Understanding Dehydrated Skin

Dehydrated skin is a concern for many patients who feel their appearance doesn’t reflect how they feel.

• Non-surgical treatments such as Exomide, hydrating chemical peels, and PRP therapy may help to boost hydration.
• Treatments target factors like impaired skin barrier function, environmental stressors, and age-related declines in natural hydration.
• Customised treatment plans are developed during consultation, with tailored aftercare recommendations to maintain healthier skin.

Skin appearance is often linked to impaired skin barrier function, environmental stressors, reduced collagen production, or age and lifestyle factors.

At Levant Cosmetic Surgery, we offer non-surgical treatment options to help support healthier-looking skin using evidence-based approaches.

What Causes the Skin to Appear Dehydrated?

Common contributors to dehydrated skin include loss of moisture, sun exposure, age-related decline, and lifestyle factors such as stress and insufficient sleep.

• Loss of moisture in the outer skin layers
• Sun exposure or harsh weather conditions
• Inadequate skin barrier protection
• Age-related decline in natural hydration factors
• Stress, lack of sleep, or environmental pollutants

Non-Surgical Treatments

Exomide

Exomide delivers exosome-rich topical solutions to the skin, which may help improve hydration and cellular function. It is often combined with microchanneling or needling for enhanced effect.

Chemical Peels (Hydrating or Enzyme-Based)

Certain chemical peels are designed to gently exfoliate and infuse the skin with hydrating agents. These peels are selected based on skin type and sensitivity.

PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to support cell turnover, hydration, and collagen synthesis. It may help improve the appearance of skin by promoting gradual skin renewal.

What to Expect from Treatment

These treatments are typically well tolerated with little to no downtime. A personalised treatment plan may include:

• Recommendations for frequency and maintenance
• Topical skincare support between visits
• Sun protection guidance to preserve results

Most patients begin to notice improvements in skin hydration within weeks.

Supporting Results At Home

For long-term results, your practitioner may also recommend:

• Barrier-supportive moisturisers and serums
• Antioxidant skincare
• Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen
• Reducing exposure to dry air or heating
