Oxygen Facial
A New Option for Younger-Looking Skin
An oxygen facial involves a machine that sprays atomized moisturizers onto the skin using a stream of pressurized oxygen. The treatment will hydrate skin immediately, making the face appear smoother and plumper.
Oxygen facials will combat visible signs of aging linked to poor conveyance of oxygen from subcutaneous capillaries to the surface of the skin. They address the deficiency by delivering highly concentrated oxygen molecules directly to the epidermis. A stream of high-pressurized oxygen infused with botanical, vitamin, mineral, and nutrient extracts is applied to the face and neck. The oxygen absorbs the moisturizing agents into the skin for a smoother, plumper look, providing a healthy glow.
Oxygen is suggested to strengthen skin’s elasticity and help eliminate acne-causing bacteria, as well as reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, and diminish pores.
Many people who experience the non-surgical oxygen facial treatment see an immediate change in their appearancekeyword>. Effects of oxygen facials are said to last about two days; for best results, our specialist at Fine Spine Health and Wellness Center recommends a series of six treatments along a six-week timeframe, followed by monthly touch-up visits.
Fine Spine Health and Wellness Center now offers oxygen facials. Since this is a non-medical procedure that does not require injections or the use of any chemicals, this procedure is performed by our cosmetology specialist. Before the actual oxygen treatment begins, our doctor will first exfoliate your skin to ensure that it is free of dirt and excess oils.
After the exfoliation, the spa professional will use a machine that introduces oxygen directly into the skin’s pores. The oxygen used is usually treated with a number of supplements that are good for the skin, such as vitamins, to help the skin retain its firmness and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. The procedure is painless and requires no harsh chemical peels, as the whole point is to oxygenate the skin so that it can heal itself more quickly.
Unlike microdermabrasion and other methods of smoothing out the skin for a more even tone, an oxygen facial does not usually cause any side effects, such as stinging, itching, or burning. The method of delivery used in order to pump oxygen into the skin is gentle, which makes the treatment a viable option for those with sensitive skin, and who have difficulties with injections or other harsh treatments to get rid of wrinkles. Those who have an oxygen facial can resume normal activities right away and even apply makeup or lotion without worrying about how the skin will react.
The infusion of oxygen and vitamins is good for the skin because it encourage the growth of new cells as well as collagen. This treatment may also rejuvenate skin that has been exposed to pollutants, such as tobacco smoke and other toxins that starve cells of their oxygen. In addition, while some treatments can cost hundreds of dollars, an oxygen facial is still less expensive than Botox injections or other chemical facial fillers. This treatment has even been used to get rid of acne scars, as it is believed that the infusion of oxygen helps the skin to create new cells at a faster rate and reduce the appearance of blemishes.
One of the reasons why this treatment has become so popular is because an oxygen facial has little to no risk of serious side effects that often occur with so many other professional skin care treatments. People with very sensitive or damaged skin may experience some redness, but it is usually temporary.
If there is one down side to having an oxygen facial it’s that that the effects do not last as long as other treatments. Another downside is that the results are not as immediately obvious because the treatment aims to help the skin rejuvenate itself, rather than create specific results. Also, the overuse of oxygen facial treatments may lead to the release of free radicals into the skin, which causes wrinkles, premature aging, and destroys skin cells, so it’s not advisable to overindulge.
