Is your skin care routine is not working in the way it used to? You are exfoliating and moisturising religiously but your skin still appears tired, dull and uneven?
The number one concern that we hear from our patients is that they feel that their skin looks dull and dehydrated. This is one of the most common skin concerns that we see the patients at Nuovo Clinic post winter. Our skin can look dry and dull at any time of the year for a number of different internal and external reasons. These include environmental and internal changes due to the season, as well as the effects of external factors and our lifestyle.
Why Skin Becomes Dull and Dehydrated
Skin can become dull due to many different reasons, and it is rarely due to only the skin surface. For changes in the deeper skin layers it is usually necessary to make some adjustment in order to get a smoother, more radiant looking complexion.
During the winter months there are a number of factors which can affect the skin. Cold weather causes blood vessels to constrict thereby reducing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin, which impairs the skin’s ability to regenerate and repair itself. In parallel to this, the dry air from central heating systems also dries the skin surface, further impairing the skin’s barrier function.
Signs Your Skin May Need Professional Rejuvenation
Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Healthy looking skin not only gives you a more attractive appearance, but it is also full of advantages for your health. At our skin rejuvenation clinic, we have the professional knowledge and the equipment to give you the best possible tailored solutions for your needs.
The other sign of dehydrating skin is tightness to the skin even after moisturising. The other is oily flaky skin. Your skin will go oily to try and hydrate the flaky skin.
Why Skincare Alone May Not Be Enough
We highly recommend skin rejuvenation treatments to enhance skin hydration in the dermis, stimulate collagen for a more even texture, encourage cell turnover and reduce inflammation and redness. The benefits of these treatments are truly long-lasting and can greatly enhance the evenness and glow of your skin.
Professional Dull Skin Treatments in Essex
Every individual’s skin journey is unique and at Nuovo Clinic we start with a consultation to undertake a full skin analysis. We assess hydration levels, elasticity, pigmentation and the overall condition of your skin and determine the best possible treatment options for you. Our goal is always to look natural.
Skin Boosters for Dehydrated Skin
Skin boosters are typically used for the patient who feels that their main problem with their skin is that it looks dry or tired.
Dermal fillers are treatments which contain hyaluronic acid and involve the injection of hyaluronic acid beneath the skin surface to hydrate the skin from the inside out. Hydrating the skin helps to restore elasticity in the skin and to diminish fine lines.
If you are worried about premature signs of aging, skin dehydration, dull skin or lacklustre skin, a skin booster is what you need. The effects of the treatment will develop over time and your skin will become softer and brighter.
Microneedling for Uneven Skin Tone and Texture
Microneedling is a further treatment we offer that will help to rejuvenate the skin and give a more youthful appearance. It is excellent for improving dull and uneven skin texture.
Collagen induction therapy also referred to as micro-needling is a relatively new technology using miniscule micro needles which induce a healing response in the skin to stimulate collagen and stimulate your body’s natural rejuvenation processes. Improved skin texture, even skin tone, light skin marks and spots as well as a brighter, healthier-looking skin can be achieved.
If you want your skin care products to continue to have an effect on your skin long term, rather than just having a radiant glow in the short term, we would always recommend combining them with a course of microneedling. The effects of using medical grade skin care products can be lost very quickly if the skin is not functioning well and is not able to penetrate and utilise the active ingredients.
When to Consider a Skin Consultation
If your skin is looking lacklustre despite your regular skincare routine and you are finding that your moisturiser is no longer providing the hydration your skin needs, then we would love to see you.
At Nuovo Clinic, every consultation is centred around the principle of education, to ensure that you have a clear understanding of what can be achieved and to always prioritise long term skin health, in order to assist you in achieving the well balanced, hydrated, healthy and natural looking skin that you deserve.
