Do Oxygen Facials Work?

February 3, 2017

Oxygen facials are only one of many treatments you can choose for a younger, healthier looking face. With so many options making so many different claims, it can be difficult to know fact from fiction, and marketing hype can distract from what really works. Oxygen facials are one thing that are worth the hype.

Treatment Option Overview

Each treatment option for oxygen facials consists of serum that blends hyaluronic acid, botanical extracts, antioxidants, peptides and vitamins.  These ingredients enhance your skin, and can even help with different skin problems.  The key component, hyaluronic acid, a molecule contained in our skin, captures moisture and holds it naturally.  This ultimately improves your skin by keeping it well hydrated, and hydrated skin equals healthy skin.

 

What are Oxygen Facials Used For?

Wrinkles and Fine Lines

This style of facial is considered an advanced skincare procedure due to the use of hyaluronic acid.  Many celebrities use oxygen facials to achieve a more youthful look and enhance their skin overall.  Oxygen facials include many different treatment varieties, some of which can reduce wrinkles and fine lines in the skin, in addition to hydrating it.

Improved Skin Tone

There is also an option that offers an improved skin tone, giving you brighter, glowing skin that enhances your appearance.  Another available treatment option can reduce acne and restore the skin’s natural moisture, thereby preventing future breakouts.

Softening Expression Lines

Yet another treatment, called Atoxelene, aids in softening the main expression lines in the face, defines eye contour, along with enlarging lip size.

What Skin Conditions Does Oxygen Treatment Help?

Acne

Oxygen facials are helpful to those who suffer from severe acne and are looking to improving their complexion.  Oxygen facials can reduce and eventually eliminate the bacteria in the skin that cause acne, and may also prevent it from developing in the future.   They can benefit those with acne, making their skin clearer and more youthful.

Inflammation

Those who suffer from skin inflammation on their face may benefit from oxygen facials, as they can rejuvenate and heal the inflamed tissue.  They can change the complexion, making it look clearer and reducing redness.  Those with sensitive skin can benefit from an oxygen facial, as they won’t have to worry about further damage to their face.

Wrinkles

Oxygen facials hydrate the skin, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They can also decrease puffiness, which can dramatically reduce the intensity of facial wrinkles.

Are Oxygen Facials Worth the Money?

While there are many benefits, there are also some downsides worth considering.

Drawbacks

One drawback is that the procedure is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.  Also, that the effects are temporary.  Results often hold for a week or two.

Benefits

In addition to beautifully toned and unwrinkled skin, this amazing facial also has minimal downtime.  The after effects are not painful or irritating to the face.  The skin feels fresh and rejuvenated after the procedure, leaving you with no discomfort.
