What is an oxygen facial?

An oxygen facial is a non-invasive facial treatment that delivers a concentrated stream of oxygen into your skin along with a group of vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients directly into the skin. This oxygen-rich environment stimulates cell turnover, boosts collagen production, improves healing, strengthens skin barrier, and improves blood circulation. And it creates a visible plumping effect, resulting in a glowing and rejuvenated complexion.

Benefits of oxygen facial:

Hydration: Oxygen facials deliver deep hydration by infusing the skin with essential nutrients and moisture, which improves hydration levels and gives the skin a plump and hydrated youthful appearance.

Glow: Another benefit of oxygen facials is the instant glow to the skin. The infusion of oxygen helps to brighten the complexion and reduce dullness.

 Oxygen therapy boosts blood circulation to the skin, supplying more oxygen to the cells. This enhanced circulation supports better overall skin health and a more radiant look. Reduces Inflammation Oxygen can sooth irritated skin and reduce inflammation.

Enhances collagen production: Collagen is essential for skin elasticity and firmness. The oxygen facial treatment stimulates collagen production, contributing to a more youthful look. As collagen levels increase, fine lines, dark spots, and wrinkles become less noticeable.

Non-invasive: Unlike other skin treatments that involve needles, oxygen facials are completely non-invasive. There’s no pain or downtime time, making them the best facial treatment for those with busy schedules. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment without any redness or irritation, which are often associated with more aggressive facial procedures.

 Topical oxygen therapy is a cosmetic procedure that is is carried out in dermatology. Oxygen infusions provided by devices allow flows of pure oxygen (up to 96%) to reach the superficial layer of the skin and to be absorbed by the dermis and the epidermis. 

 Other techniques of oxygen therapy, such as hyperbaric oxygen treatments, are widely used in the treatment of other skin diseases, including wound healing, hidradenitis suppurativa, burns, skin grafts, and others. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was also proposed as a skin rejuvenation and antiaging treatment.

Oxygen has various beneficial effects on the skin. It is capable of improving cellular metabolism, of accelerating the healing processes, reducing skin irritations, and of producing an anti-inflammatory effect. Oxygen is also able to produces a neoangiogenic effect. Oxygen also has an antibacterial effect thanks to its ability to release reactive oxygen species , compounds that are extremely toxic, as they degrade cellular membranes and cause death of the pathogenic microorganisms.

Oxygen Therapy in Acne :

A  study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of oxygen therapy in the treatment of mild acne vulgaris and effectiveness of the same treatment in conjunction with a sebo-regulating drug

In conclusion, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy offers a great option to optimize skin rejuvenation and longevity, offering a holistic approach to skincare from a medical perspective. With its ability to enhance collagen production, accelerate healing, and combat biological signs of aging. Consult your Dermatologist to know more about your skin.
