HydraFacial vs Oxygen Facial: Which One Should You Choose?
Both facials give an instant glow, but they work differently. Here is how HydraFacial and the Oxygeno oxygen facial compare, and who each one suits best.
HydraFacial and the Oxygeno oxygen facial are two of our most requested treatments, especially before weddings and functions. Both are gentle, have no downtime and leave skin glowing, but they focus on different things.
What is the main difference?
HydraFacial focuses on deep cleansing. It uses vortex suction to exfoliate and pull out blackheads and congestion while infusing hydrating serums. The oxygen facial focuses on radiance. It gently exfoliates, then delivers oxygen and nutrient serums to plump and brighten tired skin.
Which is better for oily skin and blackheads?
HydraFacial. Its extraction step clears clogged pores and excess oil more effectively, which makes it ideal for oily, congested skin and open pores.
Which is better for dull, dehydrated or sensitive skin?
The oxygen facial. It is extremely gentle, very hydrating and well suited to dry, dull or sensitive skin that needs a quick boost.
Can you combine them?
Yes. Many clients alternate between the two, or combine them in a single pre-event session for clean pores and maximum glow.
How often should you have them?
Every three to four weeks for a HydraFacial and every two to three weeks for an oxygen facial keeps skin at its best. For a wedding, start two to three months before and book a final session two to three days before the event.
