OxyGeneo
A capsule reacting with a gel on the skin: exfoliating, feeding and prompting the skin to take up more oxygen, in one treatment.
The handpiece moves a capsule with a gel across the skin. The two react with each other and small CO2 bubbles form on the skin. The skin responds by sending more oxygen-rich blood to the spot, while the capsule loosens the outer layer and brings in the substances from the gel. It stays at the surface.
The therapist chooses the settings based on your skin, your health, the treatment area and the goal of the treatment.

Which concerns we treat with it
Per concern it says which treatment is used for it. Which one suits you is established by the skin therapist at the intake.
What this device actually does
The capsule contains a bicarbonate and an acid. On the skin, with the gel, CO2 forms from them. That briefly raises the CO2 level in the skin, and the body answers with more oxygen-rich blood to that spot.
Where this device is meant for
On the left what this device was made for, on the right when something else does more for you.
- Dull skin that may look fresher straight away
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Maintenance without recovery time
- Scars or pigment sitting deeper
- Skin that is inflamed or irritated at that moment
- A lasting result; it is maintenance
What is different from the other devices here
Several devices here do the same thing to the eye. Which one you get depends on your skin and on what was measured. Below is how they differ from one another.
- Compared with
Hydrafacial syndeo
Suctions away. The OxyGeneo suctions nothing away but lets the skin respond to the bubbles itself.
To the Hydrafacial syndeo - Compared with
Peel lines
Goes deeper and takes recovery time. The OxyGeneo stays in the horny layer.

Frequently asked questions
What are those bubbles?
CO2 released when the capsule reacts with the gel. Your skin answers with better blood flow, and that is exactly the point.
Do I feel anything of it?
A light fizzing and some warmth. No stinging and no recovery time; you can walk straight out with it.
The difference is in the hand that operates it
The same OxyGeneo gives a different result in two clinics. What counts is the measurement beforehand, the setting that belongs with it and the therapist who judges what suits your skin.
The measurement
Under UV and in normal light, so that you know what is there and how deep.
The setting
Strength, depth and pulse duration are chosen for your skin, not to a standard.
The honest no
If this does not fit what is going on with you, we say so.
