It’s no secret that hydration is a critical part of skin care. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining skin health, elasticity and radiance, but it can be difficult to hydrate adequately through daily moisturising and water intake alone.
Professional skin hydration treatments are a complementary way to nourish your skin, specially designed to deliver deep hydration for the face, neck, décolletage and hands. This means increasing hydration levels within the skin to deliver increased moisturisation and cosmetic improvements on the skin’s surface.
A Note From Dr Aleks
As a passionate advocate for skin health, I frequently emphasise to my clients the importance of hydration.
Dehydrated skin often presents itself visibly – it might appear dull, lack a glow and show fine lines more prominently. Many clients report a feeling of tightness or discomfort, a clear indication that their skin is craving hydration.
On a deeper level, dehydration weakens the skin’s barrier function. A robust barrier is essential for protecting your skin against environmental aggressors, pollutants and irritants. When this barrier is compromised, your skin becomes more susceptible to damage and the visible effects of ageing.
The solution lies in restoring hydration, not just on the surface but deep within the skin.
What Causes Skin Dehydration?
A variety of factors may contribute to skin dehydration, including:
- Environmental factors such as climate and weather, indoor heating and cooling systems, and pollution
- Lifestyle choices such as water intake, diet, smoking and alcohol consumption
- Skincare practices such as over cleansing, using harsh products or inadequate moisturising
- Age-related changes such as reduced production of hyaluronic acid and diminished ability to retain moisture
Because skin dehydration is a multifaceted issue, our approach is to create a comprehensive plan blending professional treatments, suitable skincare products and lifestyle adjustments.

The OLA Experience
Consultation
We offer a range of hydration loss treatments at OLA Aesthetics and will select an appropriate option for your skin based on the assessments conducted during your consultation. We’ll walk you through the proposed treatment plan, explaining the process, benefits, limitations and how it fits into your overall skincare routine.
Preparation
Inform us about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some products may need to be paused or adjusted in preparation for your treatment. Maintain your skincare routine but avoid using harsh exfoliants or irritating products a few days before your appointment to ensure your skin is calm and receptive.
Treatment
On the day of your appointment, we recommend coming with a clean face, free of makeup, sunscreen and skincare products. Depending on the area being treated, expect the procedure to take up to 40 minutes. Downtime following the treatment is minimal, and many clients can return straight to work.
Could a Hydration Loss Treatment Be Right for Me?
If you experience dryness, dullness or signs of ageing such as fine lines and irregular texture, a skin hydration treatment could be beneficial. These treatments are designed to provide deep hydration that supports skin health and enhances your skin’s natural radiance.
Possible treatment areas include:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
Candidates for hydration loss treatments generally have good overall skin health. If you have certain skin conditions or sensitivities, it's important to discuss these during your consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.

The number of treatments required depends on the individual's skin concerns and goals.
