The Oxygen Facial Process
During the treatment, your aesthetician will first cleanse and gently exfoliate your face.
A handheld wand delivers a stream of high-pressurized oxygen to the skin’s surface. We include various serums containing hyaluronic acid, botanical extracts, vitamins, moisturizers, and antioxidants at different stages of the facial. These serums, customized for your skin’s needs, will hydrate, heal, refresh, and plump the skin.

An oxygen facial is an innovative, advanced treatment that delivers condensed molecules of oxygen to your skin. The oxygen application is followed with applied serums and botanical extracts to provide instant and lasting hydration to achieve a healthy glow.
As a skincare ingredient, oxygen helps promote a healthy skin barrier and hydrate the skin. The boost of oxygen helps to maintain skin health and keep it looking bright and radiant.
Your customized oxygen facial in Brookline will take 30 minutes to an hour to complete. There are add-ons you can incorporate—such as extractions, PRP, and more—which can extend the treatment time. Also, you’ll need to have a consultation with a Dream Spa Medical provider. During this consultation, we will examine your skin and understand your goals for your complexion. We will also determine how to best customize your oxygen facial to suit your unique needs.
Results last for several days. For the best, longest-lasting results, we recommend a series of treatments over several weeks. Many patients return once a month for oxygen maintenance in order to maintain the dewy freshness of their skin.
Any oxygen facial is great for all skin tones and types. However, if you have extremely sensitive skin, you may have temporary redness after a treatment. The pinkness/redness may last a few hours up to a day or 2. Also, you may have some puffiness or mild facial swelling that accompanies the redness. You may use a cool compress to ease these side effects.
There is zero downtime after this facial. Your skin should feel refreshed, smooth, and plump.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for an Oxygen Facial in Brookline
- It is best to avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for a few days prior to your appointment. It is not a necessity, as we are able to tailor our ingredients to your skin and help it heal from any kind of adverse reaction to the sun, but it is always best practice to be mindful of your sun exposure. Not having visible sun exposure will also allow your provider to incorporate more active ingredients into your facial, allowing for an elevated outcome.
- If your skin tends to be more on the sensitive side, it is best to avoid using active ingredients, such as acids, retinols, or topical prescriptions, 2 to 4 days prior to your appointment. The exception to this would be if you are using our suggested Environ Vitamin A treatment cream or serum (Youth Essentia A or Skin Essentia A). These products should always be used leading up to your treatment.
- If your skin falls into a “normal” range or if you already have an established treatment plan, you may continue with your normal home care routine.
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, or depilatory use 4 days prior to your appointment.
- If you are prone to Herpes Labialis outbreaks, we suggest pre-treating with an antiviral medication for 2 days leading up to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription for this medication, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and will help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- Mild redness may occur, and it will resolve quickly without the need for extra treatment or product.
- Your provider may opt to have you avoid certain acids (glycolic, salicylic, etc.), retinol products (Rx or over-the-counter) or topical prescriptions, such as antibiotic or steroid creams, for up to 5 days following your facial if your treatment was sensitizing.
- It is best to protect your new, glowing skin by avoiding direct sun exposure or the use of tanning beds for 1 or more days post-treatment.
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, or depilatory use for at least 5 days.
- Always use a physical protectant SPF (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) and reapply throughout the day. We strongly recommend ISDIN Erytofona Actinica as a base in the morning and ISDIN Mineral brush for reapplying throughout the day.
- You may proceed with any cosmetic procedures or injectable treatments immediately following your facial. In fact, we encourage you to do so. We feel that working on freshly exfoliated and appropriately cared-for skin responds so much better to further enhancements.
Patients with active acne may experience a flare-up, or purging, post-treatment. Proper home care and compliance will be crucial for managing it.
This typically happens in your initial visits, but with consistency, trust, and compliance, this will not continue, and you will have the clear skin that you deserve!
