Dry Skin

Dry skin is an incredibly common condition, but it doesn’t have to be a lasting one. At Integrated Aesthetics, we’ll help you enjoy numerous options that can leave you with healthy, hydrated skin.

Love Your Healthy, Hydrated Skin

Dry skin occurs when your skin loses too much moisture. This loss of moisture (water content) may indicate that the skin’s barrier function is compromised. The skin barrier is composed of skin cells and lipids. Changes in lipid composition and content compromise the skin barrier, allowing water to escape. Dry skin is often exacerbated by environmental factors such as low humidity, hot water, over-cleansing, and not moisturizing. In addition, inflammatory skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis and rosacea, disrupt the skin barrier, allowing increased loss of water from the skin’s surface.

If your skin is dry, it can feel tight, itchy, and uncomfortable, and it may also be flaky and cracked. If skin becomes too dry, it can become inflamed and rashy. When these issues are keeping you from enjoying healthy skin, Dr. Melissa Chiang is here to help. To learn more about how we can help you enjoy healthy skin, reach out to us at our Spring, TX location and set up your consultation today.

Preventing Dry Skin

Lifestyle factors play an important role in helping to maintain/restore the skin barrier and retain moisture. These are Dr. Chiang’s gentle skin care rules for helping dry skin:

Shower once daily
Showers should be short (5 minutes or less)
Use lukewarm water
Use a gentle cleanser on the folds of the skin and any area that is visibly soiled
Towel damp dry
Apply a bland, heavy cream to the entire skin surface

How We’ll Treat Your Dry Skin

If you are following the above rules for prevention and you are still having problems with dry skin, you may need a dermatologic evaluation to determine what “tweaks” to the regimen may be of additional benefit. These tweaks may include medicated OTC and/or prescription topicals.

We understand that each patient is different and that skincare is dependent on both customization and consistency. We’ll work closely with you to develop a skincare regimen that sees you enjoying hydrated skin that looks and feels fantastic.

Our MedSpa team is led by Dr. Melissa Chiang, a board-certified dermatologist with years of experience in the cosmetics industry. She’ll work with you to craft a bespoke treatment plan that utilizes a combination of modalities to create your ideal results.
