What Is Hydra Facial? Dermatologist Explains How This Treatment Gives You Clear, Glowing Skin

During summer, keeping your skin hydrated and healthy becomes a real challenge. While you may try hydrating foods or skincare routines, sticking to them consistently isn't always easy. That’s where professional treatments like Hydra Facial come in — offering a quick, effective way to rejuvenate your skin, unclog pores, and bring out a natural glow.

TV9 Bharatvarsh spoke to dermatologist Dr. Omaima Jawaid, who broke down everything you need to know about this increasingly popular skincare treatment.

What Is Hydra Facial?

Dr. Omaima Jawaid explains that Hydra Facial is a non-invasive skin treatment that involves multiple steps — cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of skin-friendly antioxidants. You can even customize the serum infusions (like Vitamin C or hyaluronic acid) depending on your skin needs.

This multi-step process removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, deeply hydrates the skin, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your face smooth, refreshed, and evenly toned.

Why It’s Perfect for Summer

Summer heat, humidity, and pollution often clog pores and lead to breakouts. Dr. Jawaid highlights that Hydra Facial clears these pores, removes excess oil and debris, and boosts hydration, giving your skin a fresh, clean feel.

After pore cleansing, antioxidant-rich serums are applied to nourish and protect the skin, making it ideal for acne-prone or dull summer skin.

How Often Should You Get a Hydra Facial?

• For healthy skin: Once a month is enough.

• For troubled or dull skin: Every 15–20 days is recommended.

This helps maintain hydration, radiance, and prevent recurring skin issues.

Who Can Get It Done?

Hydra Facial is generally considered safe for all skin types and ages. However, Dr. Jawaid advises avoiding the treatment if:

• You have active acne flare-ups

• You have open wounds or cuts on your face

In such cases, it’s best to let the skin heal first.

Hydra Facial Aftercare: What to Do and Avoid

Dr. Jawaid emphasizes the importance of sun protection post-treatment:

• Apply sunscreen regularly

• Use a scarf or umbrella when stepping out

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 24–48 hours

Proper care helps prolong the effects of the facial and prevents skin damage.
