Oxygen Infusion Facial

Posted on February 11, 2020July 8, 2020 by abigail

Today’s fast-paced life takes its toll on our skin. It is constantly exposed to air pollution, air conditioners that dry one’s skin, hot and cold weather which dries and tightens the skin and even makeup which blocks the pores for several hours at a time. All of these conditions that we live with on a daily basis prevent our skin from absorbing the oxygen that it needs to shine. The skin contracts and prevents enough oxygen from entering the skin.

Oxygen infusion facials give your skin the extra oxygen that it needs. The skin and lungs are the only organs that absorb oxygen from the air as well as from the bloodstream. Oxygen is absorbed in every skin layer of the epidermis and the dermis. This oxygen is critical in helping the skin to maintain itself on an ongoing basis.

Traditional Oxygen Infusion Facial

Traditional oxygen infusion facials are performed at a spa with a special machine. First, the skin is cleaned from dry cells and whatever other wastes may have accumulated. An aesthetician passes over your face and actually blows oxygen onto your face with a pen-like blowing machine. Cream and serums containing vitamins and minerals are then used to replenish life-giving nutrients to the skin.

Spas provide oxygen infusion facials which last from 30 minutes to an hour. In order to maintain the skin’s quality the recommended treatment plan is one a week for the first six weeks and then maintenance treatments once a month. However, one could also have the treatment just before a big event, such as a wedding, anniversary, or business meeting where you are presenting in front of a group. At spas and beauty salons, the facials usually run between $80 and $300 for all or part of the treatment. Many famous celebrities swear by the oxygen infusion facial, including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Campbell, Jessica Biel, Miley Cyrus, Channing Tatum, and Fergie Thicke.

The NowMi Oxygen Infusion Facial

The NowMi oxygen infusion facial is perfect for treating damaged skin, whether it is dry, oily or just lackluster. The treatment is also convenient because you can do it yourself at home and it can be completed in five minutes.

The NowMi treatment performs four skincare actions at the same time: exfoliation, nourishment, oxygenation and protection. The treatment also uses Sonic energy which enhances the effectiveness of each action.

Exfoliation

The NowMi oxygen infusion facial starts with exfoliating the skin. The exfoliation cleans and removes all dirt, makeup residue and oil. This cleansing is important because our skin is exposed to pollution and air contaminants that clog the pores. It is also important for people suffering from acne outbreaks since it limits the development of blackheads. Most importantly, the facial exfoliation removes the dead cells on the outer layer of the facial skin, and prepares the skin to absorb the infused nutrients.

Nourishment

After the skin has been exfoliated, it is highly receptive to the infusion of nourishing vitamins and minerals. An effervescent tablet containing vitamin C is used to penetrate the skin’s dermal layer and nourish the cells. Unlike other vitamin C rich products, the effervescent tablet is vacuum sealed which ensures that its potency isn’t harmed. Simultaneously, the vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid contained in the NowMi lubricant gel are infused into the skin.

Oxygenation

Unlike traditional facial treatments in which the oxygen is externally infused into the skin, the NowMi treatment stimulates the body to oxygenate itself from within! It does this based on a scientific principle called the Bohr effect. The Bohr effect states that when the body has an excess amount of carbon dioxide, it counters with oxygen. The NowMi treatment stimulates a chemical reaction on the skin’s surface that creates a rich carbon dioxide environment, and the body then sends oxygen-rich blood cells to the treatment area.

Protection

The NowMi oxygen infusion facial treatment replenishes the skin’s vitamin C and E supply which enables the skin to both protect itself and also to repair damage caused by free radicals.

The NowMi treatment enables you to enjoy all of the benefits of a professional spa oxygen treatment with a clinically proven, home-use device. Best of all, treatment takes only five minutes and you can do it anywhere, anytime.

Skincare for Smokers

Posted on February 5, 2020August 30, 2020 by abigail

Cigarette smoke takes its toll on facial skin. The chemicals inhaled inhibit the amount of oxygen the skin cells receive which makes the skin appear duller and paler. Nicotine itself causes the skin to dehydrate and have a dry look and feel, and the repetitive cigarette puckering action causes small lines to form around the mouth. However, with the right skincare for smokers routine you can limit the negative effects of cigarette smoke on your skin! The key lies in nourishing and hydrating it.

Revitalize your skin with vitamin C

When you smoke, you inhale over 4,000 harmful chemicals. The chemicals cause the body to produce fewer red blood cells and reduce the oxygen flow in the body.

One of the manifestations of this is the narrowing of the capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest vessels in the body. They play an important function – they transfer oxygen and other nutrients and minerals from the bloodstream to tissues in the body and collect carbon dioxide and waste materials from the cells. Once the capillaries narrow, the blood’s circulation is hindered. This leads to slower cell healing and may cause cell death. Frequently, the cells don’t receive enough oxygen and nutrients which causes the skin to lose its glow and become duller and discolored.

Furthermore, the lack of nutrients often results in the formation of dark spots on the facial skin. For example, the skin is less able to protect itself from sun damage and sunspots appear more easily.

The chemicals also harm the collagen and elastin in the skin. Collagen and elastin are the main proteins that provide the skin with strength and elasticity. When they weaken, the skin begins to wrinkle and sag.

In order to counter these predicaments, what you need is vitamin C! Vitamin C is a miraculous vitamin that:

Helps the skin create new collagen and prevents degradation of existing collagen. The collagen firms the skin and prevents premature aging. It also enables the body to repair itself from damage caused by cigarette smoke.
Restores the skin’s vitality. The vitamin provides the skin with a youthful and radiant appearance.
Limits the formation of unwanted pigmentation and provides facial skin with a more even and uniform texture.
Protects the skin. Vitamin C helps the skin fight free-radicals and limits the formation of sunspots.

NowMi treatment infuses pure vitamin C — Vitamin C revitalizes and the skin

Counter dehydration with Hyaluronic Acid

Nicotine is diuretic. This means that it stimulates the body to increase its production of urine which in-turn promotes dehydration. In addition, as mentioned above, the facial skin cells receive less oxygen and nutrients which results in drier skin.

One of the best ways to hydrate your skin is by infusing it with Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is an essential chemical naturally produced by the body. Its primary function is to retain water and it can hold 1,000 times its weight in water! It helps facial skin cells remain moist and hydrated which gives the skin a supple complexion.

Exfoliate to prevent the formation of blackheads

Cigarette smoke clogs up the pores and causes blackheads. The T-zone, which is the area of the face that runs across the forehead and down its center, is especially susceptible. It is therefore important to cleanse your face daily and exfoliate it on a weekly basis.

The NowMi Treatment- the best skincare for smokers

The NowMi Pro facial treatment is an excellent solution that can minimize facial skin damage caused by smoking. The NowMi Pro skincare for smokers routine consists of two parts- daily facial cleansing and a weekly nourishing facial.

NowMi Pro is now on sale with Special Offer: Buy now a NowMi Pro Kit from the inventor of OxyGeneo and receive Free of Charge a NowMi refill kit (valued at $99) that will give you 3 extra months vitamin C oxygen facial treatments at home.

Daily cleansing: The NowMi cleansing gel thoroughly cleanses the skin. It is used in combination with sonic energy which exponentially increases the effectiveness of the gel and ensures that each pore is deeply cleansed. In addition, the cleansing gel infuses the skin with vitamins E, B3, B5 and Dead Sea minerals which strengthen and revitalize it.

Weekly facial:

The NowMi Pro facial treatment performs 4 actions simultaneously- skin exfoliation, nourishment, oxygenation and protection

1. Exfoliation– During exfoliation, the outermost layer of the skin is removed. The exfoliation clears away all dirt (including cigarette smoke residue), makeup and dead skin cells.

2. Nourishment– The NowMi treatment infuses the skin with pure vitamin C, vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid.

Vitamin C: The vitamin C is delivered in the form of an effervescent tablet. Unlike other vitamin C enriched serums and creams, the vitamin C used in the NowMi treatment is sealed until use. This guarantees the most potent delivery of the vitamin. The reason is that once vitamin C is exposed to air or light it is damaged and loses its effectiveness. More than any other vitamin, vitamin C can revitalize and repair damaged facial skin cells.
Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps the skin to protect itself against cigarette smoke, pollution, UV rays and more. The skin contains more vitamin E than any other nutrient. Vitamin E has many anti-aging benefits and also hydrates the skin.
Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid prevents skin dehydration and provides it with a supple and healthy look.

3. Oxygenation– the NowMi skincare for smokers treatment can give your skin what it needs the most- oxygen! The NowMi treatment uses a scientific principle called the Bohr effect to stimulate the body to send oxygen rich blood to the treatment area. The NowMi treatment creates a carbon dioxide rich environment on the skin’s surface and the body responds by infusing the cells with oxygen. The added oxygen reinvigorates the skin’s cells and increases circulation.

4. Protection – Vitamin C and E protect the skin from damaging extrinsic factors such as UV rays, cigarette smoke and pollution. By replenishing the skin’s supply of these vitamins you can reduce the amount of damage caused to the facial skin.

Conclusion:

Smoking harms the facial skin and changes its complexion. It causes it to look dull and dry as well as age prematurely. These effects can be significantly reduced by deeply cleansing the skin and infusing it with vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid. The NowMi skincare for smokers routine does just this. Best of all, treatment takes only 5 minutes and can be performed in the comfort of your home.

Wintertime Oxygen Treatment

Posted on January 28, 2020April 22, 2020 by abigail

During the winter months the facial skin tends to dry out more easily. There are many reasons for this- the cooler temperatures, the reduced humidity in the air, the overly hot showers we tend to take, and the fact that we spend so much time in overheated indoor environments.

All of these factors take their toll on our skin. As cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Sam Bunting says “Heated air inside causes low humidity, which leads to water evaporating from our skin…This can cause cracking, flaking and irritation and leave skin with a lackluster, parched appearance.” The skin is further damaged by the constant shifting between the heated indoors and the cold outdoors. This process causes the facial capillaries to rapidly contract and expand which can lead to skin redness and broken veins. And when it comes to super-hot showers, dermatologist Dr. Nick Lowe advises “Hot baths and showers can dissolve the protective barrier in the skin which will eventually lead to dryness”.

One of the best ways to take care of your skin is to pamper it with a wintertime oxygen treatment. The treatment focuses on hydrating the skin and restoring moisture.

Advantages of a wintertime oxygen treatment

1. Oxygen is vital for the skin– During the winter months, the dry air reduces the oxygen content in the skin. To counter this, the wintertime oxygen treatment infuses the skin with pure oxygen. As a result, the cells are revitalized and reinvigorated. They are able to better absorb nourishing vitamins and minerals, clear waste and heal themselves.

2. Anti-aging effect– One of the reasons for premature skin aging is a decrease in the levels of oxygen in the skin. As we age, the blood capillaries in the facial skin tend to clog, and as a result, the cells don’t function at their full capacity. The facial skin becomes paler, thinner and more fragile. By infusing the skin with oxygen, you can dramatically slow down the signs of aging and enjoy a more youthful appearance.

3. Deep skin hydration – During the wintertime oxygen treatment, the skin is infused with nourishing vitamins and minerals. One of the key ingredients used is Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan, is a substance naturally produced by the body. Its primary function is to retain water and it can hold 1,000 times its weight in water! Hyaluronic acid plays a major role in keeping tissues moist and well lubricated and as a result, the skin looks and feels more supple.

The NowMi wintertime oxygen treatment

NowMi Pro vitamin C oxygen facial treatment — NowMi Oxygen Facial

If you lead a busy lifestyle and it is hard for you to find the time to go to a spa to get your wintertime oxygen treatment, there is an alternative! The NowMi treatment enables you to enjoy a spa-quality treatment in the comfort of your own home. Best of all, the treatment takes only 5 minutes and costs a fraction of the price of its spa equivalent.

The NowMi Pro is a remarkable device that performs two functions- daily sonic cleansing and weekly vitamin C oxygen facial.

The daily cleanser deeply cleanses the skin and infuses it with vitamins E, B3, B5 and Dead Sea minerals which strengthen and revitalize it.

The weekly vitamin C oxygen facial treatment performs 4 actions- skin exfoliation, nourishment, oxygenation and protection.

Exfoliation: During exfoliation, all dead skin cells, makeup and dirt are removed from the facial skin’s surface.

Nourishment: The skin is infused with pure vitamin C, vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid. As mentioned above, Hyaluronic acid plays a major role in helping the facial skin retain its moisture, especially during the dry winter months.

Oxygenation: The NowMi treatment uses a unique technology to ‘oxygenate itself from within’. The same science-backed skin oxygenation technology of the OxyGeneo treatment that has been used in professional clinics since 2013. Unlike traditional oxygen facials in which the oxygen is infused from the outside, in the NowMi oxygen facial treatment, the oxygenation process is internal, and as a result, all of the cells are oxygenated and optimally absorb the infused vitamins and minerals.

Protection: The NowMi treatment replenishes the skin’s supply of vitamin C and E. As a result, the skin is better able to protect itself during the winter months from UV rays and other ailments that dry it out.

Conclusion:

The winter months are harsh on the skin. The decline in temperatures, the dry air and the constant shift between heated and unheated environments take their toll on our skin. Wintertime oxygen treatments can help a lot! They can restore lost moisture, nourish the skin, and help it remain balanced.

oxy facial kit for oily skin

Posted on January 22, 2020July 18, 2020 by abigail

Does your skin have an oily complexion? Are you frustrated because you haven’t found the right treatment for your facial skin? Do you want your skin to be more balanced? There is a solution- the NowMi oxy facial kit for oily skin!

The NowMi oxy facial kit for oily skin is a breakthrough in skincare. It is unique because it allows you to enjoy the most advanced skincare technology, which up until now has been limited to professional spas, in a home-use device.

The NowMi oxy facial kit for oily skin includes a NowMi Pro sonic applicator, 6 vitamin C effervescent tablets, a lubricant gel tube, and a cleansing gel tube. The NowMi applicator has two sides – one side is used to perform the weekly vitamin C oxygen facial and the other for the daily sonic cleansing treatment.

NowMi Weekly Facial

Just like a professional spa facial treatment, the NowMi weekly facial treatment includes 4 actions- skin exfoliation, nourishment oxygenation and protection.

1. Skin exfoliation– deep skin cleansing is an incremental part of caring for oily skin. The exfoliation removes the outer layer of the skin and clears away all excess oil, makeup and dirt. The exfoliation is carried out using the NowMi effervescent tablet. The tablet has a coarse texture and when it is mixed with the NowMi lubricant gel it easily glides across the skin. During the treatment, you need to message the tablet on the skin in circular motions to exfoliate it. In addition, the NowMi device uses sonic energy which increases the efficiency and speed of the exfoliation process. The device transmits 6,000 sonic pulsations per minute which ensures that every pore is thoroughly cleansed.

2. Skin nourishment– the NowMi treatment infuses the skin with vitamin C, E and Hyaluronic acid. Vitamin C is excellent for oily skin. Since the main problem with oily skin is that it produces excess amounts of sebum, by increasing the amount of vitamin C in the skin, you can help it become more balanced. Furthermore, vitamin C boosts the collagen levels in the skin which slows down the signs of aging. It also reduces the amount of pigmentation and helps the skin to look smooth and radiant.

Vitamin E is renowned for its antioxidant properties and its ability to limit skin damage caused by extrinsic factors such as UV rays, pollution and smoke. Vitamin E also hydrates the skin and helps it heal faster.

Many people with oily skin over-cleanse their skin and cause it to dry out. While cleansing the skin to reduce excess sebum is critical, it is important to hydrate the skin so that it maintains its natural elasticity and suppleness. This is where Hyaluronic acid comes in. Hyaluronic acid plays a vital role in moisturizing the skin and ensuring the skin doesn’t dry out.

3. Skin oxygenation– many leading spas offer oxygen facial treatments. The professional treatments use a high-pressure jet spray gun to infuse pure oxygen into the skin. While these treatments work well, the NowMi vitamin C oxygen facial treatment has taken oxygen treatments to the next levels and stimulates the body to ‘oxygenate itself from within’.

The oxygenation effect is based on a scientific principle known as the ‘Bohr Effect’. According to the Bohr Effect, if the body is bombarded with high concentrations of carbon dioxide, it responds by oxygenating the area. Therefore, the NowMi treatment creates high concentrations of carbon dioxide on the skin’s surface and the body then sends oxygen-rich blood cells to counter this imbalance. Because of the oxygenation effect, the vitamins and minerals to be optimally absorbed by the cells.

4. Skin protection: The NowMi treatment helps to prevent skin damage. Once the skin’s supply of vitamin C and E have been restored, it can optimally protect itself from damaging factors such as UV rays, pollution and smoke.

NowMi Daily Cleanser

The American Association of Dermatology recommends to daily wash oily skin. The NowMi Pro device comes with a daily cleanser that removes all excess sebum from your face. The cleanser is applied using silicone micro-fingers, and the cleansing action is further enhanced using sonic energy. The sonic energy pushes the cleansing solution into the pores and ensures they are thoroughly cleaned. Scientific research has demonstrated that cleaning the face with sonic energy is up to 6 times more efficiant than hand washing.

The NowMi cleansing gel not only cleanses the skin but also infuses it with vitamins E, B3, B5 and Dead Sea minerals. These active ingredients nourish and hydrate the skin and help it keep balanced and looking its best.

The NowMi Pro treatment kit - Daily — The NowMi Pro daily cleanser

Summary:

If your skin has an oily complexion, you should try the oxy facial kit for oily skin. It will help you cleanse your skin on a daily basis, and also perform a weekly facial that exfoliates, nourishes and hydrates the skin.

One of the main advantages of the NowMi treatment is you can perform the treatment at home and it only takes 5 minutes.

Facial for oily skin

Posted on January 13, 2020April 22, 2020 by abigail

If you suffer from oily skin, professional facials are an excellent way to care for your facial skin and ensure it is getting what it needs to look its very best. While there are many different types of facials for oily skin, you should be looking for a facial treatment that performs two actions- deep cleansing and intense nourishment.

Oily skin occurs when the body produces too much sebum. Sebum is a complex mixture of fatty acids, sugars, waxes and other natural ingredients created by the sebaceous glands. Sebum is vital for healthy skin as it coats, moisturizes and protects it.

In order to care for oily skin, the facial skin needs to be frequently cleansed in order to get rid of the excess amounts of sebum. However, this needs to be done with care. It is important to deeply clean the face but not to strip it of all of its moisture and nourishing vitamins and minerals. If the cleansing action is too aggressive, the body receives a signal that the skin is dry and dehydrated and in turn produces even more sebum!

Sebum is formed within the Sebaceous gland

Once the skin has been cleaned and all of its pores are open, you need to add moisture and revitalizing nutrients. This is important in order for the skin be healthy and balanced.

Recommended Professional Facial treatments for Oily Skin

The acids are potent yet gentle, and accelerate cell renewal and smoothen the skin’s surface. Lastly, an oxygen jet infuses a nutrient-rich serum into the skin. The serum consists of a blend of antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins that nourish and soothe the skin, rejuvenate it and give it a glowing look.

Oxygen facial for greasy skin

Posted on January 5, 2020April 22, 2020 by abigail

Dealing with greasy skin can be very frustrating. The greasy facial skin appearance occurs because the skin produces too much sebum. Sebum is an oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands that helps keep the skin moisturized. While sebum is vital for the facial skin, if the body creates too much of it, the skin becomes oily. Another problem is that the sebum reflects light which causes the skin to look greasy.

The good news is that it has never been easier to take care of greasy skin. An oxygen facial treatment for greasy skin performs two vital actions that help the skin keep balanced- it deeply cleanses the skin and rids it of unwanted sebum while at the same time nourishes it so that it doesn’t get dry. The treatment is completely non-invasive, pain-free and has no downtime.

How the professional oxygen facial for greasy skin works?

The oxygen facial in a spa involves several steps. The first step is exfoliation of the skin. During the exfoliation, the outermost layer of the skin is removed. This layer contains dead skin cells, dirt, oil and makeup. By deeply cleansing the skin, the excess layers of sebum are removed and the pores are cleansed. As an aside, the excess sebum tends to clog up the pores which leads to frequent breakouts and acne.

Next, using a specialized spray gun, the facial skin is infused with oxygen. Once the skin cells receive high dosages of oxygen they function better. The oxygen increases the blood circulation in the treatment area and promotes the production of collagen.

In addition to the oxygen, healing vitamins and minerals are also infused into the skin. The exact combination depends on the aesthetician performing the oxygen facial treatment. Some of the most popular serums used are:

1. Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps curb the production of excess sebum and deeply nourishes the skin. It improves the radiance of the skin and protects it from damaging effects of environmental pollution.

2. Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid is excellent for oily skin. It helps the skin maintain moisture and improves its texture and elasticity.

3. Botanical Extracts: The extracts limit the excess production of oil and reduce the size of the pores.

4. Lactic Acid: The lactic acid helps to shrink the size of the pores, improve skin texture and reduce dark spots.

5. Retinol Serum: For those new to Retinol, lower dosages are used. Retinol has been shows to help balance greasy skin.

6. Gr+G Serum: An organic formula that contains grapeseed oil that regulates sebum production and keeps the skin clear. Additionally, it contains vitamin E that moisturizes and nourishes the skin.

The NowMi Oxygen Facial for Greasy Skin

While traditional oxygen facials are great, some people find it hard to fit a spa treatment into their busy schedule. Also, the treatment can be costly and this can pose a barrier.

The NowMi vitamin C oxygen facial treatment was designed to make oxygen facials available to all! The NowMi treatment offers a spa-quality oxygen facial in a home-use device. The treatment takes only 5 minutes and costs a fraction of the price of its spa equivalent.

The NowMi oxygen facial is ideal for treating greasy skin. The treatment performs 4 actions – skin exfoliation, nourishment, skin oxygenation and nourishment.

Skin exfoliation: The skin is gently exfoliated using a vitamin C rich effervescent tablet. While the exfoliation feels very gentle it is highly effective and removes all excess sebum. Additionally, the treatment also uses sonic energy which ensures that every pore is thoroughly cleansed.
Skin nourishment: The skin is infused with pure vitamin C, vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid. The vitamin C helps the facial skin to normalize the production of sebum and remain balanced. The vitamin E nourishes the skin and helps it to look smooth and radiant. The Hyaluronic acid enables the skin to hold onto moisture and prevents it from drying out.
Skin oxygenation: Unlike traditional oxygen treatment, the NowMi treatment oxyg enates itself from within. It does this based on a scientific principle called the Bohr effect. NowMi uses the same science-backed skin oxygenation technology of the OxyGeneo treatment that has been used in professional clinics since 2013. As a result, the treatment area is infused with oxygen and the cells optimally absorb the vitamins.
Skin protection: Vitamin C and vitamin E are powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from harmful UV rays and pollution. The UV rays can dry out the skin and stimulates the excess production of sebum.

NowMi Pro Daily Cleanser

In addition to the NowMi facial treatment, the NowMi Pro device comes with a daily cleanser. The cleanser deeply cleanses the skin and nourishes it with vitamins E, B3, B5 and Dead Sea minerals. The cleanser is applied using silicone fingers and uses sonic energy which ensures that the cleansing gel penetrates and cleans all of the pores.

This is why today is such an exciting period as far as facial skin rejuvenation is concerned! The aesthetic industry has developed enormously over the past 20 years.

All of these preventative measure will slow down the signs of aging.

Facial skin rejuvenation treatments

Dermabrasion: Dermabrasion treatments use a special instrument to remove the uppermost layer of the skin. The treatment helps to reduce deep acne scars, sun damage and brown spots. It also makes the skin feel smoother and younger.

Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is slightly milder than dermabrasion and is a non-invasive procedure that uses a spray of micro-crystals to remove the outermost layer of skin that contains dry, dead skin cells. Following the exfoliation, the skin looks younger and healthier. Today, the treatment is also combined with anti-aging serums in order to achieve long-lasting facial skin rejuvenation results.

Meso Therapy: Meso Therapy uses injections of vitamins, hormones, enzymes and plant extracts to rejuvenate the skin.

Carbon Peeling: Carbon peels have gained popularity over the years. During treatment, a think layer of carbon powder is applied onto the face. The powder is then heated up and removed using a Q-switched laser. The treatment exfoliates the skin, improves its tone, reduces large pores and tightens the skin.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP): PRP uses the plasma in your blood to revitalize your skin. The blood is extracted from your body, processed and then injected into the treatment area. The treatment infuses the skin with collagen which helps the skin look and feel younger.

Photorejuvenation: Photorejuvenation uses different light-based technologies such as lasers or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to rejuvenate the skin. The treatment effectively reduces pigmentation, wrinkles and fine lines. It also stimulates the production of new collagen which revitalizes the skin.

Oxy Facial: The Oxy Facial or Jet Facial is a non-invasive and relaxing treatment. During treatment the skin is infused with oxygen and other vitamins and minerals which revitalize and reinvigorate it. The treatment boosts lymphatic drainage and leaves the skin glowing.

HIFU: High intensity focused ultrasound is used to target and treat the deeper layers of the skin. The HIFU lifts and targets the skin and is recommended for individuals with sagging skin around the eyes and chin.

Facial fillers: The treatment uses injectable gels to iron out wrinkles and fine lines, fill up scars and other depressions on the skin and give the skin a youthful and smooth appearance.

The benefits of vitamin C on facial skin

Posted on November 11, 2018July 2, 2020 by abigail

Our skin is the largest organ in the body and its primary function is to protect our internal organs from the hostile environment. It protects us from pathogens, UV radiation, mechanical impacts, pollution, dangerous chemicals and dehydration.

The two main layers of the skin are the epidermis and dermis. The external layer, the epidermis, is the cellular layer that protects our internal organs. The dermis is the internal layer of the facial skin which provides elasticity and strength, as well as nutrition to the epidermal layer. The dermis is mainly composed of collagen fibers and has a complex network of vascular, lymphatic and neurons.

Facial skin contains high concentrations of vitamin C. The highest concentration is in the epidermis -about 60 (mg/100 g Wet Weight) compared with 10 (mg/100 g Wet Weight) in the dermis. Unfortunately with age, facial skin rapidly loses this essential and protecting nutrient. Clinical studies shown that aged skin loses 70% of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) concentrations compared with young skin. As the concentrations of vitamin C decrease, facial skin becomes more vulnerable to the external environment and starts to age. Regretfully, human beings are unable to synthesize vitamin C in their bodies and must rely on oral intake of ascorbic acid or topical application of vitamin C.

How does vitamin C help the skin?

Anti-aging benefits: The dermis provides elasticity and strength to the facial skin. Its main structure is collagen fibers and clinical studies have shown that from the age of about 20 we lose about 1% of collagen fibers in the skin every year, primarily due to sun exposure. In simple words, without any treatment, at age of 35, we have already lost approximately 15% the collagen fibers in our facial skin. This results in thinner skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Therefore, vitamin C is essential for the production of new collagen fibers and its decrease results in collagen degradation.

Anti-inflammatory benefits: Vitamin C is an anti-inflammatory nutrient that helps to counter age-related inflammatory skin conditions such as Rosacea. It also promotes wound healing and prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Skin whitening benefits: Vitamin C decreases the formation of melanin. It therefore aids in skin lightening, helps the skin maintain an even tone and repairs pigmentation damage.

Protects skin from sun damage: UV rays from the sun cause photodamage which decreases the production of collagen. This results connective tissue disruptions, damage to blood vessels, and impairment of the wound healing process. Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant capable of neutralizing the free radicals caused by the UV rays. In addition, ascorbic acid increases the collagen synthesis and cross-linking and helps the skin repair itself, therefore reversing the UV-induced photodamage.

The biologically active form of vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Unfortunately, ascorbic acid is a very unstable molecule, yet this is actually the condition that makes it a powerful anti-oxidant. When ascorbic acid degrades (as a result of exposure to light and oxygen) it loses its benefits to the facial skin, and its color turns from white to yellow-brown.

In order for your skin to benefit the most from vitamin C you need to use pure and un-degraded ascorbic acid. If you are using a topical product like vitamin C serum or vit C cream, and its color is already yellow, it most likely contains a degraded form of vitamin C and is useless.

The NowMi Treatment:

Facial treatments typically involve multiple steps that cleanse, exfoliate and nourish the skin in order to provide a clearer, more rejuvenated, and well-hydrated complexion. Oxygen facial treatments in particular are known for their skin revitalization and anti-aging attributes.

The NowMi facial treatment is the latest advancement in oxygen facial treatments. The treatment consists of 4 simultaneous actions – exfoliation of the outer layer of the skin, infusion of essential nutrients and oxygenation of the treatment area from within the skin for optimal absorption and efficacy of the infused nutrients. In addition to these three steps which are performed in most professional facial treatments, the NowMi treatment adds a critical fourth step of skin protection. The protection is achieved by infusing the skin with pure vitamin C, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid.

The vitamin C in the NowMi treatment is in the form of ascorbic acid. It comes in an effervescent tablet which is sealed by a protective sachet from light and humidity. This ensures that the purest and most potent levels of ascorbic acid penetrate the skin.

How does the NowMi treatment work?

The NowMi treatment performs 4 skin actions simultaneously:

Exfoliation – The exfoliation is performed using the vitamin C effervescent tablet. The tablet has a slightly coarse surface which gently removes the most external layer of the skin. The exfoliation deeply cleanses the skin and removes all dead skin cells, dirt and oil. It also opens up the pores so that they optimally absorb the active ingredients.
a
Nourishment – The interaction between the effervescent tablet and the gel creates micro CO₂bubbles which deliver vitamin C, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid into the skin and restore its depleted reserves. Research has shown that when taken orally, the absorption levels of vitamin C are very low, and only a fraction of the quantity taken is used by the body and active in the skin. Therefore, in order to effectively nourish the skin, the vitamin C is best applied topically. The ascorbic acid contained in the NowMi tablet is of the highest level of purity. This makes the tablet incredibly effective since unlike any other product on the market, the vitamin C isn’t exposed to air and light, factors which dramatically degrade its quality. By adding vitamin C, the skin is nourished with effective anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti- pigmentary agents. The vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid help the skin maintain its moisture and firmness, and the vitamin E further enhances the effectiveness of the vitamin C.
a
Oxygenation – The interaction between the gel and tablet creates micro CO₂bubbles that penetrate the skin’s surface. In response to the increase in CO₂levels, a physiological response called the Bohr Effect is triggered, and the body sends oxygen rich blood to the target area. This increases the capillary flow and the skin’s metabolism which results in the optimal absorption of the active ingredients and more rapid cell turnover.
a
Protection – Vitamin C is the most prevalent antioxidant in the human skin and can be found in large concentrations in the dermal and epidermal skin layers. Unfortunately, the body is unable to produce vitamin C and serious deficiencies can even lead to disease.

As we age, the concentration of the antioxidants, including vitamin C decreases, and aged skin is said to have 70% less antioxidant concentrations compared to younger skin. As the concentrations decrease, the skin becomes more vulnerable to damaging extrinsic factors such as solar UV radiation, pollution and smoking. These factors are known to cause ‘oxidative stress’ which rapidly accelerates damage caused to the skin. While the antioxidants shield against the oxidative stress, excessive exposure can overwhelm the defense mechanism and result in photoaging, immunosuppression and photocarcinogenesis. Clinical studies have shown that vitamin C creates a photoprotective effect against photoaging. The vitamin curbs collagen disintegration and pigment damage. Most importantly, vitamin C helps to stabilize the collagen fibers and produces new collagen.
