Nettoyage facial/OxyGénéo

What is facial cleansing /Oxygénéo?

Traditional facial cleansing unclogs, regulates and stabilizes sebaceous activity on the face and neck. Through its mechanical action, it also gently removes blackheads, limiting marks, particularly when other techniques are ineffective.

OxyGénéo technology offers five protocols with exclusive ingredients to meet different skin needs. It exfoliates the surface layer to eliminate dead cells, unclog pores, renew the epidermis and smooth the surface. It then stimulates local oxygenation, promoting cellular activity. At the same time, OxyGénéo infuses selected nutrients, vitamins and active ingredients to nourish the skin and support a healthier, smoother appearance.

How does our cosmetic clinic do it?

Facial cleaning (traditional)

The protocol begins with cleansing, exfoliation and an antiseptic ozone steam bath to help open pores. As required, the practitioner locates non-inflammatory microcysts, disinfects and then very gently incises their orifice with a sterile needle. Using a curette or by hand, he extracts the cystic contents (often a small, slightly hardened "ball of sebum"). The skin is then disinfected and massaged with a high-frequency probe (with soothing properties), before a clay mask is applied. A serum and moisturizing cream are applied at the end of the treatment.

OxyGénéo

The practitioner cleanses the skin and then dries it completely.

• Phase 1: application of a gel and passage of a radiofrequency applicator to warm the skin.
• Phase 2: use an applicator with an apsule of ingredients chosen according to the assessment; slow, even strokes to stimulate local oxygenation.
• Phase 3: application of a serum, followed by the ultrasound applicator. The session can end with a massage. Moisturizing cream and sun protection are applied at the end of the treatment.

The benefits of this facial cleansing method

Facial cleansing treats blackheads and acne by removing micro-cysts and helping to tighten the appearance of pores.

OxyGénéo is a 3-in-1 treatment that can improve skin quality, with results often visible from the very first session. The formulas are designed to minimize the risk of reaction, and are generally suitable for sensitive skin. 

These treatments can improve the skin's ability to retain water and support microcirculation; skin looks more nourished, supple and healthy. (Results vary from person to person).

Advice from our Cosmetics Clinic:

• Before: in general, no preparation is required. For mechanical extraction, it's best to avoid the sun in the month beforehand to limit the risk of pigment rebound; apply SPF 30 to 50 sunscreen during the day.
• Duration: 30 to 45 minutes. The OxyGénéo treatment is generally well tolerated; an anesthetic cream is not required. It's a soothing, relaxing treatment.
• Afterwards: no social eviction required. Depending on the case, a chemical peel may be suggested afterwards. Avoid wearing make-up immediately afterwards and for 12 hours afterwards. Sunlight and UV rays are not recommended for at least one month after the last treatment.
• Follow-up: for mechanical cleaning, redness, itching, slight tingling or small "mosquito bite"-type surface irregularities may occur for a few hours. 
• For OxyGénéo: skin may appear more radiant immediately after treatment.

The results you can expect from our cosmetic clinic:

After facial cleansing, the skin is clearer and softer. Depending on the number of microcysts and their condition, you should plan 1 to 3 sessions spaced about 15 days apart for lasting results. The effect of OxyGénéo treatment is cumulative: the more regular the treatments, the more the results tend to last. 

Cosmetological and nutritional care can also be provided. Montréal skin cleansing and OxyGénéo can be performed alone or in combination with other treatments. Results vary from person to person.
