Quick answer · What is Dull Skin?

Dull skin looks tired and flat because dead cells build up, the skin is dehydrated or scattered pigment reflects light unevenly. At RE:BERRY Clinic it is treated with deep-cleansing hydrating facials, low-energy laser toning and, for longer-lasting skin quality, skin boosters such as hyaluronic acid or polynucleotides. Facials and toning take 20–40 minutes with no downtime; boosters may cause small bumps for 1–3 days. Many patients notice a fresher glow after the first visit.

How it works

Restoring the surface, hydration and tone

Healthy skin reflects light evenly. Exfoliating, hydrating facials remove surface build-up, low-energy toning reduces diffuse pigment, and boosters improve hydration and skin quality from within. Combining them addresses the surface and the deeper causes of a tired complexion.

  1. Diagnosis

    Your doctor checks hydration, texture, pigment and barrier health to find out why your skin looks dull.

  2. Tailored treatment

    A HydraFacial, laser toning or skin booster is chosen, or combined in one visit where suitable.

  3. Maintenance

    Glow often shows soon after treatment, and regular sessions or a booster course help keep skin bright.
