Oxygen Facial
Never heard of it?
The o2toDerm, also known as Oxygen Glass Facial or Oxygen Dome Therapy, is a hyperbaric anion oxygen system. This unique facial treatment utilizes a combination of a hyperbaric-like chamber & a handheld oxygen infusion tool to infuse the skin with oxygen. The purpose of this treatment is to protect, revitalize, & re-energize the skin by creating a barrier against daily environmental pollutants while also plumping up the skin cells. The o2toDerm system extracts nitrogen from the air, converting it into 90 percent purified oxygen, which is then infused into the skin to re-energize the cells. Following the treatment, the skin appears clean, healthy, & radiant. It is a gentle procedure that requires no downtime between treatments & can be combined with various other procedures for enhanced results.
Effects Of Oxygen
Oxygen is a vital element for our respiratory function & overall bodily well-being. It also plays a crucial role in the regeneration of damaged cells & the breakdown of lactic acid. The o2toDerm system generates up to 90 percent pure oxygen, significantly enhancing skin respiration, rejuvenating the skin, & yielding anti-aging benefits. This process improves the skin's ability to produce collagen, thereby reducing signs of aging. Additionally, it eliminates Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which are major contributors to skin aging.
Effects Of Anion
Anions (often referred to as "vitamins from the air") have a positive impact on respiration, cell activity, & overall well-being. These negatively charged ions possess the ability to reduce the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby revitalizing cells, improving the circulatory system, & enhancing the body's healing response. Reactive Oxygen Species are a group of reactive molecules & free radicals that originate from oxygen. Excessive ROS can lead to cell death, while an adequate amount can support cellular growth. Free radicals are atoms or molecules that have lost one or more electrons, leading to a destabilizing chain reaction as they attempt to regain stability. Factors such as air pollution, radiation, smoking, burnt food, extreme stress, & sun exposure can contribute to the generation of free radicals.
What can it help with?
Read the list of skin conditions that Oxygen Facials can help with.
Wound Healing & Repair
Injuries to the skin cause harm to the blood vessels, leading to the release of fluid that seeps into the surrounding tissues & results in swelling. This swelling restricts the oxygen supply to the affected cells, leading to tissue death. The purpose of oxygen facials is to interrupt this cycle of swelling & oxygen deprivation. The cells in our skin have a limited lifespan; they die naturally & are replaced by new cells. By introducing oxygen to the skin, we facilitate the production of new cells at an accelerated rate. This increased cellular turnover aids in the faster healing of acne scars, sun spots, & other imperfections.
Detoxifying
The oxygen facial helps the skin utilize the oxygen, the nutrients & vitamins infused in it. Air pollution, cigarette smoke, & other everyday toxins rob the skin of essential oxygen. Oxygen facials help rejuvenate oxygen-starved skin & reverses the effects of pollutants. This facial removes all impurities from the epidermis (top layer of the skin), boosting the oxygen content. The hyaluronic serum used in it also removes the dead cells from the top layer, opens up clogged pores, & brings out that natural glow to your face.
Acne
Acne is formed when the skin cells are clogged, trapping dirt & oils in them, causing the pores to get enlarged. The hyaluronic acid used in oxygen facial helps in shrinking the pores & doesn't let your skin accumulate dust and dirt. Not only does this treatment help shrink pores, but it offers a deep cleansing so you can have acne and blemish-free skin. Oxygen works as an antibacterial & antimicrobial. It has been shown to have detoxification effects & suppresses inflammation, working beautifully as maintenance in between regularly scheduled facials, or while incorporated in acne facial. As a result, it remains glowing for longer, you won't get annoying pimples, zits, & acne.
Fine Lines & Aging Skin
Collagen is a vital protein responsible for the cohesion & elasticity of skin cells. This plays a crucial role in maintaining the strength & youthful appearance of our skin. As collagen weakens naturally over time, wrinkles begin to emerge. An oxygen facial offers a significant advantage by providing a boost to the production of collagen in the skin, resulting in increased firmness while reduction in fine lines & wrinkles. By infusing the skin with essential vitamins & oxygen, oxygen facials stimulate collagen production. The introduction of oxygen enhances tissue regeneration, blood vessel development, improving circulation in the skin & promoting the synthesis of new collagen fibers.
Dry & Dehydrated Skin
Constant exposure to the sun, dust, & pollution rob your skin of its natural moisture content. This makes it extremely dry & lifeless. The process consists of using hyperbaric oxygen to penetrate the skin, in order to stimulate hyaluronic acid production. The hyaluronic acid in an oxygen facial deeply moisturizes your skin, restoring its pH balance & shielding it from sun damage. Your skin will emerge deeply hydrated & balanced with a healthy glow.
Hyperpigmentation
Oxygen helps in fighting off & preventing unwanted chemicals from being absorbed while stopping harmful UV rays via the production of melanin (which is where your pigment arises). Oxygen Facials also encourage cell turnover so that in conjunction with enhanced actives will leave skin looking lighter & brighter. The serum used for oxygen facial is rich in hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamins, & botanical extracts that treat uneven skin tone and make your face look bright.
