Five Amazing Benefits of Oxygeneo Facials

In the world of skincare, treatments often fall into two camps: the relaxing, “fluff” facials that feel good but do little, and the intense, clinical treatments that work wonders but require downtime. For a long time, finding a middle ground—a treatment that offers significant, immediate results without pain or recovery time—was a challenge.

Then came the Oxygeneo facial.

Often dubbed the “3-in-1 Super Facial,” Oxygeneo has rapidly become a favorite for those seeking a red-carpet glow before a big event or simply wanting to maintain optimal skin health. It is not just a facial; it is a multi-step skin revitalization treatment that works from the inside out.

If you have been hearing the buzz and wondering if this treatment lives up to the hype, read on. Here is everything you need to know about the Oxygeneo facial and the five amazing benefits that make it a standout choice for skin rejuvenation.

What is an Oxygeneo Facial?

Before diving into the benefits, it is important to understand what makes this technology different. Unlike standard facials that apply products topically, Oxygeneo utilizes a patented technology known as the “Bohr Effect.”

The Bohr Effect is a physiological process where an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration on the skin’s surface triggers the body to release oxygen (O2) from within the blood cells to that specific area.

The treatment involves a specialized wand and a nutrient-rich capsule (called an Oxypod). When the wand glides over your skin, it reacts with the capsule and a treatment gel to create a CO2-rich environment on the surface. Your body responds by sending a surge of oxygen-rich blood to the skin cells. This internal oxygenation is what sets Oxygeneo apart from traditional oxygen facials, which merely spray oxygen on the outside of the skin.

Now, let’s explore why this process is so beneficial for your complexion.

1. Deep and Effective Exfoliation

The first step of the Oxygeneo process is exfoliation, but it is far more sophisticated than a simple scrub. The texture of the Oxypod capsule is slightly rough, similar to a microdermabrasion tip. As the aesthetician massages it over your face, it physically buffs away the top layer of dead skin cells.

Why this matters:
Dead skin cells are the primary culprit behind dullness, rough texture, and clogged pores. By removing this barrier, the treatment instantly reveals the fresh, younger skin underneath. This mechanical exfoliation also prepares the skin to receive active ingredients. Without this step, expensive serums often sit on top of dead skin rather than penetrating where they are needed most.

The result is skin that feels incredibly smooth to the touch—often described as “glass-like”—immediately after the session.

2. Oxygenation from Within

This is the “magic” step. As mentioned earlier, the reaction between the capsule and the gel creates bubbles of carbon dioxide that gently burst on the skin’s surface. Your body perceives this CO2 as a signal that the area needs oxygen.

Why this matters:
Oxygen is fuel for your cells. When your body sends a rush of oxygenated blood to the face, it increases cellular metabolism. This means your skin cells start working more efficiently to repair themselves, produce energy, and eliminate toxins.

Traditional facials can’t replicate this internal boost. By leveraging the body’s natural systems, Oxygeneo improves circulation and gives the skin a healthy, rosy vitality that lasts for days. It is the kind of “lit-from-within” glow that makeup simply cannot fake.

3. Superior Infusion of Nutrients

While the skin is being exfoliated and oxygenated, it is also in the perfect state to absorb nutrients. The Oxygeneo treatment uses specialized gels packed with active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants, and vitamins.

Why this matters:
Because the barrier of dead skin is gone and the blood flow is stimulated, these ingredients penetrate much deeper than they would during a standard application. This process is called “infusion.”

Depending on your skin concerns, your aesthetician can choose a specific protocol:

• Balance: Uses activated bamboo charcoal to purify pores and treat acne.
• Illuminate: Uses Vitamin C and Kojic Acid to brighten skin and fade dark spots.
• Revive: Uses Red Algae and Retinol to smooth fine lines and boost collagen.

This customization ensures that you aren’t just getting a generic facial, but a targeted treatment that addresses your specific skin needs.

4. Immediate Results with Zero Downtime

One of the biggest hurdles with clinical skincare is the recovery time. Chemical peels can leave you shedding for a week; lasers can cause redness and swelling. In our busy lives, we don’t always have time to hide away while our skin heals.

Why this matters:
Oxygeneo is the ultimate “lunchtime” procedure. The treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and there is absolutely no downtime. You won’t leave looking red or irritated. In fact, you will leave looking better than when you walked in.

Because the results are instant, it is the perfect treatment to schedule 1-2 days before a wedding, photoshoot, or special event. Your skin will look plump, hydrated, and radiant immediately, and makeup will apply flawlessly over the smooth surface.

5. Safe for All Skin Types and Tones

Many advanced skin treatments have limitations. Lasers can be risky for darker skin tones due to pigmentation concerns, and harsh peels can be too aggressive for sensitive skin.

Why this matters:
Oxygeneo is universally safe. Because it does not use heat, lasers, or harsh vacuum suction, it is suitable for all skin tones and types, including sensitive skin. Even those with keloid scarring (who can’t do microneedling) can safely enjoy an Oxygeneo facial.

It is a versatile, inclusive treatment that allows almost anyone to experience the benefits of advanced clinical skincare without the associated risks.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

If you decide to book an Oxygeneo facial at Studio 16, here is a glimpse of the experience:

1. Cleansing: We start with a gentle cleanse to remove surface makeup and impurities.
2. The 3-in-1 Step: Your aesthetician will apply the nutrient-rich gel and use the handheld device with the Oxypod capsule. You will feel a slightly scratchy sensation (the exfoliation) and a warm, tingling feeling as the oxygenation process begins. It is generally very comfortable.
3. Ultrasound Infusion (Optional Add-on): Many treatments include an ultrasound step that uses low-intensity sound waves to push nutrients even deeper into the skin.
4. Massage and Mask: The treatment typically concludes with a relaxing facial massage to further boost circulation and drain lymphatic fluids, followed by a soothing mask to lock in hydration.
