What it is

An oxygen facial is a non-invasive facial that delivers pressurised oxygen together with hydrating serums onto the skin to cleanse, hydrate and refresh the complexion. It is gentle and has no downtime.

It is a surface-level facial that pairs a stream of pressurised oxygen with a serum tailored to your skin. The skin is first cleansed, then oxygen is used to help drive hydrating and nourishing ingredients onto the surface, finishing with skin that feels refreshed and looks clearer.

The aim is hydration and comfort rather than resurfacing or peeling. There is no acid and no needling, so the treatment stays gentle on the skin barrier and suits people who want a refresh without irritation or recovery time. It can be used on its own as a maintenance facial or scheduled around events when you want the skin looking its best.

In Dubai’s climate, air conditioning and sun can leave skin looking dull and dehydrated. An oxygen facial focuses on putting moisture and comfort back into the skin, and is suited to most skin types because it is non-abrasive.

Who it's for

An oxygen facial suits skin that looks dull, tired or dehydrated and would benefit from a gentle lift in clarity and moisture. Because it is non-abrasive and acid-free, it is a comfortable option for sensitive skin and for anyone who wants a refresh without flaking or downtime — including before an event, after travel, or as part of regular skin maintenance.

It is a surface treatment, so it is better matched to hydration and radiance than to deeper concerns such as established lines, scarring or pigmentation, which call for other approaches. Your clinician confirms whether an oxygen facial is the right fit, or recommends an alternative, at consultation.

  • Dull, tired-looking skin
  • Dry and dehydrated skin
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Early fine lines from dehydration
  • Sensitive skin that reacts easily

Who it’s not for

A few situations mean it’s better to wait, or to choose a different treatment:

  • An active skin infection in the treatment area
  • Severe, active or inflamed acne
  • A known allergy to any of the serums or ingredients used
  • Very reactive skin or an active flare of an inflammatory skin condition

This isn’t exhaustive, and none of it rules you out on its own — your clinician confirms suitability at consultation.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Cleanse & assess

    Your skin is cleansed and your clinician selects a serum suited to your skin and concern, so the facial is matched rather than one-size-fits-all.

  2. 02

    Oxygen & serum

    Pressurised oxygen is passed over the skin to help drive the hydrating serum onto the surface. The treatment is cool and comfortable, with no scratching or stinging.

  3. 03

    Finish & protect

    Hydrating products and a broad-spectrum SPF are applied to finish. Skin looks fresh straight away and you can return to your day with no downtime.

Physician note

On Oxygen Facial

I think of the oxygen facial as a gentle hydration treatment rather than a fix for structural concerns. Its strengths are comfort and immediacy: it suits sensitive skin, it has no downtime, and it is a sensible choice when you want the complexion looking its best without irritating the barrier. For deeper lines, pigmentation or scarring I would point you towards a more targeted treatment, which we can discuss at consultation.

Questions

01What is an oxygen facial?
It is a non-invasive facial that delivers pressurised oxygen together with hydrating serums onto the skin to cleanse, hydrate and refresh the complexion. It is gentle, acid-free and has no downtime.
02Is there any downtime after an oxygen facial?
No. The treatment is non-abrasive, so skin looks fresh straight away and you can resume normal activities immediately, including make-up later in the day if you wish.
03Is an oxygen facial suitable for sensitive skin?
Because it uses no acids and no needling, an oxygen facial is generally a comfortable option for sensitive skin. Your clinician reviews your skin and any reactions first and confirms suitability at consultation.
04How often should I have an oxygen facial?
Many people have it as a regular maintenance facial or schedule it around events when they want the skin looking refreshed. Your clinician suggests a cadence based on your skin and goals.
05How is this different from a HydraFacial?
Both are gentle, no-downtime facials, but they work differently: a HydraFacial uses vortex suction to cleanse and exfoliate while infusing serums, whereas an oxygen facial uses pressurised oxygen with serums and focuses on hydration and refresh rather than exfoliation. Your clinician can help you choose between them.
06What does an Oxygen Facial cost at Shookra?
Pricing depends on the serum used and whether the facial is part of a wider plan. Message us on WhatsApp and the team will share current pricing and help you book.
