OXYGEN INFUSION FACIAL
THE BASICS?
The procedure is non-medical, which means no chemical usage, and nothing is injected. These facials work by using our body’s need for oxygen. The theory behind them is that the skin cells are completely oxygenated with an oxygen facial and will appear brighter and healthier.
The procedure begins with exfoliation and then we use a wand to spray a stream of pressurized oxygen to the face. Afterward, a serum (typically containing hyaluronic acid) is applied to the skin with a specialized wand after the oxygen step.
There is no necessary recovery time after the facial is complete. You can even apply makeup when finished if you like.
OXYGEN INFUSION FACIAL BENEFITS
Clients report their skin looks healthier and brighter because of the facials. There are even before and after pictures that support this claim. There, unfortunately, is no scientific research to support the claim.
FACIAL BENEFITS
Added radiance. Some believe the primary benefit of oxygen facials is that they help the pores more easily absorb hyaluronic acid and other beneficial serums’ ingredients.
Hydration. Oxygen aids the infusion of the serums into the skin. The oxygen wand is like a little tube that adds ingredients. Your skin should look and feel highly hydrated.
Less acne. Oxygen accelerates wound healing and may also kill some bacteria. For this reason, places with low levels of oxygen, such as airplanes, sometimes cause skin issues. For these reasons, oxygen facials can calm acne and kill Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, which causes some acne types.
More even skin tone. Oxygen facials may deliver a significant quantity of vitamins or botanical ingredients to your skin, which often results in bright, glowing skin.
Fine line reduction. Oxygen facials can help improve blood circulation to the face, which helps skin look bright and plump.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET AN OXYGEN INFUSION FACIAL?
We recommend getting facials once a month. But oxygen facials exfoliate less than regular facials.
Oxygen facials help your skin maintain a youthful and healthy look. Dermatologists sometimes recommend facial for people in their 20s. You can get one at any age. But you might consider more decadent treatments, like lasers and micro-needling, as you age.
