Dry & Dehydrated Skin: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
at The Axis Clinic in London
What Is Dry & Dehydrated Skin?
Dry and dehydrated skin occurs when the skin lacks sufficient moisture, oils, or both to maintain a healthy barrier. This can make the complexion appear dull, tight, or flaky and increase sensitivity or fine lines.
While dry skin is often a skin type linked to low oil production, dehydrated skin is a temporary condition caused by a lack of water in the deeper layers. Factors such as weather, central heating, harsh skincare, and lifestyle habits can all contribute to this imbalance.
What treatments are available for Dry & Dehydrated Skin at The Axis Clinic?
At The Axis Clinic in North London, we offer a range of advanced treatments designed to deeply hydrate, repair, and strengthen the skin barrier. Our approach focuses on replenishing lost moisture, stimulating collagen and elastin, and improving overall skin health for long-lasting radiance.
Profhilo is one of our most popular options for dehydrated skin, delivering pure hyaluronic acid to boost hydration, elasticity, and firmness from within.
For clients experiencing more advanced dryness or compromised skin, Polynucleotides help repair the skin at a cellular level while improving texture and resilience. Exosome therapy can also be combined to enhance skin regeneration and restore a healthy glow.
For surface hydration and gentle rejuvenation, our HydraFacial treatments deeply cleanse, infuse active ingredients, and lock in moisture, leaving the skin soft, smooth, and refreshed.

HydraFacial
Cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses hydrating serums for smoother, plumper skin.
Wow Fusion

Polynucleotides

Exosomes
Support cellular regeneration and collagen renewal to improve skin density and suppleness.
What Causes Dry & Dehydrated Skin?
Dry and dehydrated skin can develop from both internal and external factors that affect the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Dry skin occurs when the sebaceous glands produce less natural oil, leaving the skin barrier unprotected and more prone to flaking and irritation. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, lacks water within its deeper layers, often caused by environmental exposure, weather changes, central heating, or insufficient hydration.
Lifestyle habits such as over-exfoliation, harsh skincare products, stress, and poor diet can also contribute to dryness and dullness, while ageing naturally reduces hyaluronic acid and collagen levels, further weakening the skin’s ability to hold moisture.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the best treatment for Dry and Dehydrated Skin?
What is the difference between Dry and Dehydrated Skin?
Dry skin is a skin type that lacks natural oils, making it feel rough and sometimes flaky. Dehydrated skin is a temporary condition caused by water loss within the deeper layers, often resulting in dullness, tightness, and fine lines. Both concerns can exist together and are best treated by improving hydration at multiple levels.
When will I see results?
You can expect an immediate boost in hydration and glow after your first HydraFacial or WOW Fusion treatment. Profhilo, Polynucleotides, and Exosomes deliver progressive improvement over the following weeks as collagen and elastin production increases.
Is there any downtime?
Most treatments for dry and dehydrated skin have minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity immediately after your session, which typically resolves within a few hours.
Can Dry or Dehydrated Skin cause premature ageing?
Yes. When the skin barrier is compromised and moisture levels are low, fine lines and dullness become more visible. Restoring hydration and strengthening the skin structure helps prevent premature ageing and keeps the complexion smooth and supple.
Can I combine treatments?
Absolutely. Many clients choose to combine HydraFacial or WOW Fusion for surface hydration with Profhilo, Polynucleotides, or Exosome therapy for deeper, long-term rejuvenation. This combination delivers both instant and lasting results for healthier, luminous skin.
How can I maintain results at home?
Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser, a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid, and a barrier-strengthening moisturiser. Drink plenty of water, avoid over-exfoliating, and apply SPF daily to prevent further dehydration and maintain results.
