Dull, dehydrated skin
Dull, dehydrated skin looks flat, feels tight and does not hold makeup well. It is usually a water and barrier problem rather than an oil one. On Glasgow's Southside we treat it with HydrO2 facials, Fire and Ice by IS Clinical, Jalupro Super Hydro and microneedling with hyaluronic acid.
Book an appointment →Who comes in with this
People whose skin has gone flat after winter, travel or a stretch of poor sleep. People with an event coming up who want skin that looks fresh. People whose routine stopped working and who want to know what to change as well as what to have done.
Choosing between them
HydrO2 facials cleanse, hydrate and leave skin looking brighter, with an express version and a longer version with extractions and light therapy. Fire and Ice is a resurfacing facial. Jalupro Super Hydro and microneedling with hyaluronic acid work deeper on hydration and skin quality over a course.
What happens after
We tell you what to use at home, because a facial alone will not hold a dehydrated barrier. Aftercare is written down and we check in to see how your skin has held the result before planning anything further.

Questions
Which facial is best before an event?
We usually look at how much time you have. Express HydrO2 is the shortest option, the full HydrO2 with extractions and light therapy takes longer, and Fire and Ice resurfaces. We will match the choice to your date and your skin.
Is dehydrated skin the same as dry skin?
No. Dry skin lacks oil, dehydrated skin lacks water, and oily skin can be dehydrated too. We assess which one you have at your appointment, because the treatment and the home care differ.
How often should I have a facial?
That depends on your skin and what we are treating. Some people come before events, others follow a regular course. We give you honest timescales rather than a fixed rule.
