What Is Dehydrated Skin?

Dehydrated skin is a common yet often misunderstood condition where the skin lacks water, not oil. Unlike dry skin, dehydration is a temporary condition that can affect anyone—even those with oily or combination skin. Symptoms include dullness, tightness, sensitivity, fine lines, and a rough or flaky texture.
‍
Skin dehydration can be caused by several factors, such as weather changes, over-exfoliation, harsh skincare products, environmental stressors, and even internal factors like diet or hydration levels. Fortunately, treatment is both possible and highly effective when approached with advanced clinical care.
‍
At the Institute of Medical Physics, we offer medically formulated dehydrated skin solutions in London that work deep within the skin barrier, helping your skin retain water, rebuild its structure, and improve its overall texture and glow.

What Can Our Dehydrated Skin Treatments Address?

Our clinical protocols are suitable for:

Dull Dehydrated Skin: Restore lost radiance with rehydration techniques that plump and brighten.
Tight or Uncomfortable Skin: Relieves discomfort with soothing, moisture-binding actives.
Fine Lines from Dehydration: Improve elasticity and reduce dehydration-induced wrinkles.
Flaky or Rough Texture: Smooth the skin's surface with gentle exfoliation and barrier repair.
Skin Dehydration Post-Travel or Exposure: Rapidly rehydrate stressed or environmentally damaged skin.
Sensitive, Stressed Skin: Calm and restore the skin’s natural water-lipid balance without irritation.

Whether your skin feels tight after washing, looks lifeless despite moisturiser, or you’re simply seeking a treatment for dehydrated skin that actually works, we offer precise, medically informed care that delivers long-lasting results.

How Do Our Dehydrated Skin Treatments Work?

Our treatments are based on scientifically backed hydration therapies that combine aesthetic dermatology with cellular-level hydration. Here's how they work:

Hydration Boosting Injections

These include boosters like hyaluronic acid-based injectables (not fillers), which draw water into the skin and keep it locked in.

Mesotherapy for Dehydrated Skin

A customised cocktail of vitamins, peptides, and hydrating actives is micro-injected into the dermis to restore moisture, resilience, and glow.

Medical-Grade Hydrafacial & Aquapeel

Deep-cleanse, exfoliate, and rehydrate the skin using vacuum suction and active serums for immediate brightness.

LED Light Therapy

Reduce inflammation and increase cellular repair, enhancing the results of dehydration skin treatment.

Barrier Repair Therapies

Rebuild the lipid matrix with ceramides, fatty acids, and tailored emollients to prevent future moisture loss.

Our protocols go beyond surface hydration to activate your skin’s natural water-retention mechanisms and replenish essential nutrients lost due to dehydration.

Treatment Overview

At the Institute of Medical Physics, your journey to healthier skin begins with a thorough consultation. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

Your skin will be analysed using advanced imaging tools to assess hydration levels, barrier function, and sensitivities. We consider lifestyle, stress, environmental exposure, and skincare use to personalise your treatment plan.

Step 2: Custom Treatment

Based on your needs, we’ll select from our range of advanced treatments—from hydrating mesotherapy to skin boosters or medical facials.

Step 3: Aftercare & Support

You’ll receive tailored skincare and lifestyle guidance to prolong hydration and prevent future dehydration. Most clients notice immediate improvement in skin texture and comfort.

Step 4: Maintenance Treatments

For lasting results, we recommend regular maintenance every 3-6 months depending on the treatment selected and the severity of your skin concerns.

Most clients see noticeable improvement in just one session, with results building over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dehydrated skin, and how does it differ from dry skin?

Dehydrated skin lacks water, while dry skin lacks oil. Dehydration can affect any skin type, even oily skin, and is often caused by external factors like weather, air conditioning, and harsh skincare products. Unlike dry skin, which is permanent, dehydration is a temporary condition that can be corrected with hydration solutions.

What causes dehydrated skin, and how do I know if my skin is dehydrated?

Dehydrated skin can be caused by factors such as environmental exposure, lack of water intake, excessive cleansing, or using harsh skincare products. If your skin feels tight, looks dull, or shows fine lines, it may be a sign your skin is dehydrated, not just dry. Unlike dry skin, dehydration is a condition that affects different skin types and is reversible with proper skincare and hydration.

How can I tell if my skin is dehydrated or just dry?

Dry skin is a skin type, meaning it lacks oil, while dehydrated skin is a temporary condition where the skin lacks water. If your skin feels tight, looks dull, or has visible fine lines, it’s likely dehydrated. Dehydration can be reversed with hydrating treatments, while dry skin typically requires moisturizing products that restore natural oils.

What are the best treatments for dehydrated skin?

The best solutions for dehydrated skin involve hydrating facials, skin boosters, mesotherapy, and advanced hydration therapies. These solutions replenish the water content in the skin, helping to restore moisture, elasticity, and a healthy glow. At our clinic, we personalise each solution to your skin’s needs for the best results.

How long does it take to treat dehydrated skin?

Depending on the severity of your dehydration, you may see noticeable improvements after just one session. However, for long-lasting results, a series of solutions spaced 2-4 weeks apart is typically recommended. With consistent hydration, your skin will feel refreshed and plump in a matter of weeks.

What skincare products should I use for dehydrated skin?

For dehydrated skin, it’s important to use products that are rich in hydration, such as serums with hyaluronic acid, moisturisers with ceramides, and hydrating masks. Avoid harsh exfoliants and products that strip moisture. Personalised skincare is key to addressing your specific dehydration needs and restoring optimal skin hydration.

How can personalised skincare help with dehydrated skin?

Personalised skincare takes into account your skin’s unique hydration levels, type, and specific concerns. Tailoring your skincare regimen allows you to use the right products for your skin’s needs, whether it’s boosting moisture levels, repairing the skin barrier, or restoring lost hydration. Customised treatments are the most effective way to address dehydrated skin and maintain long-term hydration.
