WHAT IS THE OXYGENEO 3-IN-1 SUPER FACIAL?
The clue about what makes the Oxygeneo Super Facial treatment unique is in the name - oxygen! It's a 3-in-1 treatment that exfoliates, infuses nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, and oxygenates the skin to increase blood flow to the area and absorb nutrients. It's a non-invasive corrective treatment (meaning that the skin isn't punctured) that removes dead skin, hydrates and oxygenates using a machine called the geneO+. Here's a breakdown of each step of the treatment:
STEP 1: SKIN TIGHTENING
Firstly, the aesthetician will use tripolar RF device to heat up the skin leading to skin tightening and collagen stimulation. This device is used for around ten minutes.
STEP 2: EXFOLIATION
Using the geneO+ machine and a Capsugen capsule, which is a compressed pad of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, the aesthetician will exfoliate your face to remove any dead skin. They will then apply either the NeoBright or NeoRevive serum depending on your skin concern. I opted for the NeoRevive formula which has a high concentration of Hyaluronic acid, so it's amazing for revitalising a dull complexion, hydrating, and smoothing the appearance of fine lines. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for moisturising the skin and retaining fluids, and our bodies actually produce it naturally, but our capacity to produce it diminishes over time which is why our skin tends to get thinner, dryer, and less firm as we age.
The aesthetician will exfoliate your skin using the device for around 10 minutes, and the serum will begin to foam and bubble as you go along. When the Capsugen capsule comes into contact with the serum, it creates carbon dioxide bubbles on the skin's surface which causes oxygen-rich blood to flow to the area. When the skin is oxygenated, it's able to absorb nutrients and ingredients like Hyaluronic acid much better so the treatment is more effective. It can get slightly uncomfortable as you exfoliate and it's normal for your skin to tingle, but you can always ask to decrease the pressure & the sensation goes away as soon as you stop.
STEP 3: INFUSION AND MASSAGE
After the exfoliation, the aesthetician will wash off the formula, then apply the remainder of the serum. They will then use the device to work the formula into the skin using a massage device which allows the product to penetrate deeper into the skin all the way down to the dermal layer, which can't be achieved by simply massaging the product into the skin using your fingers.
