Frequently Asked Questions
What is the OxyGeneo Technology?
OxyGeneo is an innovative technology for skin exfoliation (removal of dead skin cells from the skin surface), improving skin oxygen levels and infusion of valuable products to enrich the skin. The simultaneous skin exfoliation along with skin oxygenation optimizes the absorption of the valuable components in the nutrient-rich gels into the skin.
How does the OxyGeneo oxygenate my skin?
OxyGeneo capitalizes on the Bohr Effect that was discovered by Christian Bohr in 1904. The effect indicates that when the CO2 (Carbon dioxide) concentration increases, the hemoglobin releases oxygen from within. The OxyGeneo interaction between the capsule and the treatment gel creates abundance of CO2 on the skin that triggers the Bohr Effect that oxygenate the skin naturally. Oxygenating the skin is beneficial in all anti-aging and corrective skin procedures.
How does the OxyGeneo feel?
An OxyGeneo treatment feels like a massage for the face. The exfoliation is described as very refreshing and comfortable and, because there is no vacuum procedure (like with other facial devices) the overall treatment is more soothing and relaxing. Many clients fall asleep and wake feeling rested and rejuvenated. More sensitive skin type clients may have a warm sensation on the skin during the first part of the treatment.
Can I have an OxyGeneo treatment if I have acne?
Yes. Because the exfoliation isn’t irritating and because the OxyGeneo is a non-vacuum device, you can treat areas of the face affected by simple acne. Consult with your OxyGeneo technician about your specific skin concerns.
What should I expect to see and feel after OxyGeneo treatment?
After the OxyGeneo treatment the skin is rich with oxygen and nutrients of the jells, it will look smooth, soft, shiny and radiant. The skin feels fresh, soft and active.
How frequent can I have OxyGeneo treatment
To treat skin issues such as sun damage or acne, once a week treatments are recommended. Scheduling an OxyGeneo treatment once a month to treat the skin is the perfect long term anti-aging maintenance program. Your skin care specialist will set you up with a schedule that best suits your needs.
Can I have an OxyGeneo treatment to look better before an event?
On average, yes! The OxyGeneo treatment has no downtime and the skin looks and feels great right after the treatment. If you have an upcoming event, schedule your OxyGeneo treatment on the same day or a day before and the effect will be well visible during the event. However, if you are a prone to breakout or typically react from facial treatments, we would recommend doing the treatment a week before.
What is better for me, the NeoBright™ or NeoRevive™?
This depends on your skin type and skin condition. Your practitioner will recommend the best jell for you. If you have pigmented lesion (dark spots) or dark skin, most probably the NeoBright™ will be the right choice for you. If you want to improve the overall appearance of the skin and reduce pores, the NeoRevive™ could be better and/or combination of the two. Again, your best resource is your professional practitioner that was well trained to use the Geneo.
