Dull skin

A dull skin lacks a fresh glow and can appear tired or lifeless. This is often caused by an accumulation of dead skin cells, insufficient hydration, or the effects of stress, pollution, and sunlight. Fortunately, we offer effective treatments to make your skin radiant again.

What are the options to treat dull skin?

There are various treatments that help brighten and renew dull skin:

Peels: A peel is an effective treatment to refresh and renew dull skin. Peels work by removing the top layer of dead skin cells, resulting in smoother, more radiant skin. There are different types of peels, ranging from mild to intense, each with their own benefits for dull skin.
Hydrafacial: This is an excellent treatment for addressing dull skin and is known for its immediate “glow effect.” This facial treatment combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and nourishing serums, all in one session.
Vivace: This is a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy that works deeper in the skin. Vivace not only stimulates collagen and elastin but also works in the deeper skin layers for firming and lifting, making the skin appear younger and more radiant.

Which treatment is best for me?

Peels and the Hydrafacial are ideal for those seeking a quick skin refresh and dealing with superficial irregularities. While Vivace is suitable for those looking not only for a boost but also firming and lifting. Consult with one of our skin therapists about the best option for you.

The causes of dull skin

The causes of dull skin can vary, but here are several common factors that can lead to dull skin:

  • Accumulation of dead skin cells: The skin constantly renews itself, but when dead skin cells aren’t properly removed, this can result in a dull appearance.
  • Lack of hydration: Dry skin reflects less light and can therefore appear duller. Insufficient water intake and a lack of hydrating products can worsen this.
  • Stress: Stress affects blood circulation and hormone balance, which can lead to a tired appearance and lack of color in the face.
  • Sleep deprivation: Poor sleep reduces cell renewal and can lead to pale, dull skin.
  • Aging: As we age, the skin’s natural repair process slows down. This causes the skin to become thinner, lose its elasticity, and sometimes appear lackluster.
  • Pollution and UV radiation: Exposure to pollution and sunlight causes oxidative stress on the skin, which can lead to skin damage and a matte appearance.
  • Unhealthy lifestyle: Smoking, a diet high in processed foods, and insufficient exercise reduce blood flow to the skin, making it appear less radiant.
  • Incorrect skincare: Not properly cleansing the skin, or using products that don’t match your skin type can cause the skin to appear dull and become unbalanced.
  • Abdomen – Fat on or around the abdominal area, also known as ‘love handles’, can be reduced.
  • Hips and thighs – The treatment helps reduce fat deposits on the sides of the hips or the inner and outer thighs.
  • Back – Excess fat on the back, such as fat rolls along the bra line, can be effectively addressed.
  • Double chin – Cryolipolysis can even be applied to smaller areas, such as removing a double chin.
