What is facial hydration?

Facial hydration is an aesthetic medicine procedure designed to restore the skin’s lost moisture caused by the natural aging process. Aging, combined with lifestyle factors, leads to a decrease in hyaluronic acid and collagen, resulting in dehydration, reduced elasticity, and the appearance of wrinkles.

Thanks to aesthetic medicine, it is possible to deeply hydrate the facial skin and restore the qualities of youthful tissue through the application of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA has the remarkable ability to hold up to 200 times its weight in water, contributing to skin rejuvenation. It is important to note that this substance is naturally reabsorbed by the body, which means that while it is fully biocompatible, periodic reapplication is necessary to maintain hydration and a fresh, healthy appearance.

Hydration can also be achieved through procedures such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy or the use of biostimulators, both of which help improve the overall quality of the skin.

What is facial hydration used for?

Deep facial hydration helps counteract skin dryness and dullness, improves tone, and generally prevents the signs of aging thanks to the properties of the substances or products used. In the case of hyaluronic acid, it is applied in a diluted, low-density form, which means it does not add volume.

Benefits

Facial hydration helps restore elasticity, softness, and improved tone and texture to the skin, providing flexibility and an overall rejuvenated appearance.

Facial hydration also helps reduce fine lines and is effective in soothing skin that experiences flaking or irritation.

Duration

The application session of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid for facial hydration takes less than one hour. In most cases, a single session is sufficient, with a follow-up treatment a few months later to maintain results.

Results will vary depending on the chosen facial hydration method, as well as the patient’s skin condition and lifestyle habits.

Application process

One of the methods for applying hyaluronic acid in facial hydration is mesotherapy, a French technique performed with fine needles that delivers small doses of the substance directly to the targeted area. In most cases, only one session is needed, and results can often be seen immediately. This technique can also be used to apply Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which enhances skin hydration, improves the appearance of wrinkles, and refines texture.

Deep facial hydration can be part of a comprehensive set of treatments designed to restore the skin’s healthy characteristics, known as “Skin Quality.” Dr. Juan Carlos Lloreda, a specialist in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine, explains that at his medical center, it is possible to enhance both the structure and quality of the skin through the use of biostimulators, enzymes, and advanced laser therapy. Topical products containing hyaluronic acid, retinol, vitamin C, and antioxidants are also incorporated to promote visible improvements from the deeper layers of the skin to the surface.

Expectations

Daily facial hydration should be part of a regular skincare routine. When complemented by a professional treatment, it helps strengthen the skin, enhance its healthy appearance, and improve overall skin quality in the long term.

This way, patients can expect not only deeply hydrated skin but also a visibly rejuvenated appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my facial skin is dehydrated?

It is easy to identify dehydration when the skin feels tight, becomes flaky, develops deeper expression lines, and appears dull.

When is the best time to hydrate the face?

At home, it is recommended to hydrate the skin both morning and night using products suited to your skin type. For example, those with oily skin should choose moisturizers in emulsion or gel form to prevent excess oil production, blackheads, or comedones that may result from overhydration. Conversely, using the wrong products can also cause dryness and sensitivity.

How many types of facial hydration are there, and what are they?

There are two types of hydration to consider. Internal hydration involves drinking sufficient water and consuming natural, unprocessed foods that promote healthy, radiant skin. External hydration includes daily skincare habits using appropriate products, along with professional treatments that provide deeper, longer-lasting effects by stimulating collagen production.

Contraindications

These facial hydration procedures are not recommended for individuals with allergies to hyaluronic acid or certain medical conditions such as psoriasis, open wounds, or other active skin allergies. Likewise, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments are not advised for patients with bleeding disorders, pregnancy, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, active rheumatologic disease, or skin cancer.

Recommendations

The skin should always be protected from sun exposure through the regular use of sunscreen. Likewise, maintaining a healthy, balanced diet supports proper hydration, along with consistent cleansing and daily skincare habits.
