Comprehensive Treatment for Xerosis

Xerosis is a condition characterized by abnormally dry skin resulting from decreased moisture retention and impaired skin barrier function. Our dermatologists use advanced diagnostic techniques and evidence-based treatment protocols to restore skin hydration, repair barrier function, and prevent complications associated with severe dryness. Through a personalized approach combining topical therapies, lifestyle modifications, and targeted interventions, we can effectively manage xerosis and restore your skin's health and comfort.


Our treatment strategy is customized to the severity and underlying causes of your xerosis. We begin with intensive moisturizing regimens using specialized emollients and humectants to replenish skin hydration and seal in moisture. For patients with severe or persistent xerosis, we recommend barrier repair products containing ceramides and natural moisturizing factors, along with gentle cleansing practices and environmental modifications to prevent further moisture loss. Most patients experience noticeable improvement in skin hydration and comfort within one to two weeks of starting treatment, with continued improvement in skin texture and appearance as the barrier function strengthens over several weeks.


Xerosis can result from aging, environmental factors, harsh skincare products, underlying medical conditions, or medications that affect skin hydration. Beyond treatment, we emphasize proper skincare habits, humidifier use, hydration, sun protection, and avoidance of irritating products to maintain skin moisture and prevent recurrence. By addressing xerosis comprehensively and supporting your skin's natural barrier function, we help you achieve comfortable, healthy, and resilient skin..
