What does oxygen infusion consist of?

Oxygen infusion is performed using hyperbaric oxygen. It is a method of skin rejuvenation that involves injecting concentrated ingredients and active substances into the deep layers of the skin.

Oxygen infusion is combined with the use of a variety of ampoules - preparations containing pure substances or cocktails - such as acid and other ingredients. Concentrated doses of active substances fill deficiencies in the skin. As a result, it regains a youthful glow and a beautiful, healthy appearance.

Hyperbaric oxygen is the base of the treatment and its task is to stimulate cell metabolism and transport concentrated active substances, such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants, extracts, vitamins and minerals deep into the skin.

Hyaluronic acid acts as a cement that fills the intercellular spaces, has natural gelling properties (one molecule binds 250 water molecules) and is responsible for deep skin hydration, increasing its density and elasticity. It occurs in exactly the same form in all organisms.

Hyaluronic acid is easy to obtain, so it is often used in cosmetics, aesthetic medicine and eliminates the occurrence of rejection reactions. This treatment is especially for people with hypoxic skin, which can be caused primarily by lack of physical activity, living under stress, poor diet, overweight and obesity, unhealthy lifestyle or polluted environment.

It's also worth repeating the oxygen infusion treatment to amplify its results and positive effects on the appearance and condition of the skin. Oxygen infusion equipment on the market is equipped with oxygen cylinders or a device that draws air from the environment. The air is purified through a molecular sieve, which traps the gases, in order to obtain the oxygen molecules needed for the treatment.

The resulting oxygen is compressed to the appropriate pressure, and then applied to the skin using a special applicator made of surgical steel - an infuser with a container for a serum or ampoule. In the case of application of a given preparation, oxygen is used as a carrier of active substances, because it increases permeability through the skin - so the substances penetrate deeper into its deep layers.

Before performing the treatment, the cosmetologist performs makeup removal and skin peeling, then selects the appropriate ampoule - tailored with ingredients to the client's skin needs. The ampoule is applied using oxygen infusion. This is a very pleasant procedure, which involves the injection of active substances using oxygen.

After the service, there is no skin irritation, and you can immediately return to daily activities. It is a proposal , non-invasive and completely painless.
