An Overview of the Oxygenating Facial From Spa Technicians 

What's an Oxygen Facial?

At its most basic level, oxygenating facials utilize pressurized oxygen to deliver unique serum blends to the skin on a deeper level than possible without the oxygenating process. While infusion types vary slightly, the key ingredient in each formula is a molecule that is hyaluronic acid. Naturally found in your skin, this molecule helps skin look firmer and fuller by attracting and binding moisture.

What’s the First Step?

A technician will start by cleansing and exfoliating the skin. Then, the technician will assess the unique needs of your face to determine the best infusion for your skin. While each of the infusion options is a mixture of hyaluronic acids, botanical extracts, peptides, vitamins, and antibiotics, there are four different blends from which to choose. The combination you choose will depend on whether you’re looking to reduce to appearance of fine lines, even out your skin’s coloration, reduce acne or simulate Botox™.

spaHow is It Administered?

After the infusion option is chosen, the technician will spray the serum on your skin before using an oxygen wand to enhance the absorption of the serum. This should not be painful at all. If anything, you’ll feel a bit of pressure and a blast of cool air during the procedure. Once the technician has worked the wand over your entire face, you will get a topical cream application and be on your way. This takes about an hour from start to finish.

The Benefits

The benefits of the treatment include everything from reduced wrinkles to acne treatment and prevention. Depending on the infusion you choose, you will see firmer, more evenly toned skin across your face. You will likely watch fine lines dramatically lessen without Botox treatments. Your skin will look and feel firmer and more youthful. At the most basic level, these treatments restore your face to its optimal form.
