Oxygeneo™ Facial

Process

Before Care

• It is recommended to avoid sun exposure for at least a week before the treatment and to use a high SPF sunscreen daily.
• Avoid using exfoliating products, such as retinol, AHAs, BHAs, scrubs, and microdermabrasion, for 2-3 days before the treatment.
• If you have had recent laser, IPL, or other intense facial treatments, wait at least two weeks before scheduling an Oxygeneo™ Facial.
• Avoid waxing, threading, or electrolysis on the treatment area for at least 48 hours before the procedure.
• Inform our doctor if you have any active skin conditions, have recently used topical medications, or have undergone other facial treatments.

During Treatment

• The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped for the treatment
• OxyGeneo™ Capsugen is inserted into the OxyGeneo™ machine
• The Capsugen generates CO2 bubbles that gently exfoliate the skin and prepare it for optimal nutrient absorption
• OxyGeneo™ Gel is applied to the skin and massaged to enhance the production of carbon dioxide
• The machine then starts the OxyGeneo™ reaction, which creates a chemical reaction that causes CO2 to rise from within the skin
• The exfoliation process begins and removes the top layer of dead skin cells
• The machine then begins to infuse nutrient-rich active ingredients deep into the skin using ultrasound waves
• The treatment is completed with a cold blast of oxygen to soothe and calm the skin.

After Care

• Avoid washing your face or applying makeup or skincare products for at least 2 hours after the treatment.
• Do not use any exfoliating agents, scrubs, or acid-based products for 48 hours.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or tanning beds for at least 24 hours after the treatment, and use a high SPF sunscreen when you do go outside.
• Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and maintain the benefits of the treatment.
• Avoid touching your face unnecessarily; do not pick or squeeze any pimples or blackheads.
• If you experience any redness or irritation, apply a cool compress or a gentle moisturiser to soothe the skin.

Side effects

• This is a common side effect, particularly for those with sensitive skin. The redness usually fades within a few hours after treatment.
• The skin may feel more sensitive than usual for a few days after the treatment.
• Some people may experience a breakout of pimples or whiteheads after an OxyGeneo facial.
• There is a slight risk of hyperpigmentation in people with dark skin tones.
• Rarely, people may have an allergic reaction to one of the products used during the facial. If you have a history of allergic reactions, discussing this with your esthetician beforehand is important.
