Star Treatment: Rejuvenate Oxygen Infusion Facial

Lena Bratschi performs a facial massage before applying the Rejuvenate serum.

Madonna, Katy Perry and many more A-listers consider this treatment a must have. That’s because it combines therapeutic-grade oxygen technology with a hyaluronic acid-based serum to leave clients’ skin looking brighter, firmer and more lifted.

"It’s the only facial that serves as a go-to before an important event—say a TV appearance or awards dinner," says Lena Bratschi. "That’s why the stars love it."

The co-owner of Carasoin Day Spa in Beverly Hills, California, says the facial (45 min./$175) carries plenty of appeal for all clients (mortal as well as celebrity) because of her facility’s location.

"Los Angeles sits in a desert next to the ocean, so we have to work extra hard to hydrate our skin here," Bratschi says. "There’s no other system that uses an oxygen wand to push hydrating agents so deeply into epidermal layers."

A cooling serum composed of antioxidants, amino peptides and nano-hydrators penetrates into pores via a special oxygen machine wand. The tiny size of the hyaluronic acid molecule serves as a carrier, expediting the delivery of vitamins A, C and other minerals to the skin.

Despite its star-studded fan base, this treatment is beneficial for all skin types. "It’s a non-invasive procedure that dramatically enhances overall hydration—with instant as well as cumulative results," Bratschi says.

The Protocol:

1. Escort the guest to the treatment table and provide warm blankets, as the oxygen machine has a cooling effect.

2. Instruct the guest to lie on the table face up. Gently remove any makeup and perform a facial massage using a warm towel compress and oil.

3. Spread the Rejuvenate serum over small, manageable sections of the face at a time, working from the center and out.

4. After allowing the serum to sit for a few seconds, use the wand to atomize the product slowly into the skin.

5. Repeat this process upon the client’s entire face until the entire jar of serum has been infused into her skin. After you’ve finished one half of the face, you may want to have the client sit up and use a mirror to demonstrate just how drastically lifted the treated side appears, compared to the other.

6. Remove any residue and apply a moisture binding cream. Inform the client that she can immediately apply makeup and go about her day.

This treatment employs Intraceuticals products.
