Firstly, What is Oxygen Facial?

Oxygen facial is a ‘nonmedical’ facial procedure that is designed to nourish your skin and promote new collagen growth. Just like how our body needs oxygen to thrive, our skin too needs oxygen to look brighter and healthier. Oxygen facial involves a machine that is used for spraying highly concentrated molecules of oxygen right into your epidermis (the outer layer of your skin) to give you a  smoother and plumper skin. These oxygen molecules are jam-packed with essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients to give your skin a wonderfully relaxed and rejuvenated feel. 

How Does Oxygen Facial Works?

Well, every spa and aesthetic clinic has its own process of conducting an oxygen facial. But below are the standard three procedures to carry out an oxygen facial.

1. The Light Treatment

The treatments start by a facial cleansing, this is to exfoliate all the dirt, oil and residue on your face. Then a ‘magical’ wand (light emanating from a stick-like machine)  is used to infuse pressurised oxygen into your skin. This stick-like machine is then rotated all over your face to smoothen and calm your skin.

2. The Serum Treatment

The next step is applying a  hyaluronic acid serum with the wand after the oxygen portion of the facial. This is the most probably the most crucial step in the entire process. Because serum, in general, is rich in active ingredients such as acid, minerals, vitamins, and loads of antioxidants. It’ll help tighten your skin and make it look more radiant. Plus, the serum can also eliminate any wrinkles and fine lines on your face!

3. The Massage Treatment

This is the final step of the treatment. Using, oxygen-infused lotion and cream your skin will be massaged. This will further nourish and smoothen your skin. It will also help seal in the serum so that the effects of the treatment last longer.

What Are The Benefits of Oxygen Facial? 

Our cells need oxygen to stay healthy and nourished. The oxygen facial delivers oxygen to the deepest layers of your skin and makes it glow. Hence, the benefits of oxygen facials are abundant. Below, we have listed some of its major benefits. 

1. Promotes Collagen Production

Collagen is the protein that makes the cells stick together. It improves the strength and elasticity to your skin. However, collagen tends to weaken with age hence, wrinkles and spots appear. This is when oxygen facial helps big time as it gives a big boost to collagen production making the skin firmer. 

2. Improve Blood Circulation

Oxygen facials can improve the blood circulation to your face because with more oxygen molecules better circulation. An improved blood circulation means your skin will look brighter and plumper. Plus, an oxygen facial also delivers a large number of essential vitamins and botanical ingredients to your skin that can result in bright, glowing skin.

3. Keep The Skin Hydrated 

Oxygen helps infuse the hydrating serums into the skin. Plus, it can also deeply moisturize your skin and help restore your skin’s pH balance, When the skin Ph value is balanced, automatically your skin will look and feel hydrated, especially if hyaluronic acid is a component.

4. Calm and Heal Acne

Acne is formed when the skin cells are clogged with dirt and oils, causing the pores to get enlarged. Oxygen is known to accelerate wound healing and can even kill certain bacteria. So, oxygen facials can help in shrinking the pores and also prevent your skin from accumulating the dust and dirt. As a result, it remains glowing for longer, and you won’t get those annoying pimples, zits, and acne.

5. Adds More Radiance

Oxygen facial can remove all impurities from the epidermis (top layer of the skin) and boost the oxygen content. So, by removing the dead and dull cells from the top layer of our skin, it can bring out that natural blush on your cheeks.

How Much Does an Oxygen Facial Cost in Malaysia?

An oxygen facial in Malaysia can cost anywhere from RM150  to RM600 per session. The prices may vary depending on the spa or clinic so it is best to contact them directly to get the current prices. Though it is possible to purchase an oxygen facial kit to use on yourself at home which is a cheaper alternative to professional spa treatments. 

However, we advise you to go to the professionals as it generally provides better results as professional staff often specialize in oxygen facials and they usually have the best oxygen facial machines. The at-home oxygen facial kits can cost anywhere between RM600- RM1500 but for those who are willing to invest the money, it should be cheaper in the long run.

What Are the Side Effects of Oxygen Facial?

One of the main highlights of an oxygen facial is that it is exceptionally gentle on your skin! It doesn’t cause any side effects, such as irritation, redness, swelling, stinging, and a burning sensation. It is suitable for people who have sensitive skin and those who want to avoid chemical beauty treatments as it uses all botanical active ingredients. To add to that, oxygen facial has zero downtime! You can go back to your regular skincare regimen almost immediately.

Despite that, if it better to take safety precaution so here are some of the potential side effects of oxygen facials: 

• Temporary skin redness which should fade within a few hours of the procedure.
• Puffiness or facial swelling from the intense blasts of oxygen to the face
• Allergic reaction to the ingredients of the serum 

Most of these symptoms are temporary and will disappear within hours, However, if conditions persist do seek back your doctor immediately. Also, it is best to tell your aesthetician your allergies details to avoid any unwanted reactions from occurring. Discontinue use of any products that cause itching, swelling, pain, or prolonged redness.
