Which Injectable Hydration is Right for Your Winter Skin?

With colder temperatures, dry indoor heating, and less humidity, winter can cause our skin to become dry and dull. 

While topical treatments like rich moisturisers can help, if you suffer from dry, flaky skin, injectable hydration treatments can be an excellent way to help restore your glow from beneath the surface.

Some of our most popular injectable hydration treatments at Hannah London are Skin Boosters and Profhilo. We’ve discussed which treatment might be more suitable for your winter skin problems below.

Why We Get Dry Skin In Winter

The environment during winter becomes very dry with the indoor heating and cold air holding less moisture. These factors can often affect our skin’s natural barrier, making us more prone to dry skin.

Many of us experience a tight skin feeling, dull appearance, and increased sensitivity in cold weather. Injectable hydration treatments become increasingly popular during this time of year when people want to restore their natural glow and tackle their dry skin.

What Are Skin Boosters? 

Skin boosters have become very in demand recently. They are injectable treatments that help to hydrate the skin and often contain hyaluronic acid. Unlike fillers, they do not add direct volume to the skin. 

Some results of skin boosters are smoothness and radiance, skin elasticity, and a more glowy complexion. This is one of the best facials for dry winter skin to support your skin’s natural barrier during the colder months.

Some popular skin boosters we offer at Hannah London are Jalupro, Sunekos, Polynucelotides, Light Eyes Ultra, and the Seventy Hyal skin booster. 

What Is Profhilo? 

Profhilo, known as a bio-remodelling treatment, also uses hyaluronic acid like skin boosters but at a higher concentration. Rather than being injected into single problem areas, Profhilo spreads more evenly under the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

This skin treatment is ideal for anti-aging as well as helping dry skin problems, making your skin look refreshed and youthful. 

Skin Booster Vs Profhilo – What Lasts The Longest? 

Skin boosters can give a visible glow within 1-2 weeks and can last up to 6 months. Profhilo takes a little longer to show over a month as collagen is stimulated. It can also last up to 6-9 months.

Both of these skin treatments benefit from 1-3 sessions initially, then maintenance sessions when needed.

Skin boosters and Profhilo are both ideal skin treatments if you have sensitive skin with a minimal downtime of up to 48 hours. Slight redness and swelling at the injection site may be possible for a few hours after treatment.

Which Injectable Hydration Is Best In Winter?

Both Skin Boosters and Profhilo can be excellent choices to tackle winter dryness as they provide beneath-the-skin hydration, restoring your skin barrier and helping stimulate collagen production.

We suggest skin boosters are the better choice if you want to treat targeted areas like your eyes, as well as general dehydration.

Profhilo, on the other hand, is best for when your skin feels dry, lacks elasticity, and if you’re noticing early signs of ageing. 

Both of these treatments can help boost skin health in the winter and can even be combined as part of a personalised skin treatment plan. 

How To Help Beat Winter Skin Dryness 

In addition to Profhilo and Skin Boosters, good skincare habits can also help to support your injectable hydration treatments and make them last longer. 

Some tips we recommend to help tackle winter dryness are – 

• Use rich moisturisers or night creams to lock in moisture overnight.
• Avoid over-exfoliating.
• Stay hydrated. 
• Use gentle cleansers.
• Wear an SPF (yes, even in the winter!).
• Avoid using very hot water to shower.
