For those interested in receiving Hydro treatment in Hiroshima. Hydro is a formulation created using a special technique that combines three types of hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights. When injected, it stimulates cells and promotes the remodeling of the skin’s internal structure. Since it is expected to improve skin hydration, firmness, and radiance, this treatment is ideal for those considering anti-aging care. YAYOI CLINIC in Hiroshima explains the basics of Hydro and provides precautions to follow before and after the procedure.
What Is Hydro? An Explanation from Yayoi Clinic in Hiroshima
What exactly is a hydro treatment? Here, we’ll explain how hydro treatments work and how they differ from hyaluronic acid injections.
■How Hydro Treatments Work and Their Effects
Hydro is a hyaluronic acid formulation manufactured by the Italian company PROMOITALIA. Using a special technology, a single formulation combines three types of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights: high, medium, and low. It is also known as hybrid hyaluronic acid.
Hydro is thisThe three types of hyaluronic acid work together to support the remodeling of the skin’s inner layers. Since you can expect improvements in your skin’s overall moisture levels, firmness, and radiance,It is used in treatments aimed at anti-aging care (care tailored to one's age).。
Next, let’s take a look at how the three hyaluronic acid molecules that make up Hydro work. First, high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid enhances the dermis’s ability to retain moisture, helping to maintain the skin’s hydration.
Medium-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid acts on fibroblasts and keratinocytes—cells essential for maintaining healthy skin—to support the production of collagen and elastin. This leads to the remodeling of the extracellular matrix in the dermis.
Furthermore, because low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid diffuses easily into surrounding tissues, it is readily absorbed by the skin and is expected to enhance the feeling of hydration immediately after treatment.
■ Differences from Conventional Beauty Treatments
Both traditional hyaluronic acid injections (filler injections) and Hydro use hyaluronic acid, but their purposes are different.
First, hyaluronic acid injections (filler injections) involve using a hyaluronic acid formulation with a certain degree of firmness to add volume beneath the skin, thereby making wrinkles and indentations less noticeable. This procedure involves injecting the solution into areas of concern to restore volume and firmness, as well as to refine facial contours.
On the other hand, Hydro is not a treatment primarily intended for volume enhancement or contouring.A treatment that stimulates skin cells to promote collagen production, aiming to improve moisture and firmness throughout the face and neckThat's why, due to these characteristics, Hydro is also known as a "skin-nourishing injection" or a "collagen booster."
■Why Hydro Is Gaining Attention
Hydro is a hyaluronic acid formulation derived from non-animal sources and free of chemical cross-linking agents. Because the hyaluronic acid molecules are bonded together using a special heat treatment technology, compared to conventional cross-linked hyaluronic acid formulations,Makes it easier to take allergy risks into accountIt can be assumed that...
In addition, hyaluronic acid that does not contain cross-linking agents has a smooth texture and tends to spread naturally after injection. It easily permeates uniformly over a wide area from the injection site to the surrounding tissues, andEven a small amount makes it easy to apply to the entire faceThe points are characterized by the following features.
Changes You Can Expect from Hydro Treatments
Hydro can be used for treatments covering the entire face and neck, as well as for targeted injections in specific areas such as the forehead, cheeks, under the eyes, and temples. Hydro offers the following benefits:
- Increased skin moisture
- Improved skin elasticity and firmness
- Increased skin luster
- Make wrinkles less noticeable
- Supports the skin's natural fullness
Thanks to the synergistic effects of these three types of hyaluronic acid, you can expect improvements in your skin’s moisture and firmness. Additionally, by promoting the production of collagen and elastin within the skin and aiding in skin regeneration, it increases the density of the dermis, helping to create a smoother, more even complexion. Hydro is,A treatment that effectively addresses a wide range of age-related skin concernsIt is.
In addition, since Hydro works on skin cells to support collagen production, some people notice a difference even after just one treatment. To make the effects of Hydro last longer—depending on your skin condition—We recommend receiving treatment about 3 to 4 times every two weeks.I am doing this.

■ Post-treatment care and follow-up
After the injection, you may experience swelling, bruising, a stinging sensation, itching, redness, or a feeling of warmth at the injection site. Swelling may last for 1 to 2 days, and bruising may last for about 7 days, but these symptoms will gradually subside as the medication spreads.
Also, please refrain from wearing makeup for 12 hours after the treatment.On the day of your stay, only showers are available; you can take a bath starting the next day..
