avoid stripping the skin’s natural oils, and limit hot showers which can worsen dryness.
