Dry Skin

Dry skin is a common problem for many people. Our skin needs moisture to stay smooth and hydrated, and retaining moisture becomes more difficult as we age. Our skin also loses more moisture in certain climates and seasons.  

Causes of Dry Skin

Skin gets dry when it loses too much water or oil and typically becomes dryer as we age, in the winter and in low-humidity climates. Dry skin can also trigger other skin issues such as:  

  • Dermatitis, which causes inflammation of the skin accompanied with dryness, itchiness or rash.  
  • Keratosis pilaris, which causes small, flesh-colored or red bumps that make skin rough. Also known as “chicken skin,” this usually occurs from overly dry skin.  

Cosmetic Treatments for Dry Skin

Our team provides several cosmetic options for improving dry skin. Based on your skin and individual needs, we will determine which treatment is best for you and create a personalized plan. 

See below to learn more about our treatment options for dry skin:  

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a physical form of exfoliation that sloughs off dead skin cells on the surface and as an added bonus also removes most of the surface “peach fuzz.” Dermaplaning can be performed alone or in combination with other aesthetic services such as DermaPeel, chemical peels and HydraFacial.

Medical Grade Facials

This treatment is designed to treat your unique skincare concerns including customizations for teens and expectant mothers. Medical Grade Facials are comprised of a cleanse and steam and one, two or three exfoliations. Extractions, CO2 and high frequency are performed if needed. The treatment is completed with a mask and relaxing massage of physician-strength cosmeceuticals.

HydraFacial

Using exfoliants, water jets and vacuum-like suction to open pores, HydraFacial provides deep cleansing while extracting impurities and dead skin cells. Only HydraFacial devices use Vortex Fusion technology to refresh any skin type gently and thoroughly. The treatment works by:

  • Deeply cleansing and exfoliating with a gentle peel to uncover a new layer of skin.
  • Extracting impurities from pores with painless gentle suction.
  • Saturating the skin’s surface with intense moisturizers and nourishing, personalized ingredients.

It is particularly helpful for those with clogged pores, but also creates a healthy glow for those with dry skin, fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and pigmentation.
