One of the most effective methods of cleansing that does not injure the dermis is oxygen peeling.
Before peeling, it is recommended to study the processing technology and indications for using this technique, as well as read reviews from experts about the benefits of oxygen peeling, and the opinions of people who have experienced the effects of exfoliation first-hand.
general description
Oxygen facial peeling is a non-contact treatment in which the skin is exposed to a special device. Under a certain pressure, the device sprays dispersed oxygen along with saline solution.
The absence of direct contact with the surface being treated completely eliminates the possibility of injury.
The flow of the gas-liquid mixture not only gets rid of the stratum corneum of the epidermis, but also massages the skin, improves blood circulation, moisturizes, and also saturates cells with vitamins and nutrients.
For more effective action, various microelements and specially selected formulations with hyaluronic and azelaic acid can be added.
Oxygen peeling for facial skin
Oxygen cleansing is one of the types of non-invasive facial skin care. Peeling is performed with an airbrush - this device sprays oxygen over the epidermis under high pressure. The technique allows:
- cleanse pores of impurities and narrow them;
- remove the keratinized cell layer;
- normalize water balance;
- saturate the dermis with nutrients;
- eliminate swelling;
- increase the elasticity of the dermis.
Oxygen exfoliation is indicated in the case of:
- peeling of the epidermis;
- hyperpigmentation;
- the presence of facial wrinkles, acne and pimples;
- excessive production of subcutaneous sebum.
Adding fortified components to oxygen helps maintain the healthy appearance of the skin for a long period.
Indications for use
Gas-liquid peeling solves many external cosmetic problems.
If you have dry and flaky skin, the procedure helps saturate it with sufficient moisture and improves color.
If the epidermis is oily, then exposure to oxygen will smooth the surface and eliminate roughness.
This cleaning is necessary if there are:
- shallow and age-related pigmentation;
- expression wrinkles;
- double chin;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- swelling and loss of contour;
- consequences of acne (spots, marks);
- decreased skin tone;
- uneven unhealthy complexion;
- “bruises” and “bags” under the eyes.
Peeling will also get rid of freckles, but the effect will be temporary. After all, the problem is genetic in nature and complete removal is only possible with the help of deep chemical or laser cleaning.
What's the point
Have you probably noticed that in the fresh air (of course, at a comfortable temperature and good weather conditions) your skin becomes simply radiant?
This is not surprising - our body, which almost everyone spends most of the day in closed (and sometimes dusty) rooms, finally receives an additional flow of oxygen. And the cells literally come to life! Actually, this is the essence of the procedure - to nourish them with an irreplaceable element, which is the basis of oxidative processes, without which life is simply impossible.
This is done by applying a stream of compressed oxygen to the face. And to enhance its effectiveness, a cocktail of vitamins, amino acids and/or other substances beneficial to the skin is mixed into it.
Efficiency
The procedure has massaging, transdermal and exfoliating properties.
It eliminates puffiness and swelling of the face, removes facial wrinkles and increases the elasticity of the dermis. The result will be a tightened contour and natural skin color.
The combined technique enhances the efficiency of the process.
Cosmetic centers and beauty salons offer different care options:
- Peeling and cleansing mask. In addition to oxygen and saline, microgranules with useful substances are used, which are absorbed into the cells as quickly as possible.
- Triple complex: oxygen, purification, nutrition. This option moisturizes and tones the dermis, making it smooth and elastic.
- Peeling and nutritional components. Additional medications help achieve maximum results. The most commonly used are azelaic, hyaluronic and kojiic acids, caffeine and vitamin complexes.
The result after gas-liquid cleaning has an accumulative property. A larger number of procedures guarantees a lasting positive effect.
How is hydroxy treatment performed?
The session is carried out at any time convenient for the client without prior preparation or anesthesia. First, the doctor carefully examines the skin and selects the necessary medications. Then the algorithm of actions is as follows:
- Remnants of sebum and makeup are carefully removed from the face;
- Peeling is carried out with fruit acids;
- The alkaline balance of the skin is restored;
- If necessary, additional cleansing is performed;
- An individual nutritional cocktail is applied to the epidermis;
- The epithelium is treated with oxygen under pressure;
- Recommendations for home care procedures are offered.

Answers on questions
Is it possible to use the procedure immediately after visiting a seaside resort?
On the one hand, acclimatization and restructuring of the body from rest to everyday work is an undoubted stress factor. On the other hand, staying at southern resorts, oddly enough, increases skin pollution - this is an increase in the production of sebaceous glands in the heat, dust getting into the ducts, and the influence of acclimatization. Cleaning is undoubtedly necessary, but it is better to do it 3-4 days after arrival.
Is it possible to combine regular scrub and oxygen peeling?
This is not worth doing, since oxygen peeling does a much better job of cleaning the skin layers than a scrub. The latter, moreover, can damage the epidermis.
Can oxygen peeling be used for children?
No. Children's skin does an excellent job of cleaning itself. In addition, nutritional components that are beneficial for rough adult skin can have a detrimental effect on the condition of children's skin.
What equipment is used to perform
Manufacturers offer various devices for oxygen peeling, differing in functional features and technical characteristics.
There are single-function devices that are designed exclusively for this procedure, as well as complex options that solve different problems.
Multifunctional equipment combines techniques that effectively complement each other and maximize the result.
Device overview
Jet Peel, developed by the Israeli company TavTech Ltd, is considered the best.
The model has a narrow nozzle through which the therapeutic mixture is supplied at a speed of 250-300 m/s and a pressure of 8 atmospheres.
The quality of the procedure depends on the distance between the treated area and the device.
- If the nozzle is moved 2 cm further from the skin, it will undergo a massage, stimulation of regenerative processes and the production of hyaluronic acid will begin.
- With the removal of equipment by 5-7 cm, active exfoliation of the epidermis occurs. The price of such a device starts from 200 thousand rubles.
The products of the American brand Zemits have proven themselves well:
- Zemits Hydroluxx (90 thousand rubles);
- Plus Zemits Leon (75 thousand rubles).
Complex models are distinguished by wide functionality and impeccable quality, but their price is quite high:
- OxyMesoPeel (212 thousand rubles);
- Power Peel (RUB 210 thousand);
- PowerPeel ES-921 N (RUB 219 thousand);
- Oxygen Jet MED-390 (250 thousand rubles).
Contraindications
Usually there is a long list of contraindications for any hardware procedure. But not this one. Moreover, great news for expectant mothers - this technique is allowed for them and is very useful. The only limitation is that for pregnant and lactating women, you must especially carefully choose a meso-cocktail or use pure oxygen.
But the procedure cannot be performed if the integrity of the skin is compromised or if there are serious dermatological problems:
- eczema;
- ulcers;
- inflamed acne;
- erosions and ulcers;
- aggravated dermatitis;
- fungal diseases.
It is not recommended for severe peeling of the skin. In this case, it must first be eliminated by other methods.
Peeling
Peeling involves standard preparatory procedures. These include complete superficial cleansing of cosmetics and natural impurities and degreasing with tonic.
Further actions of the cosmetologist are as follows:
- skin disinfection using cosmetic serum;
- applying the peeling solution to the desired area;
- surface treatment with an oxygen jet directed along massage lines.
Of no small importance is the serum used, which is selected according to the individual characteristics of the patient. The most commonly used mixtures are:
- With ascorbic or kojiic acid, vitamins A, E. These components narrow pores, relieve puffiness, smooth out fine wrinkles, reduce pigmentation and activate the regenerative function of tissues.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
Kojikovic acid serves as a powerful biochemical bleaching agent. Destroys melanin-tyrosinase, which promotes the deposition of melanin, consequently, the formation of age spots.
- With azelaic acid. The serum is chosen for problematic acne-prone skin. Azelaine helps improve complexion and lighten it, as it acts on the biochemical processes that synthesize the melanin pigment. Relieves inflammation, normalizes pore function and tightens the upper epidermis.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
Azelaic acid is an official pharmacological agent that acts directly on pathogens that provoke the formation of acne. In addition, it stops the keratinization of epithelial skin cells.
- With hyaluronic acid. The choice in favor of this complex is obvious if the dermis is dry and sensitive. Thanks to its ability to penetrate deep layers, hyaluronic acid retains moisture and restores damaged structure.
- With ceramides. The serum is indispensable for aging and dry skin, when increased nutrition is needed. Replenishes lipid balance, preventing aging.
Course duration
Long-lasting and lasting results require a course of procedures.
After several sessions, the result may be insignificant, since oxygen cleansing works according to a cumulative scheme.
A noticeable visual effect should be expected after 3-5 manipulations.
To achieve maximum transformation, 10-12 visits are required. You can clean it once a week. The session duration is usually 30-60 minutes.
Healing period
After cleaning with oxygen, there is no recovery period, since the removal of the top layer of the epidermis is carried out in a delicate way.
The event does not require special conditions or restrictions. The only recommendation is to use sunscreen.
The procedure is absolutely safe and can be combined with microdermabrasion, chemical peels, oxygen mesotherapy, electroporation, RF lifting, phonophoresis and electric currents.
Skin care after all-season facial peeling procedure
To get the maximum effect from peeling, you must follow the recommendations for further skin care:
- do not peel off flaky crusts;
- for morning and evening washing, you should use moisturizing foams that have neutral acidity (in the case of medium or deep cleansing, washing is allowed only on the third day);
- Do not rub your face after water procedures - only gently blot with a rough towel;
- You must definitely use face creams with panthenol, retinol, lanolin;
- the body needs more rest, you should walk in the fresh air more often, not forgetting to protect the skin from dust, hypothermia and exposure to the sun (before going outside, the skin must be treated with a product with a protection factor (SPF) of at least 35);
- It is better to refrain from going to the sauna and solarium;
- You should at least temporarily exclude alcohol and spicy foods from your diet.
Remember: decorative cosmetics can only be used a week after peeling, not earlier!
Judging by the responses, many patients do not have a clear idea of what all-season facial peeling is. It is a very common belief that this is a single procedure. In reality, we are talking about a variety of exfoliation methods that can be used even when it is sunny and hot outside. It is better to choose the best option for yourself with the help of a qualified cosmetologist.
In order for the results of all-season peeling to be pleasing, it is important to constantly protect the skin from sun rays with special cosmetics with SPF 30 or more (for 3-4 weeks after the procedure), not to sunbathe during the period of maximum sun activity, as well as in a solarium, and to avoid burning. All sunscreens and sprays must be applied to the skin several times during the day, because even waterproof products are gradually washed off.

Contraindications to skin cleansing with oxygen
Every woman wants to be the most beautiful and desirable on earth. Many are ready to give all their money and undergo any painful procedures for this. "Beauty requires sacrifice!" - says popular wisdom, but these sacrifices do not always lead to achieving the desired result, and sometimes even have a completely opposite effect.
Are there any contraindications to oxygen peeling? Unfortunately yes! As with any other procedure.
- Allergy to both the main substance of the drug and additional substances.
- Some diseases of the cardiovascular system. The procedure is based on stimulating blood circulation in order to create additional blood and lymph flow to certain areas of the skin, and, therefore, provides additional stress on the cardiovascular system. Before deciding to undergo it, you must consult a medical specialist.
- Oncological diseases. This is an absolute contraindication, which applies even to the disease in remission. Peeling improves the metabolic processes of the skin and can help revive the oncological process.
- Peeling should not be performed on people who have unhealed chemical burns on the face, since the interaction between the cosmetic composition and the substance that caused the burn is unknown. As a rule, residues of such chemicals remain on the skin for some time in a deactivated state.
- It is forbidden to peel on the face with open wounds - some components of the composition can cause additional corrosion of already damaged tissues.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding. During this period, the skin, like the entire body, bears a significant load, and additional factors can negatively affect the process of gestation and the health of the baby.
Patient reviews of oxygen peeling
Oksana, 31 years old, Moscow:
I recommend to all! Unless of course there are absolutely, absolutely contraindications. The skin looks 4-5 years younger, feels pleasant to the touch, even old acne marks have disappeared.
Luda, 38 years old, Barnaul:
I struggled with enlarged pores for a long time - dirt kept getting clogged up in them and my skin looked untidy, and in addition there were constant pimples and various spots. I tried oxygen cleansing - so far I’m absolutely delighted. I will maintain the effect at home!
Savely, 34 years old, St. Petersburg:
O2 peeling is good not only for the fairer sex - I struggled with acne for a long time, my appearance was not so great, and I am a serious manager. On the advice of my wife, I went for the procedure - the current state of my skin brought only positive emotions.
Photos before and after
Is the procedure carried out at home?
You can do oxygen peeling at home, but you should not expect the same effect as after a professional procedure. After all, the pronounced result is achieved thanks to specialized equipment, which can only be purchased by a certain segment of the population.
An alternative option is cleaning with drugs. Most popular products used at home:
- cosmetic product Oxy-Peel Skin Renewal System V20 (Switzerland);
- Missha Super Aqua Oxygen Micro Essence Peeling (Korea);
- peeling mask Payot Peeling Oxygenant Depolluant (France);
- oxygen mask Faberlic (Russia);
- Beauty Style face mask (USA);
- combined complex Valencia Gio Peeling Gel O2 (Korea).
Oxygen cosmetics
It is not possible to saturate the epithelium with oxygen through cosmetic products alone. However, branded professional preparations contain aquaftem, a substance capable of transporting this element into cells.
Oxygen masks are sold in specialized stores and in pharmaceutical chains. However, care products with a similar effect can be prepared at home. For this you will need:
- Ground almonds – 2 tbsp. l.;
- Oatmeal – 2 tbsp. l.;
- White cosmetic clay – 1 tbsp. l.;
- Hydrogen peroxide - 10 drops.
Solid components must be mixed with water, achieving a mushy state. Peroxide is added to the mixture. The mask is applied to clean facial skin for 10 minutes and washed off with warm water.
Service cost
Gas-liquid peeling cannot be classified as a budget procedure. Depending on the equipment used, the price per session may vary.

How does lack of oxygen affect the condition of the skin?
The lack of vital gas directly affects the condition of all organs and tissues of the human body. For many, a term such as hypoxia (low oxygen content) is quite understandable and does not need additional explanation. In conditions of lack of oxygen, metabolic processes at the cellular level are disrupted, so-called under-oxidized chemical compounds (free radicals) appear, and tissues do not fully perform their functions, and all this, one way or another, affects our skin.
How does oxygen get to skin cells?
The flow of oxygen to skin cells occurs both through the body’s circulatory system and from the surrounding air. Therefore, to maintain a normal level of oxygen in the skin, it is necessary: for large and small blood vessels to function well, and for the skin to be sufficiently permeable for the supply of this element from the outside.
Thus, in order to protect the epidermal tissues from the effects of hypoxia, it is necessary, firstly, to free them from the obstructive upper layer of dead and keratinized cells, that is, to carry out peeling, and secondly, to ensure normal blood microcirculation in the blood vessels that nourish the skin .
All this can be achieved through oxygen peeling (oxygen mesotherapy).
