OxyGeneo™ is an innovative technology for skin exfoliation (removal of dead skin cells from the skin surface), improving skin oxygen levels and infusion of valuable products to enrich the skin. The simultaneous skin exfoliation along with skin oxygenation optimizes the absorption of the valuable components in the nutrient-rich gels into the skin. This treatment is great for teenagers with congestion who don’t need the tripolar anti-ageing component of the 4-in–1 facial.
OxyGeneo™ capitalizes on the Bohr Effect that was discovered by Christian Bohr in 1904. The effect indicates that when the CO2 (Carbon dioxide) concentration increases, the hemoglobin releases oxygen from within. The OxyGeneo™ interaction between the capsule and the treatment gel creates abundance of CO2 on the skin that triggers the Bohr Effect that oxygenate the skin naturally. Oxygenating the skin is beneficial in all anti-aging and corrective skin procedures.
An OxyGeneo™ treatment feels like a massage for the face. The exfoliation is described as very refreshing and comfortable and, because there is no vacuum procedure (like with other facial devices) the overall treatment is more soothing and relaxing. Many clients fall asleep and wake feeling rested and rejuvenated. More sensitive skin type clients may have a warm sensation on the skin during the first part of the treatment.
After the OxyGeneo™ treatment the skin is rich with oxygen and nutrients of the oxypods, it will look smooth, soft, shiny, plump and radiant. The skin feels fresh, soft, smooth and active.
The use of a vacuum (like with a microdermabrasion device and other infusion technologies) can damage the capillaries and cause visible small veins over time. Because the OxyGeneo™ is a non-vacuum device, it’s safe for use on all skin types (including sensitive skin), in capillary-rich areas of the face such as the nose, and on the sensitive skin around the eyes and mouth.
To treat skin issues such as sun damage or acne, once a week treatments are recommended. Scheduling an OxyGeneo™ treatment once a month to treat the skin is the perfect long term anti-aging maintenance program. Your skin care specialist will set you up with a schedule that best suits your needs.
Yes! The OxyGeneo™ treatment has no downtime and the skin looks and feels great right after the treatment. If you have an upcoming event, schedule your OxyGeneo™ treatment on the same day or a day before and the effect will be well visible during the event.
