Oxygen Treatments for the Skin


Did you know that doctors and burn clinics use oxygen right out of the tank to blow directly on the skin to help in wound healing?
In the last decade, more and more doctors and skincare professionals (Estheticians) have been using oxygen tanks in their practices and spas to help with acne, anti-aging, add-on treatments, or to aid in healing from laser treatments, resurfacing treatments and/or chemical peels.
I have experienced getting oxygen "blasts" and giving these oxygen facials and add-ons.  "WONDERFUL!"  I definitely recommend it!  Wonderful for the skin.  I absolutely love the results and the way it feels on the skin.  You can receive it alone or also use liquid vitamins to mix in with the oxygen being blasted onto your skin to add even more benefit.  This past week I received microdermabrasion first, then the oxygen treatment after.  This makes perfect sense because you want your skin to be "buffed" or exfoliated first before using anything wonderful like vitamins or oxygen.  The exfoliation first, will allow a much better penetration of something like vitamins or oxygen.  Just the same if you were getting a chemical peel done,  you would want that done prior to any masque, vitamins, oxygen treatment.  Chemical peels are exfoliation too.  Microdermabrasion is manual exfoliation(better for dryer skins) and chemical peels are chemical exfoliation(better for acne).
Any questions about this, feel free and ask!  I love it!
