The antioxidant therapy corrects and prevents free radical damage, as oxidative and environmental stress of skin is a significant contributor to aging.

The Oxygenating Facial stimulates oxygenation and circulation within the skin, rejuvenating sluggish, stressed or acne affected skin as it draws oxygen to the skin’s surface, resulting in a radiant, healthy glow.

It helps promote healing and rejuvenates sluggish, stressed skin depleted by toxins, pollutants, allergens, improper diet and solar damage. Acneic conditions also benefit greatly. Appropriate for use between peel treatments or when exfoliation or flaking is not desired. This treatment is also ideal two to three days before a special event. It draws oxygen to the skin’s surface, producing a rosy flush and a rapid warming sensation, resulting in a radiant, healthy look that lasts up to ten days.

For this treatment, we use the Oxygenating Trio from PCA Skin

What is the PCA Skin Oxygenating Trio?

The Oxygenating Trio has been part of PCA SKIN’s professional treatment offerings for over a decade. It has long been a favorite amongst PCA SKIN practitioners and their patients.

The Oxygenating Trio is a three-step system designed to promote a radiant, healthy glow by stimulating oxygenation and circulation within the skin in order to rejuvenate sluggish, stressed or acne affected skin.

Each component of this three-step system takes on a name that describes the part it plays in achieving healthy, beautiful skin:

• Activator
• Detoxifier
• Oxygenator

What are the benefits of an Oxygenating Facial?

The skin benefits as moisture molecules bond to the tissues causing a gentle plumping of the skin.

Environmental and oxidative stress wreaks havoc on the skin and speeds up the aging process, leading to dull, sluggish complexions. The newly reformulated Oxygenating Trio is the skin’s best defense against these external factors.

A combination of superoxide dismutase, fumaric acid, niacinamide, hydrolyzed candida saitoana extract and stabilized hydrogen peroxide provides antioxidant therapy to stimulate oxygenation and circulation, revitalizing damaged skin by bringing oxygen to the surface.

AHA and BHA reduce inflammation and promote exfoliation, while also providing essential hydration. Even more dramatic and immediate results can be achieved with these revolutionary treatment improvements.

Who can benefit from the Oxygenating Trio treatment?

It helps promote healing and rejuvenates sluggish, stressed skin depleted by toxins, pollutants, allergens, improper diet and solar damage.

Use of the Oxy Trio is also recommended to help clear acne, on smoker’s skin, or simply to reveal the radiant, healthy skin beneath the surface.

The Oxygenating Trio is also appropriate to use between peel treatments, when exfoliation or flaking is not desired or indicated.

This treatment is also ideal two to three days before a special event. It draws oxygen to the skin’s surface, producing a rosy flush and a rapid warming sensation, resulting in a radiant, healthy look.

What is an Oxygenating Facial treatment like?

The Oxygenating Trio produces no stinging or irritating side effects. However, a rosy flush and rapid warm sensation to the skin is normal. Oxygenating treatments leave the skin radiant, with a healthy look that will last seven to ten days.

Ingredients

• Step 1 Activator (formerly T-Res): Superoxide Dismutase, Fumaric Acid, Niacinamide
• Step 2 Detoxifier (formerly Hemoglobe-1): Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil, Hydrolyzed Hemoglobin, Prunus Serotina (Wild Cherry) Bark Extract
• Step 3 Oxygenator (formerly AO2): Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Hydrogen Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil
