In the winter season, having a proper skincare routine becomes vital to keep skin healthy and glowing. The less humid, colder air, along with indoor heating, wreaks havoc on the skin, so it needs pampering to avoid dullness, tightness, and flaking.
Dry, cold winter months are the best time to invest in professional skincare treatments, as the weather conditions are optimal for healing and for treatments to be effective. If you desire healthy, radiant skin all year-round, starting HydraFacial in Bangalore this winter at Dr. Dixit Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic can bring a remarkable improvement in your appearance.
What is HydraFacial?
HydraFacial is a multi-step, minimally invasive treatment that uses patented vortex fusion technology, along with skin-nourishing and hydrating serums, to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract, infuse, and protect the skin in a single sitting.
Why is HydraFacial Most Sought After in Winters?
In winter, outdoor air is cold and less humid, while indoors, the body is kept warm with heaters. Whether one is inside or outside, the skin undergoes trans-epidermal water loss. Furthermore, in winter, hot, long showers and excessive cleansing strip away moisture from superficial skin. Though one uses heavy, occlusive products to keep the skin moisturised, without regular exfoliation and proper humectants, the skin still feels tight and looks dull.
HydraFacial is a perfect investment to consider for winter, as it:
- Provides intense hydration and best barrier support- The infusion of hydrating serums into thoroughly clean skin, with the help of vortex fusion technology, helps restore water content in the deeper layers of the skin and keeps the skin barrier intact and optimally functional.
- Calms redness and sensitivity of skin- HydraFacial is gentle on the skin, and by restoring the skin hydration, it helps combat the winter dryness, redness, and sensitivity without irritation.
- Allows more effective product absorption- Vortex fusion technology in HydraFacial helps eliminate dry, flaky, dead skin. The fresh, clear skin allows the topical hydrating skincare products to penetrate more deeply and work optimally.
- Improves skin texture and tone - The clearing of skin pores and simultaneous infusion of skin-hydrating and nourishing serums leave the skin healthy and glass-like, even after one session. Moreover, vortex fusion technology improves blood circulation, providing a healthy glow.
Who Benefits the Most from HydraFacial in Winters?
HydraFacial is most effective for individuals with:
- Healthy lifestyle
- Red, sensitive skin
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Desire to have a natural makeup look
- Oily and combination skin or mild acne breakouts

- Commitment to a good skincare routine
- Good general health, but dry, flaky, dull, and tired-looking skin.

What to Expect at a HydraFacial Session- How HydraFacial Works?
A HydraFacial session is of 30-40 minutes and involves the following steps:
- Cleanse and Exfoliate- A special wand with a tip having vortex-like motion is used with water and mild acids like glycolic acid and salicylic acid. This helps remove all surface debris, impurities, and dead skin cells, and prepares the skin for further treatment.
- Extract and Hydrate- The wand has vacuum suction at one end, so all impurities, debris, and excess oil are gently pulled out of the pores. Simultaneously, the skin-nourishing serums are infused deeply into the skin.
- Infuse and Protect- The clean skin is infused with potent antioxidants, moisturisers, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. This quenches, protects, and plumps the skin, leaving it naturally radiant.
- LED Light Therapy (Optional) - If the skin has inflammation and needs a collagen boost, red LED light therapy is used at the end; if acne, blue LED light is directed onto the skin.
How Often Should HydraFacial be Scheduled in Winters?
The usual recommended frequency of sessions is one every 4-6 weeks. In cases where the targeted skin is parched or the goal is to achieve glowing skin for an event, one HydraFacial session every month for 3 consecutive months can provide a sheen and a high-quality finish. For an immediate dewy glow, experts suggest scheduling a HydraFacial a few days before an event.
How to Keep Glowing Skin Steady After HydraFacial?
To maintain optimal HydraFacial results, here are the pro tips to follow after getting a HydraFacial:
- Do not apply heavy makeup for at least 24 hours
- Keep your hands off the treated skin to avoid dirt and bacteria build-up
- Be gentle with the skin. Use only mild, non-scented skincare products and pat skin dry
- Have a well-balanced diet, rich in antioxidants, to keep skin healthy
- Get well-rested sleep at night to support the natural skin regeneration and healing
- Refrain from use of potent actives like strong chemical exfoliants, physical scrubs, and retin-oids for up to a week, as these can make the skin irritated
- On clean, damp skin, use a suitable moisturiser containing ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or glycerin to seal in moisture
- Keep the treated area away from direct sunlight, heat, and sweat. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30, and reapply every 2 hours when spending most of the day outdoors.
- Drink adequate water daily to keep the skin hydrated from within and support its health and healing.
