Oxygen Facials: Latest Therapy for Beauty

Your Skin Needs Oxygen Too

Azam Yazid
Although genetics is the primary cause of aging skin, other factors - oxygen, nutrients and water, etc - are also vital for stimulating skin-cell reproduction every 28 days. The skin is the largest organ in the body, but it is also the last to receive oxygen. As we age, the circulation of oxygen in our blood vessels is reduced and may not be delivered in sufficient volume to skin cells.

Over-exposure to sunlight, pollutants, a poor diet and low oxygen levels can all cause premature skin ageing. The result is wrinkle, freckled, pigmented and dehydrated skin, with uneven tone and colour. Besides cell reproduction, oxygen also helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity. For years now, dermatologists have recognized the regenerative and anti-inflammatory benefits of oxygen, which promotes the healing of burns and wounds, and prevents acne.

The presence of oxygen in skin declines 50% by the time you reach 50, so supplementing facial skin with oxygen and essential nutrients can delay the process of ageing.

Perfluorodecalin is a superior artificial oxygen carrier that mimics the blood's ability to carry oxygen to skin cells. Perfluorodecalin has high oxygen dissolving capacity, low toxicity, and short retention time. When it is applied to your skin, it penetrates the deepest levels of your skin and instantly replenishes it with oxygen.

Regular oxygenation treatment helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and increases the skin's moisture content to give you a radiant and younger appearance. The provision of essential nutrients and oxygenation to your skin also resurface, detoxify and stimulate skin micro-circulation. When dead skin cells are removed, new skin cells are generated that will give your skin a more balanced texture, coupled with a smoother, softer and firmer appearance.

Oxygenation of your skin is completely safe, does not interfere with normal skin functions and is effective for all skin types.
