Have you ever wondered how celebrities seem to achieve glowing, refreshed skin just before a major event? One treatment often credited for that smooth, hydrated look is the oxygen facial. This popular noninvasive service delivers moisture and nutrients to the skin while improving overall tone and texture.
At Ohio Clinic for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, patients receive oxygen facials under the guidance of Michael H. Wojtanowski, MD, FACS, a highly respected, board-certified plastic surgeon. He and his team are committed to providing both surgical and non-surgical solutions that support healthy, beautiful skin.
What Is an Oxygen Facial?
An oxygen facial involves using pressurized oxygen to deliver nourishing serums deep into the skin. These serums typically contain ingredients such as:
- Hyaluronic acid for hydration
- Vitamins and antioxidants for brightness and anti-aging benefits
- Peptides that boost skin health
The oxygen helps these ingredients absorb more efficiently while also stimulating circulation. The result is skin that often appears brighter and more hydrated.
Unlike more intensive procedures, oxygen facials are gentle and require little to no downtime.
How Does an Oxygen Facial Work?
During an oxygen facial, a specialized device sprays a stream of highly concentrated oxygen combined with customized serums onto the skin. The process usually follows a few simple steps:
- Cleansing: A provider cleanses the skin to remove makeup, oil, and debris.
- Exfoliation: They perform light exfoliation to prepare the skin.
- Oxygen infusion: Pressurized oxygen delivers nutrient-rich serums into the skin.
- Moisturizing and protection: A moisturizer and sunscreen are often applied afterward.
The treatment generally takes around 30 to 60 minutes.
Potential Benefits of Oxygen Facials
Many people choose oxygen facials because they can address common skin concerns, including:
- Dry skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Dull complexion
- Fine lines and mild signs of aging
- Temporary puffiness or redness
Because the service is noninvasive, it’s often chosen before special events when people want their skin to appear refreshed quickly.
