Dry Skin
Condition Overview
Dry skin can be uncomfortable, causing flakiness, tightness, irritation, and a dull complexion. This condition occurs when the skin lacks moisture and essential lipids, leading to a weakened barrier that makes it more susceptible to environmental damage. Dry skin can result from genetics, aging, seasonal changes, underlying skin conditions, or the use of harsh skincare products.
At The Face Institute, we offer advanced hydration and skin barrier repair treatments to restore moisture, improve elasticity, and enhance overall skin health. Our customized approach includes medical-grade facials, laser therapy, and deep hydration treatments to replenish the skin from within.
Understanding Dry Skin
The skin barrier is responsible for maintaining hydration and protecting against environmental stressors. When it becomes compromised, moisture loss increases, leading to visible dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. Common causes of dry skin include:
- Aging, which reduces natural oil production and weakens the skin barrier
- Cold weather and low humidity, which strip moisture from the skin
- Overuse of harsh cleansers or exfoliating products
- Medical conditions such as eczema or psoriasis
- Dehydration, which affects the skin’s ability to retain moisture
Dry skin is not only an aesthetic concern but can also lead to discomfort, itching, and an increased risk of premature aging. Proper hydration and barrier repair are essential for maintaining smooth, healthy skin.

Scientific Credentials and Studies on Dry Skin Treatment
A 2022 study in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology confirmed that exosome therapy significantly improves skin hydration levels and strengthens the skin barrier, making it an effective treatment for chronic dryness.
A 2023 clinical trial in the International Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that laser resurfacing, when combined with hyaluronic acid-based treatments, enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture and reduces the appearance of dryness-related fine lines.
