Have a case of dry skin this winter?
You’re not alone: Dry, tight, and flaky skin is one of the biggest skin concerns when the days get colder and the nights arrive earlier. When your skin barrier becomes compromised as a result of low temperatures, central heating, and common colds, it struggles to retain moisture in the way it usually does, leaving a dull look and uncomfortable feeling.
Dry skin isn’t just a symptom of the winter blues, it can occur all year round. That’s why here at Bank MediSpa, we offer a wide range of treatments targeting dryness, restoring the skin and reviving natural glow. But first, we need to understand what causes it.
Dry skin occurs when it lacks sufficient water or natural oils (lipids) to stay soft, supple and protected. This can happen due to:
When the skin barrier becomes impaired, moisture escapes easier than normal, leading to tightness, texture, flaking, itchiness, and overall dullness. While it ranges from mild to severe, topical skincare can help, but to deeply restore hydration and skin health, clinic-grade treatments are needed.
Once you realise you have dry skin, what steps can you take to combat it? Below are Bank MediSpa’s top six treatments designed to hydrate, nourish and rejuvenate dry or dehydrated skin from the inside out.
This two in one facial is a popular one for a reason. Using a multi-step process, a Hydrafacial™ cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses the skin with hydrating, antioxidant-rich serums.
The signature vortex removes dead skin cells and congestion while simultaneously bathing the skin in moisture-boosting ingredients like hyaluronic acid.
Skinvive delivers hyaluronic acid via micro-droplet injections to hydrate beneath the skin. It improves elasticity, smooths fine lines, and enhances glow. Unlike fillers, it restores softness and suppleness over the long term without adding volume.
Profhilo injects high-concentration hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin. It improves firmness, elasticity, and barrier function, leaving skin plump, soft, and radiant. Perfect for dry skin with ageing or structural concerns.
IllumiFacial® combines a gentle peel and IPL to exfoliate, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin. It smooths rough texture, improves hydration retention, and reduces redness, making it ideal for dry skin with dullness, uneven tone, or pigmentation.
Dermalux uses therapeutic LED wavelengths to heal, calm, and repair the skin. While it doesn’t directly hydrate, it strengthens the skin barrier, improving moisture retention and enhancing recovery. This gentle treatment is ideal as a soothing boost for dry or sensitive skin.
