Dehydrated Skin

When our skin is deeply hydrated, it appears smooth, plump and glowy. Dry, dehydrated skin can often be a sign of an impaired skin barrier that isn’t retaining enough hydration in the skin.

why hydration is important with laser

While dry, dehydrated skin often occurs in winter – it can also occur as a result of hot showers, use of harsh soaps and certain medical conditions.

Skin Galaxy Laser  offers a range of advanced facials that hydrate the skin and restore skin barrier health. For longer term results, Hydralase, Hydrafacial, Oxygen Facial, mesoject and skin boosters provide deep nourishment and hydration to the skin, providing your skin with the essential skin nutrients it needs to thrive.

Why Hydrated Skin is Key for Optimal Laser Results with Erbium YAG Treatments

When the skin is properly hydrated, it responds more effectively to laser treatments. The erbium YAG laser is designed to precisely target water molecules in the skin, making hydration a critical factor for achieving the best results. Here’s why:

  1. Enhanced Energy Absorption:
    The erbium YAG laser interacts with water in the skin to ablate and resurface tissue. Well-hydrated skin contains a higher concentration of water, allowing the laser energy to be absorbed more efficiently. This results in more precise and effective treatment, as the laser targets the layers of the skin that need rejuvenation without causing unnecessary damage to surrounding tissues.

  2. Smoother Ablation Process:
    In dehydrated skin, the reduced water content can lead to uneven energy absorption. This may make the treatment less predictable and could increase the risk of irritation or uneven results. Hydrated skin ensures a smoother ablation process, enhancing the safety and efficacy of the treatment.

  3. Better Healing and Recovery:
    Hydrated skin heals faster and more effectively after laser treatments. Moisturized skin is more resilient and less prone to excessive redness or irritation, helping the skin recover beautifully. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, may take longer to heal and could compromise the final outcome.

  4. Improved Comfort During Treatment:
    Properly hydrated skin is less sensitive to laser treatments, which can make the experience more comfortable for the client. This added comfort encourages a more positive overall experience.


How to Prepare Your Skin for Laser Treatments

  • Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment.

  • Use a high-quality, hydrating moisturizer recommended by your skincare professional.

  • Avoid activities or products that may dehydrate your skin, such as excessive caffeine, alcohol, or drying skincare products (e.g., harsh cleansers or acids).

The Bottom Line: For the best possible results with erbium YAG laser treatments, Hydralase is highly recommended to do before starting ablative. this is an instant hydration treatment.

Maintaining hydrated skin is essential. Hydration helps the laser perform at its full potential, delivering smooth, glowing, and rejuvenated skin that you’ll love.
