H₂O & Laser Treatments: Why Hydration Boosts Your Results

When it comes to glowing, healthy skin, water isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. At Fully Faced Up we talk a lot about hydration because it can directly impact how your skin responds to treatment and how quickly you see results.

Hydration and the Skin Barrier

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it’s made up of about 60% water. Proper hydration helps:

• Support the skin barrier

• Maintain elasticity

• Reduce dryness and flakiness

• Keep inflammation at bay

When your skin is well-hydrated, it responds better to laser treatments and recovers more efficiently.

How H₂O Improves Laser Results

Whether you’re booking a laser facial, hair removal, or resurfacing treatment, hydration plays a role in every stage:

✅ Before Treatment

Hydrated skin absorbs energy more evenly, which can lead to better precision and more comfortable sessions.

✅ During Treatment

Water within the skin helps regulate heat. Clients who stay hydrated often experience less redness and irritation.

✅ After Treatment

Proper hydration supports cell repair, collagen production, and wound healing—crucial for smooth, glowing results.

Signs You May Be Dehydrated

Not sure if your skin needs a boost? Look for:

• Tightness or dullness

• Rough texture

• Fine lines appearing more pronounced

• Flaky or itchy patches

• Chapped lips

These are common signs your body—and skin—are craving water.

How Much Water Should You Drink?

Everyone is different, but a good baseline is:

• 2–3 litres of water per day

• More if you’re active, consume caffeine, or live in a dry climate

Herbal teas, electrolytes, fruits, and water-rich veggies can help too.

Top Tips for Staying Hydrated Before and After Laser Treatments

• Start 24–48 hours before your appointment

  
  

  Drink water consistently, not all at once.

• Avoid dehydrating agents

  
  

  Alcohol, caffeine, and high-sodium foods can slow healing.

• Moisturize from the outside-in

  
  

  Use hyaluronic acid or a lightweight moisturizer to help your skin retain water.

• Post-treatment care

  
  

  Continue hydrating to support collagen renewal and reduce downtime.

Hydration = Better Results

Think of H₂O as part of your treatment plan. When your skin is hydrated, lasers can do their job more effectively, and your recovery is smoother. It’s a simple step that maximizes your investment in your skin.
