For those who are crazy about beauty tips, there is no end to facial treatments innovation. Just say the names: cleansing foam, exfoliating scrub, face mask, etc. Most beauty seekers, and probably even you, must have tried at least one of the mentioned name. There is no doubt that you would be even crazier if you know how those popular Hollywood stars maintain their glowing faces in each and every occasion.
What Is Oxygen Facial?
When the other beauty tips focus on bringing out beauty by layering your outer skin, oxygen facials start from totally different level. Using Airbrush gun as the main equipment and serum, the process itself will deliver charming and smooth skin on your face. What is more amazing about the facial is its flexibility. Instead of slipping more oxygen to your skin layers, the machine is also able to inject additional serum to help in vanishing your skin problem.
There will be no hand contact within the process. Yes, not even a nice refreshing massage. The staff will use high technology machine: small, but effective. It is the amazing duo of high tech and serum innovation.
How Are The Process?
Remember that the oxygen facials process found its base from cancer treatment. Therefore, you will enter some kind of medical settings instead of a spa-theme beauty shop. Inside the treatment room, the following procedures would be conducted.
- Cleaning and exfoliating your face.
- Analyzing the skin problems
- Choosing the suitable serums for your skin
- Spraying the serum all over your face
- Pushing the serum inside the skin with special machine
- Layering your face with topical cream or serum
- What Are The Available Serum?
You and the woman lying next to you during the treatment session might have different skin problems. Or possibly, you want a different result. Choose the right serum for your skin.
- Opulence – for making one tone skin.
- Rejuvenation – for hydrating skin and reducing the fine lines as well as wrinkles
- Atoxelene – for firmer expression lines, fuller lips and contouring eyes
- Clarity – for soothing acne and preventing it from appearing
Each of the serum is made from hyaluronic acid, botanical extract, vitamins, and antioxidant with different concentration.
The Benefits
Once you are done with the treatment, you could see instant result while looking at your own reflection in the mirror. In addition to the big transformation on your face, there are some other benefits that will make you happy.
- Trigger Collagen Production.By pushing the vitamin mixed in the serum using the special machine, your skin will produce its own collagen. In the next few days, you could expect chubbier and firmer skin.
- Purify The Skin. Being exposed to a free radical environment is not good for the skin. Blowing oxygen through it will satisfy the oxygen-hunger on your skin.
- Trigger New Cell Growth. If you do this treatment regularly, the cell on your skin face will produce a new cell. Not in a normal pace, but in a faster pace.
- Has No Side Effect. Good news for you who has sensitive skin. The facial will not cause any side effect such as stinging, burning, or redness.
How Much Does It Cost?
This kind of modern facial has temporary effect only. No wonder why some international top artists put this half to one-hour facial into the schedule. Many of them also prefer to buy the machine and install it on their private cars. Before you follow the footsteps of your idols, it is better to calculate the total cost you have to prepare.
For the treatment in the beauty shop, you will roughly pay around $150-$300 per visit, which equals to around $2000 per year. Not to mention, the time you need to invest for each treatment. Minimum half an hour is not some act you can commit in every lunch break. The good thing is your whole process will be conducted by the professionals’ hands.
Another option for busy persons is to buy the whole pack of the treatment, which cost you from $1.700 - $15.000 per pack. It gives you the airbrush-like machine, serum, and protocol video. Don’t forget about the one year warranty from the manufacturer. The only issue is the practitioner, which might not be able to perform the standard procedure.
Last resort for you is to buy the oxygen face therapy kit. It will cost you less, but never expect to get the special machine. A $14 kit will provide several packs of cream and serum. They claim to have a high concentration of oxygen, which will soothe and rejuvenate your skin as good as the facial treatment itself.
Does It Work?
As the product offers almost immediate result on the skins, many customers who are interested in this new method start to question its safety. First of all, no beauty expert has certified that any machine could deliver nutrients to deeper layer on the skin. The plump and chubby face, the experts claim, is the sign of light inflammation on skin instead of a perfectly nourished result.
Another thing you should consider is its crazily high cost. With its “high-tech” label machine, there is no way the shop could give you any cheaper price. It somehow gets, even more, validation when long lists of celebrities buy the machine or openly shares the amazing result of oxygen facial machine. The amount of money you spend is only equal to maximum one week Cinderella stage; does it worth it?
To add the worrisome lists, you might already know that oxygen could actually be the cause of free radical. As the result, pumping oxygen right into the skin might add more fine lines and wrinkles instead of eliminating them. It turns that this phenomenon lies within the blind spot of beautician and scientific research. This topic is still being a hot debate among beauticians.
The brands that provide oxygen therapy claim that there will be no side effects to the skin. But again, you must remember that this contemporary method has not yet received a nod from the beauty experts. If you really want to take your idol as a role, then be prepared to spend a certain amount of money for a week result. Probably it works best for the bride and groom to be and socialites only.
