Our experience with treating dehydrated skin

Dehydrated skin is largely affected by external factors, such as the environment or smoking habits over time. If left unaddressed, you may experience a decline in skin health leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Not only can this result in skin sensitivity, such as itchiness and redness, but it may affect how well you are able to wear make-up or participate in other selfcare services.

Sharing his techniques with other Doctors and Nurses, Dr. Scott Allison attends domestic and international conferences, passionate about achieving exceptional results. Our team at Ascension are trained by Dr. Allison, using patient-tailored techniques to maintain a high level of care.

“Rehydrating treatments are some of the most under-utilised tools for maintaining healthy skin, and preventing the early onset of fine lines and wrinkles. A personalised treatment plan can support skin quality and hydration for your skin profile” – Dr. Scott Allison.

Areas of concern /

Multiple factors can contribute to dehydrated skin, and it is crucial for your practitioner to thoroughly evaluate the underlying cause to determine the most suitable treatment for you. During your consultation, we work with you to understand your skin type and unique aesthetic needs and goals. A personalised treatment plan will then be developed to address hydration concerns.

Dullness

Rehydrating treatments may help with skin quality and the appearance of brightness.

Fine Lines

Dehydrated skin can accentuate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around more delicate areas such as the eyes and lips. Supporting skin hydration may help with the appearance of these lines.

Flakiness

A lack of hydration can lead the skin to peel or flake on the superficial layer. Rehydration treatments work to counteract and prevent these types of events by ensuring the dermis is adequately hydrated.

Redness and Irritation

When the skin is dehydrated it can become more sensitive to external factors, such as the weather and certain skin care products. Hydration contributes to skin resilience and lessens the chances of irritation.

Tightness

Skin lacking in moisture may feel tight, especially after cleansing. Hydrating treatments encourage a suppleness, enabling the face to feel more comfortable.

Your consultation at our Brisbane clinic

During your initial consultation, various aspects will be discussed to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the procedure and your specific needs. The consultation allows us to discuss expectations openly and create a treatment plan you can approve.

Firstly, your cosmetic concerns and treatment goals will be discussed. We will listen attentively to gain insight into what you hope to achieve through treating dehydrated skin concerns. This discussion allows us to explain what can be realistically achieved.

Next, we will thoroughly examine your skin health, asking about the areas experiencing noticeable changes. We will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, taking note of bone structure, fat pads and skin laxity. This assessment helps us to determine the appropriate treatment plan required. We may also inquire about any allergies or previous cosmetic treatments. This information is crucial for determining your eligibility for the procedure.

The consultation will also involve a discussion about the procedure itself, including the type of product that will be used, the expected duration of the results, and any potential risks or side effects. We can explain the technique involved, ensuring you understand the process and know what to expect during and after the treatment.

Finally, the financial aspect will be discussed. We will provide information about the cost of the treatment, any potential additional expenses, and the expected longevity of the results. We can also discuss the option of follow-up treatments and maintenance. Your treatment costs will depend on the personalised details of your procedure, so it is best to wait until having your consultation before making calculations.

Clinical PathwaysAnd Recommendations

Recommended treatments

At Ascension, we provide comprehensive cosmetic consultations, where your comfort, aesthetic preferences, facial anatomy and skin health are all considered to provide a treatment plan tailored to your needs. You may benefit from a combination approach utilising different treatment methods and a number of sessions, which we will discuss during your consultation.

HydraFacial

Monthly HydraFacials are an essential form of maintenance for skin health. This deeply clarifying treatment consists of exfoliation, extractions if needed and a personalised hydrating infusion that can be tailored to your specific skin concern.

We offer three different HydraFacials depending on your goals. Patients can expect to see results immediately, with growing improvements over subsequent treatments, all without any downtime.

Rejuran

Rejuran is a bio-regenerative treatment that uses polynucleotides (PN) to support collagen-producing cells. It may help with skin hydration and the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pores and skin texture. Recovery is usually short, with effects such as redness or small bumps that may last one to two days. Results develop gradually over the following months and vary between individuals.

HydraFacial + Ultra-Infusion

For dehydrated skin, this facial combines the deep-cleansing and exfoliating power of HydraFacial with the benefits of the Ultraformer MPT Booster Infusion and Healite LED light therapy to support skin tone, hydration, and firmness.

The treatment features an added serum, delivered deep into the dermis using the Ultra-Booster handpiece. Infused with PDRN (Salmon DNA) — a skin-repairing ingredient, and 39 active ingredients, including 7 forms of hyaluronic acid, 10 peptides, and 17 amino acids. This facial delivers targeted nourishment to support skin hydration.

Ascension x Augustinus Bader The Method

Ascensión x Augustinus Bader The Method Facial is a luxurious treatment designed to deeply rehydrate the skin and strengthen its resilience. Combining advanced fascia massage, cellular-activating sheet masks, and science-backed formulas, this ritual supports the skin barrier and promotes lasting hydration. Developed by Augustinus Bader, it delivers an indulgent, restorative experience to support skin hydration and comfort.

Skin Needling

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that may help with the appearance of dehydrated skin. This dual approach combines advanced skin therapy to replenish hydration, improve texture and combat the signs of ageing. Skin needling creates micro-channels, encouraging the natural production of collagen and elastin while enhancing the skin’s ability to absorb hydration.
