Frequently Asked Questions
What is dehydrated skin, and how can I identify it?
Dehydrated skin is skin that lacks water. It can be a temporary condition or a more prolonged concern. Unlike dry skin, which is a skin type, dehydrated skin can affect anyone, even those with oily or combination skin.
It results from various factors, including environmental effects, not drinking enough water, using harsh skincare products, and more. Dehydrated skin can appear flaky, dull, and may feel tight or sensitive.
Dehydrated skin lacks moisture, which can lead to a dull appearance, increased sensitivity, and the accentuation of fine lines. Symptoms include a tight feeling, visible dry patches, and an increase in oil production.
If your skin feels tight, looks dull or tired, and shows accelerated signs of aging like superficial wrinkles or fine lines, it may be dehydrated.
Additionally, if you notice your skin getting oily and dry at the same time, this might indicate that it’s trying to compensate for a lack of moisture by producing more oil.
The “pinch test” is another method: pinch a small amount of skin on your cheek. If it appears to wrinkle a bit and doesn’t bounce back quickly, it could be dehydrated.
What is the difference between dehydrated and dry skin?
Dehydrated Skin:
- Nature: Dehydrated skin is a skin condition characterized by a lack of moisture in the stratum corneum (top layer of the skin).
- Causes: Factors like diet, caffeine consumption, environmental factors, and the use of unsuitable skincare products.
- Symptoms: Feels tight and may have a dull appearance. You may notice more pronounced wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, and even flaking.
- Solution: Increase water intake, go in for monthly professional facials (such as mesotherapy, clinical facials, OxyGeneo, HydraFace Treatment, Beauty Booster Skin Re-Volumizer), use hydrating products, and avoid harsh skincare products.
Dry Skin:
- Nature: Dry skin is a skin type which lacks oil because it produces less sebum than normal skin.
- Causes: Genetics, hormonal changes, and external factors like weather, UV radiation, and certain skincare ingredients.
- Symptoms: Feels rough, scaly, and it may be itchy. There can be patches of redness.
- Solution: Use moisturizers, creams, and oils to help seal in moisture and introduce lipids back into the skin. Go in for monthly professional facials (such as mesotherapy, clinical facials, OxyGeneo, HydraFace Treatment, Beauty Booster Skin Re-Volumizer).
With so many treatment options, how do I know which one is right for me?
Your choice of treatment largely depends on the level of dehydration in your skin and the results you’re aiming for:
The Anti-Aging Clinical Facial (also known as the MAX Treatment) is akin to a traditional facial but is enhanced with pharmaceutical-grade ingredients for deeper nourishment.
Both OxyGeneo and HydraFace treatments employ specialized handpieces, ensuring a tranquil experience.
If you’re leaning towards a treatment with deeper penetration, needle-free mesotherapy provides a distinct yet pleasant sensation.
For those seeking the most profound hydration and transformative results, the Skin Re-Volumizer (Beauty Booster) is your ultimate solution.

How can the Skin Re-Volumizer (Beauty Booster ) help my dehydrated skin?
Our skin Re-Volumizer (Beauty Booster Teosyal Redensity 1) facial treatment uses a device with a small suction system that helps to draw small sections of your facial skin upward.
This creates a precise space for microneedling hyaluronic acid gel to penetrate the skin at the perfect depth for optimal smoothing and plumping. The facial treatment is safely and comfortably applied in small sections to the entirety of your face by an expert skin technician.
A mix of highly concentrated hyaluronic acid and essential nutrients restores skin hydration with spectacular results. Hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge to retain moisture and keep your skin moisturized, plumped and healthy.
Our applicator uses suction to keep your skin tight while we safely and expertly microneedle hyaluronic acid and nutrients with precise depth and accuracy. It’s like a big drink of water for your skin!
What is Needle-Free Mesotherapy, and how can it benefit my dry skin?
Meso Hydrate is a needle-free mesotherapy treatment that deeply quenches your skin’s thirst. It restores the skin’s mineral and ionic balance, crucial for neutralizing free radicals that accelerate skin aging.
Its Meso2Hydra+ serum hydrates from the inside out and treats UV damage.
How does the MAX Treatment (Anti-Aging Clinical Facial) help dehydrated skin?
The Anti-Aging Clinical Facial (previously known as the MAX Face Treatment) is specifically formulated for maximum correction, prevention, and nutrition.
This anti-aging and hydrating facial treatment contains peptides, apple stem cells, and Vitamin C, providing immediate radiance and a youthful glow.
What if I want an OxyGeneo Super Facial for skin dehydration?
Great choice! The OxyGeneo Super Facial Oxy Hydrate, combined with Ultrasound Infusion, is tailored to deeply hydrate and repair the skin barrier function. It utilizes Blue Spirulina to optimize the circulation of moisture throughout the skin, ensuring deep hydration and barrier repair.
How does it work?
The initial stage of the OxyGeneo treatment resembles microdermabrasion, gently exfoliating the upper layer of your skin to eliminate dead cells, promote skin renewal, and create an optimal canvas for nutrient absorption.
OxyGeneo delivers a nourishing blend of active ingredients into your skin using ultrasound infusion. Your skin technician will have picked the active ingredient blend during your pre-facial skin consultation according to your unique skin and needs.
OxyGeneo also triggers the production of CO2 bubbles on your skin’s surface, prompting a physiological response that encourages oxygen-rich blood flow and enhances the absorption of the revitalizing ingredients, ultimately rejuvenating your skin
What is the HydraFace Treatment, and how does it address dehydrated skin?
The HydraFace Treatment, also known as hydradermabrasion, merges the power of exfoliation from microdermabrasion with the deep infusion of serums. This dual action not only exfoliates but also hydrates, leading to improved skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
What skincare products should I use for my dry skin?
We have curated a selection of products to help your skin regain proper hydration and moisture levels from head to toe!
From eye creams, serums, face lotions, masks, body oils and foot skin hydration, you’ll find it all!
We also carry Vivier’s face skincare routine kit for an entire end-to-end routine that is perfect for dry skin.
What can I do (in addition to treatments) to support my dehydrated skin?
In addition to professional treatments, there are daily practices and habits you can adopt to support your dehydrated skin. Here are some steps to consider:
-
Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and skin hydrated from within. Aim for at least 8 glasses a day or more depending on your individual needs.
-
Dietary Changes: Consume a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. Foods like salmon, chia seeds, avocados, nuts, and colorful fruits and vegetables can boost your skin’s natural hydration and barrier function.
-
Gentle Skincare: Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser instead of one that strips your skin of its natural oils. Avoid harsh scrubs and opt for mild exfoliants.
-
Moisturize Regularly: Apply a good quality moisturizer suited for your skin type both in the morning and at night. Look for products containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin which are known for their hydrating properties.
-
Use a Humidifier: If you live in a dry climate or use heaters during colder months, consider using a humidifier to increase the moisture level in the air.
-
Limit Hot Showers: Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water and keep showers short.
-
Sun Protection: Use broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days. UV rays can exacerbate skin dehydration.
-
Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Limit your intake of alcohol and caffeine, as they can act as diuretics, potentially dehydrating your skin.
-
Night-time Care: Consider using a thicker night cream + facial oil before bed to provide your skin with extra nourishment during the night.
-
Limit Exposure to Harsh Elements: Wind, extreme cold or heat, and dry climates can further dehydrate skin. Protect your face with a scarf during cold weather and try to stay in shaded areas during the hottest parts of the day.
-
Skincare Ingredients to Look For: Ingredients like niacinamide, aloe vera, and squalane can also be beneficial for dehydrated skin.
It is essential to understand that dehydration is about the lack of water in the skin, not oil.
While these practices help, supplement them with facial treatments that directly address skin hydration. Regularly consulting with an expert skin care specialist can also provide personalized recommendations based on your unique skin needs.
