Oxygen is key to your biology, an agent that produces energy in a process known as cellular respiration. Normally, oxygen enters a cell from the blood supply and mixes with other cells that provide the fuel that mixes with oxygen to create energy.
If it sounds like the process of an internal combustion engine, well, the analogy is apt. Just as oxygen feeds combustion, it also feeds metabolic function, growth, and reproduction.
It makes sense that adding oxygen to various body tissues might improve efficiency and performance. That’s the theory behind Intraceuticals Oxygen Facials, a non-invasive skin regeneration treatment that creates a healthy and vibrant glow while promoting collagen production and speeding cell turnover in a simple non-invasive session that requires no recovery time.
It’s a therapy that works well with other treatments offered by dermatologist Jennifer Baron, MD, and her team in San Jose, California. Ask us about the unique benefits generated by an oxygen facial session.
Every oxygen facial session starts with cleansing and exfoliation. Instead of through the bloodstream, oxygen arrives in the form of pressurized oxygen applied with a wand, so clean skin and open pores accelerate the process.
A session takes 30 to 60 minutes, and you can schedule anytime. There’s no need for recovery after your appointment. Optimal results take about 48 hours to emerge, when you begin to enjoy a wide range of skin improvements.
One of the biggest natural challenges of aging is overcoming the loss of collagen, the body’s most abundant protein, and the source of nutrition and volume for your skin. An oxygen facial is an excellent way to support the development of new collagen, a goal of many of our skin treatments.
As well as collagen support, an oxygen facial can also:
Combining an oxygen facial, custom-selected nutrients and serums, including Dr. Baron’s own skincare products, extends the benefits of your facial into a personalized skin treatment plan.
Another huge benefit of oxygen facials is their gentle nature. Many collagen induction therapies use controlled skin damage as the catalyst for new tissue development.
While this approach works, and certain therapies produce dramatic results, a successful treatment requires an investment in recovery time and skin care. An oxygen facial produces growth without damage.
Oxygen facials are suitable for every age and skin type. Call or visit Dr. Baron’s office online to schedule your personal consultation today.
