In winter, the skin is put to the test. Cold, wind, indoor heating, lack of light… Result: tightness, discomfort, dull complexion, accentuated fine lines and the sensation of skin that 'drinks' all creams without ever being truly hydrated.

While cosmetic treatments can provide temporary relief, they are often not enough to rehydrate the skin deeply or restore its barrier function.
At ANAGEN, we prioritize targeted medical solutions capable of acting where creams cannot.

Dry skin or dehydrated skin: what’s the difference?

Before choosing a treatment, it is essential to distinguish between these two states that are often confused.

Dry skin

• Lack of lipids (fat)

• Permanent feeling of discomfort

• Thin skin, sometimes reactive

• Tendency to redness

Dehydrated skin

• Lack of water (can affect all skin types)

• Tightness, dehydrated fine lines

• Dull complexion

• Sensation of 'crinkled' skin

👉 In winter, the majority of patients suffer primarily from deep dehydration, even with normally combination or oily skin.

Why does winter intensify skin dehydration?

Several factors explain this seasonal phenomenon:

• Cold, dry air outside

• Drying indoor heating

• Less overall hydration

• Decrease in skin microcirculation

• Natural decrease of hyaluronic acid with age

👉 To restore balance, action must be taken at the dermis level, not just on the surface.

1. The Skinbooster: the medical hydration reference in winter

The skinbooster is one of the most effective treatments for dehydrated skin in winter.

How does the skinbooster work?

It involves injections of very fluid hyaluronic acid, specifically designed to:

• intensely hydrate the skin deeply,

• restore elasticity,

• smooth dehydrated fine lines,

• restore radiance and comfort.

Why is it ideal in winter?

Unlike creams, the skinbooster works from the inside, providing long-lasting hydration for several months.

Results

• Skin feels more supple and plump

• Disappearance of tightness

• Complexion looks brighter

• Natural result, no volume added

2. Medical needling: repairing and strengthening the skin barrier

The medical needling is particularly interesting in winter when the skin is weakened.

Its action

• Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin

• Improves skin texture

• Strengthens the skin barrier

• Optimizes the penetration of hydrating active ingredients

For whom?

• Dry or rough skin

• Uneven texture

• Dull complexion

• First signs of sagging

👉 Needling perfectly prepares the skin to receive hydrating treatments such as skinboosters.

3. IV Drips: hydrating the skin from within

Skin hydration also depends on the overall balance of the body.

The ANAGEN IV Drips deliver directly into the bloodstream:

• vitamins,

• minerals,

• antioxidants,

• essential micronutrients.

Recommended formulas in winter

• Radiance Hair & Skin → radiance, hydration, skin quality

• Mega-C Boost → energy, immunity, and brightness

• Signature Elixir → overall vitality and cellular support

Visible benefits

The ANAGEN Winter Skin Protocol: a combined approach

For optimal results in winter, ANAGEN recommends a synergistic approach:

• Skinbooster → deep hydration

• Medical needling → repair and stimulation

• IV Drips → internal support and lasting radiance

Each protocol is personalized according to:

• your skin type,

• your level of dehydration,

• your age,

• your lifestyle.

Mistakes to avoid in winter

❌ Using multiple creams without lasting results
❌ Excessively exfoliating already weakened skin
❌ Neglecting internal hydration
