Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike other oxygen facials, which atomize or spray oxygen on the skin, the Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen System uses therapeutic oxygen under hyperbaric pressure to infuse a special serum of modified hyaluronic acid, essential vitamins, botanicals, antioxidants and amino peptides to the skin. Re-hydrated, plumped up skin in less than an hour will set this treatment apart from any other facial treatments.

What does Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen mean?

Hyperbaric simply means the therapeutic use of oxygen delivered at above normal pressure. AKA Concentrated Oxygen.

Why is oxygen used topically?

Oxygen is a natural bactericide (destroys anaerobic bacteria) and helps cool and calm the skin. We use oxygen under pressure to enhance the skins absorption of the Serum Infusions. Deeper infusion means rapid cell turnover and collagen production. It’s the skins greatest nourishment aside from the serums ingredients. Think about it we can live without food for weeks, water for a few day, but oxygen for only a few minutes.

What does Infusion mean?

 Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen, when applied directly to open skin is an innovative approach to healing difficult wounds and burns. Topical hyperbaric oxygen (oxygen under pressure) directs oxygen to the vital fluids at the surface and is used to reduce bacteria and to speed healing. Additionally, it draws or carries other active and beneficial skin specific ingredients such as vitamins, antioxidants, botanicals & amino peptides to the skin.

Which skin conditions benefit from O2 infused facials?

Infusions help increase the skin’s moisture levels and targets dry, dehydrated and prematurely aging skin, sensitive skin, sensitized skin, sun damage, brown spots, skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, post inflammatory pigmentation and problem prone skin conditions.

Can the Serum Infusion Treatment be used with other equipment?

Yes ! You may choose to use microdermabrasion or another physical exfoliation method prior to an infusion. Ultra-sonic cleansing with the Clarisonic Brush or other ultra-sound device may also be used prior to an Infusion.  Micro-Current may be performed after an Infusion and both appear to be greatly enhanced by an Infusion Treatment.  

Are there any contra-indications to an Infusion?

The modified Hyaluronic technology will enhance absorption of all ingredients applied to the skin before or after an infusion. For this reason – chemical peels should not be applied immediately before any infusions. Additionally, unpredictable ingredients such as Alpha Hydroxy-Acids, Retinols and Hydroquinone should not be applied immediately before or after an infusion. Ask your client to wait 24-48 hours before re-introducing AHA’s, Retinoic acid, or Hydroquinone to their home care regimen.

Is it proven safe?

Yes absolutely! Infusions can be used on sensitive, sensitized, and rosacea, and acne prone skin conditions. May also be recommended as a cooling calming treatment for post sun and wind exposed skin conditions. Plus post laser treatments and microdermabrasion.
