It's the holiday, wedding, and festival season. This summer is a hectic time of year when you’ll want to be feeling and looking your best – especially if there will be photo ops.
 
Planning on opting for an in-clinic treatment like a facial or peel to refresh your skin?
 
With an already busy schedule juggling work, life admin and social life- there isn’t always time for ‘down time’ and being makeup-free post-procedure! Especially if you are having a treatment on your lunch break then getting straight back to the office (who wants to go in all red after a peel really!)
 
In comes the Oxygenetix range. When creator and co-founder Barry Knapp witnessed the aftermath of his mother’s chemical peel procedure and her granddaughters could barely look at her, frightened by her compromised skin. He envisioned a solution and started creating the formula for a product that can minimize post-procedure downtime while healing the skin. Thus, Oxygenetix was born...

Oxygenetix topicals are enforced with the patented Ceravitae® complex, a supercharged oxygenating ingredient which reproduces new skin cells and boosts collagen production and connective tissue growth. Ceravitae® is a derivative from Sacchromisate Lysae, a yeast extract that accelerates healing by promoting oxygen uptake to the skin cells via osmosis.

As skin cells turnover at a more rapid rate, the skin heals faster and maintains a youthful appearance. They also contain Aloe Barbadensis which soothes the skin on contact making it great post-procedure when the skin is inflamed. The products accelerate wound healing while covering up signs of the procedure such as redness. 

Oxygenetix topicals
The post-procedure process:
 
Start by applying a generous amount of Oxygenetix Hydro-Matrix with a non-latex sponge and gloves. Wait for this to soak into the skin and then apply the Oxygenating Foundation, following up with the Oxygenating Concealer where necessary.
 
Oxygenetix works well after*:
• CO2 Laser
• Rhinoplasty
• Laser Hair Removal
• Acne/Rosacea
• Facial Surgery Bruising
• Scar Revision
• Skin Resurfacing
• Injectables such as Dermal Fillers or Botox
• Eye Surgery
• Dermabrasion
• Chemical Peels
*Patients should always consult with their doctor prior to use
