Why Does Skin Look Dull or Dehydrated?
When your skin doesn’t get enough water or loses its natural moisture barrier, it begins to look flat, tired, or flaky. Dehydrated skin is a temporary condition, often caused by:
Dullness can also result from dead cells building up on the surface, blocking light reflection and hiding healthy skin beneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast will I see results?
Most guests leave their first HydraFacial or peel feeling softer and smoother immediately. Deeper brightness builds with monthly care.
Can oily skin still be dehydrated?
Yes. Dehydration refers to lack of water, not oil. Even oily skin can be flaky, tight, or dull when dehydrated.
Do these treatments hurt?
No. Treatments are gentle and relaxing. Peels may create a slight tingle. Moxi™ uses numbing cream and feels warm, not painful.
Will my skin peel or flake?
Only with certain peels or Moxi™—and only lightly. We guide you through gentle aftercare to keep skin comfortable and glowing.
How much do treatments cost?
HydraFacial® starts at $199. Packages with dermaplaning and peels are available. Moxi™ begins at $399. Your plan is tailored to your skin’s needs.
How do I maintain the glow?
Use a gentle cleanser, hyaluronic acid serum, barrier cream, and SPF daily. Avoid over-exfoliating. Monthly facials keep your glow going strong.
