Who is this treatment suitable for?

This service is ideal for individuals experiencing redness, dryness, stinging sensations, sensitivity to skincare products, or a weakened skin barrier due to stress, over-exfoliation, or environmental exposure.

Reactive skin

Skin that flushes, tingles, or becomes irritated easily.

Dry & tight skin

Skin that feels uncomfortable or rough after cleansing.

Over-treated skin

Skin affected by excessive exfoliation or harsh products.

How does Barrier Repair Care work?

Your skin barrier acts as a protective shield that locks in moisture and keeps irritants out. When weakened, it can lead to redness, dryness, and sensitivity. Our treatment focuses on restoring hydration levels, reinforcing the barrier, and calming inflammation using carefully selected, skin-friendly formulations.

Step-by-step approach

Skin assessment: Identify triggers and sensitivity level.
Gentle cleansing: Remove impurities without stripping moisture.
Barrier-repair infusion: Restore hydration and strengthen protection.
Soothing finish: Lock in moisture and calm visible redness.

Note: Consistency and proper home care are important for long-term skin barrier recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

A compromised skin barrier often shows up as redness, tightness, flaking, stinging/burning, sudden sensitivity to products you used to tolerate, and skin that feels dry yet easily irritated. If your face reacts quickly to weather, masks, fragrance, acids, or hot water, it may be a sign your barrier needs repair. At Medcyto, we confirm this with a skin assessment and adjust the treatment intensity to your tolerance.

Many clients feel calmer, less tight, and more hydrated after the first session. For a weakened barrier, we usually recommend a short recovery plan such as 3–6 sessions, spaced about 1–2 weeks apart, depending on redness level, dryness, and reactivity. After your skin stabilises, maintenance may be done monthly or when flare-ups occur. We’ll advise the safest frequency after your consultation.

In most cases, we recommend repairing and stabilising the skin barrier first before adding stronger treatments like chemical peels, retinoids, or device-based procedures. Once your barrier is healthy, you can usually reintroduce actives gradually. If you’re currently using AHA/BHA/retinol, we may suggest a temporary pause and a gentle routine (hydration + barrier support) to reduce irritation and improve results. Our therapist will guide you based on your skin condition and goals.

For best comfort and faster recovery, avoid scrubs, hot water, steam, strong acids (AHA/BHA), retinol, alcohol-heavy toners, and fragranced products for a few days before/after treatment (or as advised). Keep your routine simple: gentle cleanser, moisturiser, and sunscreen. If your skin is very reactive, we’ll recommend a customised home-care plan to maintain barrier strength between sessions.

Sensitive Skin & Barrier Repair Care is designed to be gentle and supportive, and it may be suitable for redness-prone or reactive skin types. However, conditions like rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, or known allergies vary from person to person. We begin with a consultation to understand triggers, current medications, and tolerance, then tailor product selection and technique. If your skin is currently inflamed or medically treated, we may suggest the safest timing or refer you to a doctor for clearance.

Common improvements include reduced redness, less stinging, improved hydration, and skin that feels more comfortable and resilient. With consistent sessions and the right home care, results can last longer because the goal is to restore barrier function—not just provide temporary soothing. Flare-ups can still happen due to stress, weather, or harsh products, so we provide prevention tips and maintenance recommendations tailored to you.
