Condition Overview
Dehydrated skin
Dehydrated skin is a common condition characterized by a lack of water content in the skin’s surface layers. Unlike dry skin, it can affect all skin types and often results in tightness, dullness, and increased sensitivity. Environmental factors, lifestyle habits, and improper skincare can all contribute to this temporary but concerning condition.
At Dermasurge, we specialise in diagnosing the causes of skin dehydration and restoring optimal hydration levels. Dr Hiba Injibar, a renowned dermatologist, combines her expertise with advanced hydration therapies to help patients achieve a plump, radiant complexion.
Symptoms
- Dehydrated skin lacks water content in the stratum corneum, leading to impaired barrier function.
- It often appears dull, tight, or flaky, with more visible fine lines when stretched.
- Environmental factors like low humidity, harsh weather, and air conditioning are major contributors.
- Skincare habits including over-cleansing or alcohol-based products can strip the skin’s moisture.
- Lifestyle factors like inadequate water intake or excessive caffeine worsen dehydration.
- Severity ranges from mild (temporary tightness) to severe (cracking and irritation).
causes
Dehydrated skin occurs when water loss exceeds replenishment through various mechanisms. Understanding these causes is key to restoring and maintaining hydration balance.
Impaired Moisture Barrier
A compromised skin barrier allows excessive trans-epidermal water loss, leaving skin vulnerable.
Environmental Stressors
Low humidity, wind, and temperature extremes accelerate moisture evaporation from the skin’s surface.
Harsh Products
Overuse of stripping cleansers, exfoliants, or alcohol-based toners disrupts the skin’s natural hydrating mechanisms.
Internal Factors
Inadequate water intake, poor nutrition, and certain medications reduce the skin’s water-holding capacity.
Professional Treatments
Hydration Infusion Therapy delivers intensive moisture boosters deep into the skin using advanced delivery systems.
Barrier Repair Treatments restore the skin’s natural moisture retention capabilities with ceramide-rich formulations.
Customized Facial Hydration combines humectants, emollients, and occlusives tailored to your skin’s specific needs.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!
I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.
Couldn’t Be More Happy
Really positive experience. Beautiful building, small but well maintained and laid out spaces. Friendly, welcoming and very professional reception staff. Efficient registration. The consultation was expert, careful and thorough. Treatment effective. Plus Dr Hiba is a warm and lovely person!
Manuela was incredibly professional, patient and reassuring throughout the whole session. She explained every step clearly and made sure I was comfortable, allowing breaks whenever needed and chatting with me to distract from the more intense parts of the treatment. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was.
The treatment itself was thorough and carefully done — I felt confident I was in very experienced hands. Manuela took her time and made sure every area was treated properly, which gave me a lot of trust in the process.
Dermasurge has a very professional and calm environment, and I’m looking forward to seeing my results over the next few weeks and continuing my treatment plan. Highly recommend Manuela if you’re considering HIFU treatment.
Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.
Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.
The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
