Oxygen Facial Treatment: Benefits, Routine & Results
The oxygen facial treatment is now one of the most sought-after professional aesthetic treatments for achieving radiant, hydrated, and visibly rejuvenated skin. At Natural Argania, this oxygen skincare routine combines natural active ingredients (argan oil, frankincense, argania) with active oxygenation technology to deliver visible results from the first session. Whether you're looking for an oxygen anti-aging treatment, a professional oxygen facial treatment, or simply an oxygenated facial cleansing routine to revive your complexion, this guide answers all your questions.
What Is an Oxygen Facial Treatment?
A professional oxygenating treatment involves infusing pure oxygen into the upper layers of the epidermis, combined with active serums and creams applied simultaneously or immediately afterward. This technique — sometimes referred to as an Oxygeneo facial in the beauty industry — stimulates cell renewal, improves blood microcirculation, and allows the skin to better absorb active ingredients.
Concretely, a professional device delivers a fine stream of low-pressure oxygen onto the face, often combined with gentle exfoliation. This dual action — oxygenation and exfoliation — helps prepare the skin for the absorption of active ingredients, which explains why results can be visible from the first application: the complexion appears more radiant, the skin texture smoother, and facial features less visibly drawn from fatigue.
This is not a miracle treatment or a medical procedure: it is a professional aesthetic treatment whose effectiveness depends directly on the quality of the active ingredients used and the practitioner’s expertise.
How Does Oxygenation Work on the Skin?
To understand why this treatment works, we need to go back to a simple principle of skin physiology: epidermal cells need oxygen to renew effectively. Urban pollution, lack of sleep, stress, and smoking can reduce the skin’s natural oxygenation, resulting in a dull complexion and less firm-looking skin.
By delivering an extra supply of oxygen directly to the skin’s surface, the treatment:
- Stimulates microcirculation, which helps support the delivery of nutrients to skin cells.
- Accelerates cell renewal, a process that naturally slows down after the age of 30.
- Promotes the penetration of active ingredients applied immediately afterward, such as argan oil or frankincense-based serums, whose soothing and revitalizing properties have been recognized for generations in Moroccan Berber traditions.
It is this combination — modern technology and ancestral ingredients — that sets our approach apart from a standard oxygen facial treatment.
Benefits of an Oxygen Facial Treatment
A Complete Anti-Aging Treatment
The oxygen anti-aging facial treatment targets visible signs of skin aging: fine lines, loss of firmness, and a dull complexion. Through active oxygenation, oxygen-based anti-wrinkle treatments help stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production and restore a more toned appearance. This lifting treatment is appreciated as part of a regular treatment plan, particularly by our clients aged 35 to 55 who are looking for a non-invasive alternative.
Immediate Hydration and Radiance
The oxygen facial hydrating treatment is recommended for dehydrated, tired, or cold-exposed skin. Combined with a suitable mask, it instantly restores radiance to the complexion — an effect that many of our clients describe as a “radiance boost” before a wedding, an interview, or simply to feel good in their own skin.
Firming and Skin Tightening
The treatment also works more deeply on skin elasticity. The same benefits can be seen on the body, with a toning and firming effect, often offered as a complement to the facial treatment during a complete treatment plan at the institute.
Before & After: What to Expect
Many of our clients ask us the same question before their first session: "Will it really be noticeable?" The honest answer is: yes, but not in the same way depending on when you look.
Immediately after the treatment, the effect is noticeable: the complexion appears more radiant, the skin looks plumper and feels softer to the touch, and facial features appear less visibly marked by fatigue. This is the “radiance boost” effect that many people seek before an event.
After a course of 4 to 6 sessions, the changes become more lasting: the skin feels firmer, the skin texture appears refined, and the complexion stays radiant for longer between treatments. This is when our clients most often report comments from those around them — "you look rested," "your skin has changed" — without necessarily having changed anything else in their routine.
Session Breakdown: The Complete Routine
A oxygen skincare treatment session takes place in several precise steps, which we systematically follow to ensure consistent results:
- Makeup Removal — removes impurities and makeup without being harsh on the skin.
- Deep Cleansing — prepares the epidermis, with particular attention to the T-zone for combination skin.
- Gentle Exfoliation — removal of dead skin cells to optimize the absorption of active ingredients.
- Oxygen Infusion — diffusion of pure oxygen combined with a targeted serum.
- Active Serum — anti-aging, soothing, or radiance-boosting, depending on your current needs.
- Mask — tailored to your skin type, applied for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Final Cream — to seal in the benefits and protect the skin after the treatment.
The complete session lasts 75 minutes. We recommend avoiding heavy makeup in the hours following the treatment to allow the skin to breathe fully.
A Treatment Tailored to Every Skin Type
One of the great advantages of this technique is its versatility. We systematically adapt the protocol according to the skin analysis performed at the beginning of the session:
- Sensitive Skin — fragrance-free formulas, minimizing the risk of irritation.
- Mature Skin — protocole renforcé ciblant les rides profondes et la perte de fermeté.
- Dull Skin — a combination of mask and serum for a visible radiance boost as soon as you leave.
- Dry Skin Requiring Deep Care — a rich, nourishing treatment with an occlusive step.
This personalization, in our experience, is what distinguishes a truly visible result from a standardized treatment performed without a prior skin analysis.
How Many Sessions, and What Results Can You Expect?
How Often? For optimal anti-aging results, we recommend a course of 4 to 6 sessions spaced one to two weeks apart, followed by monthly maintenance. For a simple, occasional radiance boost, a single session before an event is generally sufficient.
What Results Can You Expect? The immediate effects — radiance, comfort, and plumper-looking skin — are visible as soon as you leave the institute. More lasting effects on firmness and wrinkles develop gradually over the course of the sessions.
Precautions: This treatment remains gentle and non-invasive, but we recommend informing your esthetician if you have very reactive skin, a known allergy to an active ingredient, are undergoing dermatological treatment, or are pregnant, so the protocol can be adapted — or postponed — if necessary.
Everything You Need to Know Before Your Appointment

A course of 4 to 6 sessions spaced one to two weeks apart is generally recommended, followed by monthly maintenance.
Yes, light makeup can be applied after the treatment, once the skin has had a few hours to rest.

Expect to pay $189 for a single 75-minute session. For regular treatments, our 4-session package is offered at $720, representing a $36 savings compared to the individual rate — the most suitable option if you’re aiming for long-lasting anti-aging results rather than a one-time radiance boost
