What is a HydroFacial, and how does it benefit the skin?

A HydroFacial is a non-invasive, multi-step treatment that exfoliates, hydrates, and rejuvenates the skin. It cleanses pores, removes dead skin cells, and nourishes the skin with serums, resulting in a radiant complexion.

What is an Oxygen Facial?

The OxyGeneo exfoliates to remove dead cells, open clogged pores, smooth and renew skin. The treatment generates an abundance of CO2 bubbles that permeate the upper skin layer to trigger a physiological response known as the Bohr Effect.

Nutrients, vitamins and selected active ingredients are infused to promote healthier and smoother complexion.
