The OxyGeneo Facial Benefits, Results and What to Expect
Your skin is trying to tell you something. Perhaps it has lost the glow it once had. Perhaps it feels dull after a long flight, tired after too many late nights, or simply less like itself after months of heat, humidity, and the quiet weight of everyday life.
You may have tried serums, sunscreen, and the occasional face mask, yet still feel that your skin is missing something.
The OxyGeneo facial was developed to address several concerns in a single treatment. Combining exfoliation, oxygenation, and nutrient infusion, it is designed to refresh the skin’s appearance while supporting a healthier-looking complexion. At Akoya Spa in Ubud, we offer this technology as our Super Facial 3-in-1 treatment.
This article answers every question you might have before you come in.
What is an OxyGeneo facial?
An OxyGeneo facial is a non-invasive skin treatment that combines three technologies in a single session: exfoliation, oxygenation, and infusion. Rather than treating the skin only from the outside, it uses a physiological process called the Bohr Effect to encourage your body to oxygenate itself naturally from within.
The result is skin that looks brighter, feels smoother, and behaves younger, after just one session.
It is suitable for all skin types, requires no recovery time, and is one of the gentlest yet genuinely effective facial treatments available today.
How the OxyGeneo facial works
The OxyGeneo facial treatment follows three steps, each building on the last.
Exfoliate
The treatment begins with gentle exfoliation. A specially designed capsule is applied to the skin, producing a rich stream of CO2 micro-bubbles. These bubbles lift away dead skin cells, clear clogged pores, and prepare the skin to receive the next step.
Oxygenate
The CO2 micro-bubbles trigger the Bohr Effect, a natural physiological response in which your body sends oxygen-rich blood to the skin’s surface to replace the carbon dioxide. This is oxygenation from within, not sprayed on from a machine. Your body produces it. The treatment simply creates the conditions for it to happen.
Infuse
As oxygenation occurs, active ingredients penetrate the skin at the ideal moment, when pores are open and cellular activity is at its highest. At Akoya Spa, this step uses our Geneo technology to deliver nutrients and skin-renewing compounds directly into the layers where they can work most effectively.
After these three steps, the Akoya Super Facial continues with Tripollar RF energy and ultrasound technology, further tightening the skin and stimulating collagen production for longer-lasting results.
What the OxyGeneo facial machine does
The OxyGeneo facial machine is a professional-grade device that precisely controls and delivers each phase of the treatment. It is not a simple steamer or a standard microdermabrasion tool. The machine coordinates the CO2 capsule application, guides the oxygenation process, and delivers ultrasound waves and radiofrequency energy to maximise the infusion of active ingredients into the skin.
At Akoya Spa, our therapists receive ongoing training from accredited Swiss spa professionals and know how to tailor each treatment to your skin type, specific concerns, and the results you hope to achieve.
What skin concerns does it treat?
The OxyGeneo facial is effective for a wide range of skin concerns.
Dull or uneven skin tone that has lost its natural radiance. Fine lines and the early signs of ageing that benefit from collagen stimulation. Dry or dehydrated skin that needs deep nourishment from within. Congested or clogged pores that require thorough yet gentle cleansing. Sensitive skin that cannot tolerate more aggressive treatments. Post-travel skin in need of rapid restoration before the next adventure.
Because it uses no harsh chemicals and causes no downtime, it is also an ideal treatment before a special occasion, a wedding, or any event where you want your skin to look its very best.
How long does an OxyGeneo facial last
This is one of the questions we hear most often, and the honest answer is that it depends on your skin and your home routine.
After a single session, most guests notice visible improvements immediately: a brighter complexion, smoother texture, and a more even tone. These immediate results typically last between four and six weeks.
The deeper benefits, such as improved collagen production and long-term hydration, are cumulative. With regular monthly sessions, the improvements build on each other and last considerably longer. Guests who come consistently tend to maintain results continuously, with their skin steadily improving between visits.
A good skincare routine at home, including daily SPF protection and adequate hydration, will also meaningfully extend the results of each session.
How long does the treatment take
Our Super Facial 3-in-1 takes 60 minutes. This includes the full OxyGeneo sequence of exfoliation, oxygenation, and infusion, combined with Tripollar RF, OxyGeneo, and ultrasound for a comprehensive result.
There is no preparation required beforehand and no recovery period afterwards. You can arrive for your session and return to your day with glowing skin.
What it feels like
Guests often describe the OxyGeneo facial as one of the most comfortable skin treatments they have ever experienced. The exfoliation feels like a gentle massage. The oxygenation phase produces a warm, pleasant tingling sensation on the skin. The radiofrequency and ultrasound steps feel like a slow, steady warmth moving across the face.
There is typically no pain or redness, and most guests experience no post-treatment sensitivity.
The OxyGeneo facial at Akoya Spa
At Akoya Spa, this treatment is at the heart of our advanced facial menu, offered alongside our Balinese Facial and Microdermabrasion. It reflects everything Akoya stands for: the meeting of proven Western science with a deeply personal, unhurried approach to care.
Our therapists take time to understand your skin before they begin, adjusting the active ingredients and the depth of treatment to what your skin needs on that particular day. No two sessions are exactly alike, because no two guests arrive in exactly the same condition.
The Super Facial 3-in-1 is available exclusively at the spa. We recommend booking in advance, as it is among our most requested treatments.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes. Many guests choose to add Celluma LED Light Therapy as a 15-minute add-on to their session. This treatment uses clinically proven LED wavelengths to further calm inflammation, stimulate cellular repair, and deepen the radiance achieved through the OxyGeneo sequence.
You may also choose to follow your facial with a relaxation bath, a body scrub, or one of our signature massages, turning your visit into a longer journey of restoration.
Who is it suited for
The OxyGeneo facial is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is particularly well-suited for guests who are new to advanced facial treatments, those who want visible results without discomfort or downtime, and anyone who has found chemical peels or microneedling too intense in the past.
If you are pregnant or have any active skin conditions, please let us know at the time of booking so we can advise you on the best approach.
Your invitation to brighter skin
There is a moment, usually about halfway through the treatment, when guests go very quiet. Not because something is wrong, but because everything feels right. The warmth on the face. The stillness of the room. The sense that the skin is finally doing something it has needed to do for a long time.
That is the OxyGeneo facial effect. And it is waiting for you at Akoya Spa.
