Dry Skin

Dry Skin: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment Optionson

Dry skin is a common condition caused by a lack of natural oils, leading to rough texture, flaking, tightness, and increased sensitivity. It can be influenced by environmental factors, ageing, and underlying skin conditions. At Dermasurge, we provide expert assessment and tailored treatments to restore moisture, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve overall skin health for long-term comfort and resilience.

Overview

What causes dry skin?

Many patients suffer from dry skin on the face or body, and this becomes more frequent as we get older. Whilst many find some degree of success in treating dry skin with their daily beauty routine, in a lot of cases, readily available skincare products just aren’t equipped to provide enough hydration the skin needs. Dry skin requires a higher level of care and is often deprived of essential collagen and elastin proteins- the naturally occurring substances in the body that help repair damage to the skin.

How to Treat Dry Skin

Managing dry skin involves restoring moisture and protecting the skin barrier. This includes using gentle cleansers, applying hydrating and nourishing skincare products, and avoiding triggers that worsen dryness. Professional treatments can also help to deeply hydrate the skin and improve its ability to retain moisture. At Dermasurge, we create personalised treatment plans designed to relieve dryness, improve skin texture, and maintain long-term skin health.

Dry Skin vs Dehydrated Skin: What’s the Difference?

Dry skin and dehydrated skin are often confused, but they are not the same. Dry skin is a skin type caused by a lack of natural oils (lipids), while dehydrated skin is a temporary condition caused by a lack of water in the skin. This means even oily skin types can experience dehydration. Understanding the difference is important, as each requires a different approach—dry skin needs nourishing, oil-rich products, whereas dehydrated skin benefits from hydrating ingredients that attract and retain moisture.

Dr kept me at ease throughout the procedure and made sure I was doing well at all times. I was able to recover without any trouble in the timescale I was given and the result was clear to see. Would highly recommend Dr Hiba Injibar.

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%.

I walked into Dermasurge Clinic hoping to improve my skin, but I left with so much more than that.
For years, I had lost confidence in my appearance and found myself avoiding mirrors and photographs. From the moment I arrived, Dr. Hiba and her team treated me with kindness, patience, and genuine care. They listened to my concerns and created a treatment plan that felt completely tailored to me.
I underwent HIFU for face and neck tightening with Manuella, who made the entire experience smooth and comfortable. She explained every step before starting and kept a warm, friendly conversation throughout the procedure, making the time pass so quickly and easing any anxiety I had.
Dr. Hiba performed Botox for my full face and neck, lip augmentation, and laser rejuvenation. There simply aren't enough words to describe her professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. What stands out most is how much she genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every aspect of her work. Remarkably, the procedures were almost painless.
Today, when I look in the mirror, I don't just see healthier, more radiant skin—I see a more confident version of myself. The physical transformation has been incredible, but what touched me most was how supported, understood, and cared for I felt throughout the entire journey.
This facial makeover didn't just change my face; it restored a part of my confidence that I thought was gone forever.
To Dr. Hiba, Manuella, and every member of the Dermasurge team: thank you for your professionalism, expertise, compassion, and dedication. You have made a profound difference in my life, and I will always be grateful. This has truly been one of the best investments I have ever made in myself. ❤️✨
★★★★★ Highly recommended.

I was very nervous and somewhat apprehensive, but I cannot recommend DermaSurge highly enough. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome, comfortable and completely at ease. The clinic is beautiful, professional and immaculate, and every member of staff was friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely caring.
My consultation with Dr Hiba was thorough and informative, with plenty of time taken to explain the treatment options and answer all of my questions. I never felt rushed or pressured, and the advice I received was honest and tailored to my individual needs.
The treatment itself was carried out by Dr Hiba with exceptional care and professionalism, and I am delighted with the results. The team clearly take great pride in their work and patient experience, and it shows in every aspect of the service they provide.
A fantastic clinic with outstanding customer care, expertise and attention to detail. I would not hesitate to return for future treatments and happily recommend DermaSurge to anyone considering aesthetic or skin treatments.
Thank you to the whole team for such a wonderful experience. ❤️

I had my first Ultraformer HIFU treatment at Dermasurge today with Manuela and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

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.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

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.
