Ever notice how your face feels dull and tired after a long flight or a busy week? That’s your skin crying out for oxygen. Now, you can breathe new life into your skin with Massage Envy’s Oxygenating Treatment.
The Oxygenating Treatment is perfect for getting your glow on before a big event or as a refreshing part of your regular skincare routine. And that’s just the beginning, as we’ll explore with Massage Envy franchising employee and skin care specialist, Adrianne Lackey.
What is the Oxygenating Treatment?
The Oxygenating Treatment is a facial treatment that delivers a fresh boost directly to your skin cells, promoting renewal and radiance. The treatment uses a device to blow streams of pure oxygen at the skin, where it can be absorbed by the dermis and epidermis.[1]
Oxygenation is accompanied by a special trio of antioxidant-rich and detoxifying products from PCA Skin®, including a Vitamin-B rich formula.
The benefits of oxygenation
Oxygenation supports the body’s healing processes, and may be especially helpful in reducing skin irritations like acne. Beyond its anti-inflammatory potential, oxygenation may also have an antibacterial effect[2] through the release of reactive oxygen species that kill the bacteria that are behind persistent skin irritations like acne.
The B3 vitamin has also increasingly been shown to help improve the skin’s protective barrier, and vitamin B3 irregularities have been linked to skin conditions[3]. Vitamin B3 is also shown to help diminish dark spots[4], as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Says Adrianne, “The great thing about the Oxygenating Treatment is that it’s appropriate for all skin types! If your skin has been looking dull or lack-luster, and feels like you need a good refresh, this is the service for you.”
Other benefits of oxygenation include its ability to help:
- Revive tired, dull skin
- Moisturize
- Improve glow
- Promote better circulation
What to expect during your Oxygenating Treatment
At a Massage Envy franchised location, your Oxygenating Treatment will be a three-part experience. The treatment will take 60 minutes, with 50 minutes of hands-on time.
- First, you will experience steam during a double cleanse, an exfoliating mask with a relaxing hand and arm massage, and extractions (if needed).
- In the next stage, a series of PCA SKIN corrective products are applied, including the Oxygenating Trio and an additional enzymatic exfoliation (including the Activator, the Detoxifier, and the Oxygenator) which helps to lift impurities from the skin.
- Finally, the treatment finishes with an application of a moisturizer, SPF, and lip product.
What happens after the Oxygenating Treatment?
Notes Adrianne, “During the treatment you may experience a slight flushing of the skin, but afterward, expect radiant, glowing skin!” After oxygenating therapy, you may also notice that your skin appears hydrated, and the increased blood circulation may lead to a more subdued appearance of your fine lines and wrinkles[5]. Lock in that moisture with a little at-home care, and your glow may last as long as a week.
