There are facials that clean, facials that calm, and then there are facials that wake up your skin. The Oxy Derm Facial is one of those glow-inducing treatments that instantly refreshes your complexion, combining deep exfoliation with a powerful antioxidant boost that leaves skin visibly brighter, smoother, and undeniably radiant.

Loved for its ability to breathe life into tired, dull, or dehydrated skin, this treatment is ideal before a special event or anytime you want your skin to look healthy, polished, and lit from within. Even better? It’s safe during pregnancy, and gentle enough for most skin types year-round.

A Facial That Works on Two Levels

The Oxy Derm Facial begins with a customized exfoliation: either dermaplaning, which gently removes dead skin and fine peach fuzz, or microdermabrasion, which buffs away surface debris and roughness. Both options allow for deeper absorption of skincare products, instantly enhancing texture and clarity.

What follows is the Oxygenating Trio, a clinical-grade antioxidant system from PCA Skin that stimulates circulation, oxygenates tissue, and fights free radicals. Think of it as skin rehab: refreshing, cooling, and reparative all at once. The result? Skin that looks brighter, feels smoother, and glows like it just got back from vacation.


What an Oxy Derm Facial Feels Like

Clients describe the treatment as deeply refreshing, with a slightly tingly exfoliation phase followed by a soothing, almost cooling effect as the oxygenating serum infuses into the skin. It’s a facial that feels like it's working, without the sting or heat of more aggressive treatments.



Who It's Great For

The Oxy Derm is one of our most versatile facials. It's a beautiful choice for:

  • First-time facial clients

  • Pregnant clients seeking a safe skin refresh

  • Anyone prepping for a wedding, photoshoot, or night out

  • Regulars who want a monthly glow-up that maintains clarity and smoothness

If your concerns include dullness, uneven texture, or general skin fatigue, this is the treatment to choose.


After the Facial

There’s no downtime, you can go about your day with nothing more than a rosy post-facial flush that fades quickly. Your skin will feel soft, smooth, and hydrated immediately after. And while the results are visible right away, they tend to get even better over the next few days as your skin fully absorbs the antioxidants and circulatory benefits.

To maintain your results, we recommend booking an Oxy Derm every four weeks, especially if you're using it as part of a long-term glow routine.

Here is what our clients say about this facial: "Wow! Very impressed with my first facial ever. I'm 56 and received a gift card from my son. From the moment you walk in your greeted with beautiful smiles, slippers and a tour. I had the Oxy Derm facial recommended by my aesthetician Daria because it was my first time and i wanted the right one needed..It was very relaxing, in a warm bed and i just enjoyed all of it. Highly ,highly recommended and Daria was so sweet and informative. I felt completely at ease for a rookie! This is an award winning hidden gem!!! And I'm booked already for my next one!!!" - Pam Eardley


Want to Take It a Step Further?

While the Oxy Derm stands strong on its own, many of our clients like to boost their results with targeted enhancements. From LED light therapy for inflammation, to a custom mask upgrade, or microcurrent for that extra lift, these add-ons are available to personalize your experience. Our estheticians will help you decide what’s right for your skin on the day of your treatment.


Aftercare You Can Count On

After your facial, we recommend avoiding exercise, hot showers, or active skincare products like retinoids and exfoliants for at least 24–48 hours. Keep things simple: hydrate, sleep on a clean pillowcase, and wear SPF daily. Your skin just did the work and now it’s time to protect that glow.


A Few Notes on Sensitivity

If you’re booking dermaplaning or microdermabrasion as part of your facial, be sure to let us know about any recent use of retinoids, nickel allergies, or history of rosacea, eczema, or highly reactive skin. We’ll always adjust based on your skin’s current state and needs.


Ready to Glow?

The Oxy Derm Facial is that perfect middle ground between clinical results and spa-like calm. It’s where gentle meets effective, and where your glow gets its second wind. Whether you’re preparing for a milestone moment or just need a little skin reset, this treatment always delivers.
