We know that periods of dryness or dehydration in the skin are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance or feel of dry or dehydrated skin.

Our clinic can provide consultations about dry or dehydrated skin. During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss cosmetic options that may be appropriate within the clinic’s scope of practice.

Any change in appearance or comfort varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

Dry / Dehydrated Skin

What to expect

Treatment planning may involve clinic-based procedures, home care, or both.

The timing, degree and visibility of any change vary between individuals and cannot be predicted with certainty.

Ongoing skincare and avoidance of known irritants may also be discussed as part of a broader cosmetic plan.

What may be discussed in consultation

For suitable individuals, consultation may address concerns relating to:

  • the appearance of skin dryness

  • the appearance of surface flaking or texture changes

  • the sensation of skin tightness or discomfort

  • the appearance of skin hydration

These concerns are assessed during consultation to determine whether any cosmetic procedures or skincare changes may be appropriate.

How treatment planning works

After reviewing your medical history and assessing the skin, your practitioner may discuss cosmetic options that could be considered.

Examples of options that may be discussed include:

  • hydrating facials and in-clinic treatments used as part of a cosmetic skin care plan

  • LED phototherapy where appropriate

  • exfoliation procedures selected according to skin type and tolerance

  • a home-care routine focused on skincare products chosen for your skin and tolerance

Treatment plans are tailored according to:

  • skin type

  • sensitivity and tolerance

  • lifestyle factors

  • any existing advice from your GP or dermatologist

If there are signs of dermatitis, infection or another medical condition, your practitioner may recommend medical assessment before, or instead of, cosmetic treatment.

In some cases, your practitioner may recommend an alternative approach or no procedure.

All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.

Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:

  • review your medical history, medications and relevant health information

  • discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications

Risks associated with procedures may include:

  • redness or swelling

  • dryness or peeling

  • skin sensitivity or irritation

  • pigmentation changes

  • infection or delayed healing

  • temporary muscle weakness

  • uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes

Pain and comfort levels vary between individuals and depend on the procedure used. Some procedures may cause sensations such as warmth, tingling, tightness, discomfort or pressure during or after treatment.

Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.
