An Oxygen Facial is a skincare treatment that involves the application of pressurized oxygen to the skin along with a serum containing various active ingredients. This facial is designed to hydrate, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin, and it is often promoted for its purported ability to deliver nutrients and enhance overall skin health.
This procedure is non-invasive and doesn’t involve harsh exfoliation; individuals can typically resume their regular activities immediately after the facial. It’s important to note that while many people enjoy the refreshing and hydrating effects of Oxygen Facials, scientific evidence supporting specific long-term benefits is limited. Results may vary among individuals, and the efficacy of the treatment can depend on various factors, including individual skin types and the specific formulations used during the facial. Consulting with a licensed skincare professional can help determine whether an Oxygen Facial is suitable for your skin and address your specific skincare concerns.

Avoid Sun: Avoid sunburn, tanning beds, or prolonged sun exposure leading up to your session.
Disclose Conditions: Inform your esthetician of active breakouts, sensitivities, or recent skin procedures.
Be Gentle: Use gentle, fragrance-free products to care for your newly hydrated skin.
Pause Actives: Do not use exfoliants, strong acids, or retinoids for 3–5 days.
Avoid Heat: Skip saunas, steam rooms, heavy sweating, and long hot showers for 24–48 hours.

The primary benefits of an Oxygen Facial include intense hydration, improved skin radiance, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, and a smoother, healthier skin texture. It is excellent for “plumping” the skin and giving it an immediate glow.
While you will see a subtle glow after just one Oxygen Facial, regular treatments are recommended to maintain long-term hydration and skin health. During your consultation, we can help determine a schedule that fits your specific skin goals.
You can book an Oxygen Facial at any of our You Glow Aesthetics locations, including Vancouver, Red Deer, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Tampa. Click our “Book Now” button to schedule your free consultation!
The treatment is relatively quick and efficient, usually lasting about 30 to 60 minutes. Because an Oxygen Facial requires no recovery time, it is the perfect “lunchtime” facial.
