With age, many men and women face the problem of having dry and/or a dehydrated skin.

Dry Skin
Dry skin is classified as a skin type and is inherited through your genetics or caused by hormonal imbalances or underactive thyroids. A dry skin type is one that is predisposed to inadequate production of the skin’s natural oils, contributing to a complexion that is dry and lackluster in appearance. While your dry skin type can’t be changed, you can improve its appearance by adding oil-infused products to your skincare routine.

Dehydrated Skin

Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is a skin condition, characterized by a lack of water – not oil. It is caused by external elements (weather and seasonal changes), unhealthy diet (lack of fresh produce) and lifestyle choices (alcohol or caffeine consumption). All of these factors disrupt the skin lipid barrier and cause water loss. When our skin is dehydrated, the oil glands on the skin tend to release more oil and cause the skin to be prone to breakouts.

What are the symptoms?

Both dry and dehydrated skin can experience the following symptoms:

• Feel rough
• Feel tight
• Feel Itchy
• Appear Dull
• Can be flaky
• Show fine lines
• Show accelerated signs of ageing, like sagging skin and deep wrinkles

What can be done?

To deeply hydrate and plump up the skin, and restore youthfulness, hyaluronic acids can be injected into the dermis layer of the skin via micro injections, known as Skin Boosters treatments.

To boost the skin’s own ability to reproduce hyaluronic acids and retain water, Rejuran Healer can be used to repair the skin’s lipid barrier but also increase collagen re-growth for improved elasticity and plumpness.

The main role of hyaluronic acid is to hold on to moisture and support collagen production. Profhilo contains one of the highest concentration, 64mg of hyaluronic acid currently available in the market, stimulating the production of elastin and collagen, re-modeling the skin tissue and giving it a supple and firmer appearance with an irresistible glow from within.
