Dull Skin Treatment (Bejaan Jild)
Does your skin look flat, tired or grey, even after a good night’s sleep? Dull skin is usually a build-up of dead cells, dryness and uneven tone, so light scatters off it instead of reflecting. Dull skin treatment clears and hydrates the surface: a HydraFacial or HD Glow Facial brings back the glow in one visit, from about Rs 4,900 a session in a course.
Also known as bejaan jild, chehre ki raunaq, tired skin or lacklustre skin.
Is this you?
- Skin looks flat or tired in photos and in the mirror
- Make-up doesn’t sit smoothly and looks cakey
- Rough texture when you touch your face
- Uneven tone, darker in some places than others
- Skin feels dry or tight by the evening
See a doctor first if dullness came on together with tiredness, weight change, heavy hair fall or pale skin: a medical cause may need checking first.
What causes dull skin?
- Dead skin build-up Old cells that haven’t shed sit on the surface and scatter light instead of reflecting it.
- Dryness Dehydrated skin looks flat and shows fine lines more.
- Sun and pollution UV and city air leave skin uneven and tired-looking.
- Uneven tone Tan and dark patches make skin look less bright.
- Age Skin renews more slowly with age, so dullness builds faster.

What results to expect
Dull skin responds quickly. Skin looks brighter straight after a HydraFacial, and the HD Glow Facial’s glow is at its best three to seven days later, once light flaking settles. A course works more deeply: in a small study, six hydradermabrasion sessions (the method a HydraFacial uses) thickened the skin’s outer and inner layers and raised its antioxidant levels. Mesotherapy and skin boosters build a hydrated glow over a few weeks.
The honest limit: the glow from one facial lasts a few weeks, so it needs upkeep, usually a monthly session, with daily sunscreen and moisturiser.
Caring for your skin at home
- Cleanse gently twice a day, and take make-up off every night.
- Exfoliate gently once or twice a week, not every day.
- Moisturise morning and night, because hydrated skin looks brighter.
- Sunscreen every day, SPF 30 or higher, because sun leaves tone uneven.
- Skip lemon, baking soda and rough scrubs: they irritate the skin and can leave it more uneven.
Dull skin: your questions answered
Straight answers from our doctors to what people ask most about dull skin.
Choosing a treatment 6
01What is the best treatment for dull skin?
It depends on why your skin looks dull.
For flat, rough or uneven skin, the light peel in the HD Glow Facial brings the quickest glow. For dull, dry skin, a HydraFacial hydrates as it cleans. For a deeper glow, face mesotherapy or Profhilo hydrate from inside. Your doctor matches the treatment to your skin.
02What is the best facial for glowing skin?
A HydraFacial is the most popular, because it cleans, exfoliates and hydrates in one session with no downtime, for Rs 6,995.
The HD Glow Facial suits rough, uneven skin, and the Red Carpet Facial is made for weddings and big events. See all our facials to compare.
03Which facial is best before a wedding?
Start a month or two before with a monthly HydraFacial or HD Glow Facial, so skin is clear and bright.
One to three days before, the Red Carpet Facial adds a glow with no peeling. Avoid new peels or products in the final week, so nothing irritates your skin.
04Do glow drips or glutathione help dull skin?
They help some people.
A glutathione drip lifts dullness and softens a tan in people who respond, over a weekly course of about 10, but the effect fades once sessions stop. Facials and peels work on the surface you see, so most people start there.
05Do home remedies work for dull skin?
Some help a little.
Gentle cleansing, a moisturiser and daily sunscreen keep skin fresher. Harsh scrubs, lemon or baking soda irritate the skin and can leave it more uneven. A clinic facial clears the dull layer more evenly and quickly.

Cost & results 2
07How much does dull skin treatment cost in Pakistan?
Dull skin treatment starts at about Rs 4,900 a session for the HD Glow Facial in a course of 3 (Rs 14,690), or Rs 6,995 for one.
A HydraFacial is Rs 6,995, face mesotherapy Rs 11,995 (Rs 25,190 for three) and the Red Carpet Facial Rs 14,995. Prices are the same at all 12 clinics, the consultation is free, and any current offer is explained at the clinic.
08How long does the glow last, and how often should I come?
The glow from one facial lasts a few weeks.
A course of three, about a month apart, builds smoother texture and more even tone, then a monthly visit keeps it. Coming more often gives your skin too little time to settle between peels.
Safety & recovery 2
09Is there any downtime?
Very little.
After a HydraFacial you go straight back to your day. The HD Glow Facial can leave mild redness for a few hours and light flaking for a few days, and mesotherapy redness for a day or two. Book a peel facial three to seven days before an event.
10Can men get a glow facial?
Yes, the same facials work on men’s skin.
HydraFacial for men works around the beard, and the HD Glow Facial suits oily, rough or dull-looking skin, with little downtime before work. Prices are the same for men and women.
