$90/session for an oxygen facial. That’s less than a single SK-II sheet mask pack — and this delivers more hydration in one hour than a week of masking at home.

The Korean philosophy

Korean clinics view the oxygen facial as a hydration delivery system, not just an oxygen treatment. The pressurized oxygen is the vehicle; the serums are the payload. This is why Korean oxygen facials tend to use higher-quality serum blends than Western equivalents.

The ritual

1

Double cleanse

8 min

Oil cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser removes all barriers between the oxygen stream and your skin. Clean skin is essential for even serum delivery.

2

Gentle exfoliation

7 min

A mild enzyme or chemical exfoliation removes the dead skin layer so the oxygen-delivered serums can penetrate freshly revealed skin. Nothing aggressive — just surface-level smoothing.

3

Oxygen + serum infusion

20 min

The main event. A wand-like device emits a stream of pressurized oxygen that pushes a customized serum blend (hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamin C, antioxidants) deep into your skin. It feels like a cool breeze moving across your face. The esthetician works section by section. It’s strange and wonderful.

4

Sheet mask

15 min

A hydrating sheet mask locks in the freshly infused serums and gives your skin time to absorb everything. You relax for 15 minutes. This amplifies the plumping effect.

5

Moisturizer + SPF

5 min

A rich moisturizer seals the treatment. SPF goes on last. Your skin looks immediately plumper, dewier, and more radiant.

Your first time

You’ll lie on a treatment bed in a quiet, dimly lit room. After cleansing and light exfoliation, the esthetician uses a small wand that blows a cool, pressurized stream of oxygen onto your skin. It feels like a concentrated, gentle breeze — not cold, not warm, just a soft whoosh. There’s no pain, no tingling, no discomfort at all. The wand moves across your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin. Then a hydrating mask goes on and you rest. The whole thing takes 45-60 minutes. You walk out looking visibly plumper and dewier. People will ask what you did. You can wear makeup immediately after.

When to book

The ultimate pre-event treatment. Book the morning of or the day before a big event for maximum plumping and glow. Effects last 5-7 days. For maintenance, every 2-4 weeks keeps skin consistently hydrated. No restrictions on timing — you can do this any day of the week, any time of year. Pairs beautifully with LED therapy for an amplified glow.

East vs West

Same core technology, dramatically different pricing. Korean clinics position oxygen facials as a regular maintenance treatment ($70-130), while Western spas charge $175-350 for the same thing and market it as a “luxury” experience. The serums used in Korean clinics are often more sophisticated blends.

Aftercare

Your skin is primed to absorb everything after this treatment. Apply your at-home routine within an hour for maximum benefit. Avoid harsh cleansers for 12 hours.
