An oxygen facial is recommended when skin looks flat or dehydrated and would benefit from a gentle hydrating treatment. At Omniya in Knightsbridge, the treatment delivers a gentle stream of pure oxygen under light pressure alongside a serum of vitamins, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. There are no needles, no peeling and no planned downtime.
Allow 60 to 90 minutes. Treatments start from £180.

Dehydrated skin may appear dull and lack radiance because it lacks hyaluronic acid, rather than oil. When the skin’s moisture levels are low, makeup may not sit as smoothly and fine lines can appear more noticeable. Dehydration can affect any skin type, including oily skin, so simply applying a richer moisturiser isn’t always enough to address it.
Hydration is a fundamental starting point for healthy, radiant skin. The complexion may look fresher, dehydration lines can soften and the surface can look more even. Hydration improvement is generally visible after a single appointment. If you suffer from redness or blotchiness, this can often look calmer too.
It is also important to set the right treatment boundary. It does not treat acne or rosacea. Persistent acne, active inflammation, melasma and significant skin laxity all sit outside what oxygen infusion can achieve, and each points towards a different treatment. If your concern is one of those, we will explain during your skin assessment which treatments would be suitable for your individual skin needs.
Your appointment begins with a conversation about your skin and what you would like to improve. We will ask about your skincare routine, any sensitivity and recent treatments, as well as your medical history and medication. This allows us to tailor the treatment by selecting an Intraceuticals serum specifically suited to your skin’s individual needs.
After cleansing, your aesthetician uses a specialised handpiece to apply pure oxygen under light pressure, together with the customised serum. The oxygen stream feels cool and light on the skin. There is no heat or abrasion, and the treatment is generally comfortable throughout.
Your 60 to 90 minute appointment includes cleansing, mild exfoliation, the oxygen infusion and advice on caring for your skin afterwards. You can apply makeup immediately and return to your usual activities, although some skin may look slightly pink or feel sensitive for a short time.

Your appointment begins with an assessment of your skin. Your aesthetician asks about your skincare routine, any sensitivity, recent treatments, your medical history, medication, allergies and any previous reaction to skincare or clinical treatment. That discussion helps us decide whether to treat, which serum to use and how to adjust the technique.
Some findings stop treatment on the day. Active infection, cold sores, severe inflamed acne, open wounds and recent sunburn all mean we postpone. Certain medical conditions, and medications that thin the skin, may make the facial unsuitable. With a history of reaction to a skincare ingredient, your aesthetician will advise whether the serum can be adapted or whether waiting is the better course.
Other findings shape the treatment plan. Sensitive and acne-prone skin can usually be treated well, provided it is calm on the day. Serum choice is part of that decision. If stronger facials have left you uncomfortable in the past, say so at the start; it changes what we select.
Cleansing comes first, and it removes makeup and SPF, so there is no reason to arrive without your usual sun protection.
Your aesthetician then works across the face with a specialised handpiece, applying pure oxygen under light pressure together with the chosen serum. The sensation is cool and light. There is no heat, no needling and no abrasive exfoliation, and the treatment is comfortable throughout for most patients. Tell your aesthetician if anything feels otherwise, because the pressure and pace can be adjusted as they go.
Your 60 to 90 minute appointment covers cleansing, the oxygen infusion and aftercare advice. You can apply makeup immediately and go on with your day. Some skin looks slightly pink or feels sensitive for a short while afterwards; this settles quickly.
An improvement in hydration and radiance is usually visible straight after treatment. Results may last around four weeks, depending on your skin, home care and environmental conditions.
If you want more consistency, a course of three to six sessions spaced three to four weeks apart gives your aesthetician room to work on hydration and tone across successive appointments, adjusting the serum as the skin responds. Maintenance every four to six weeks can then help sustain the result. A single facial before an occasion is an entirely reasonable use of the treatment, and we will say so if that is all your skin needs. There is no planned downtime, so an appointment in the week before an event works well. For a first oxygen facial, leave a few days to see how your skin behaves.
An oxygen facial can also sit within a larger plan. It supports the skin between laser, microneedling and peels, and your practitioner will set the spacing around whatever else you are having so that nothing is treated too soon after something stronger. The order matters as much as the interval.
A standard oxygen facial starts from £180. We explain the cost of any course or Luxe treatment before your first appointment.
varies per patient
Preparation is short but it matters, because the condition of the skin barrier on the day determines how comfortable the treatment is.
Afterwards, keep using sun protection and follow your aesthetician’s advice on when to reintroduce active products. Avoid bringing strong actives back too quickly if your skin feels sensitive.
Oxygen facials are gentle and generally well tolerated, but we always check that treatment is suitable for your skin. We will postpone treatment over an active infection, including cold sores or severe inflamed acne, open wounds or recent sunburn. Certain medical conditions and medications that thin the skin may also make the facial unsuitable.
Please tell us about allergies, medication and previous reactions to skincare or treatments. Your aesthetician can then advise whether the serum can be adapted or whether it would be better to wait.
An oxygen facial is well suited to dull, dry or dehydrated skin. It can also be a gentle option for sensitive or acne-prone complexions once the skin has been assessed.
Our facials address different concerns, and part of the assessment is establishing which one fits.
Congestion, blackheads and breakouts respond better to OmniClear, which is built around cleansing and careful manual extraction. For exfoliation alongside oxygen infusion, HydrOxy combines an oxygen facial with the cleansing and hydrating stages of HydraFacial in one appointment. When firmness is a concern as well as hydration, HydraTite pairs HydraFacial with radiofrequency.
If you are not sure whether an oxygen facial is the right starting point, our skin analysis provides a fuller assessment and a set of recommendations to work from.
During an Oxygen Facial, a specialised handpiece delivers a pressurised stream of oxygen combined with a bespoke serum, often enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants, across the skin’s surface. This helps the active ingredients penetrate deeply, improving hydration, circulation, and collagen production. The oxygen itself has anti-inflammatory properties, which can calm irritation and refresh dull or tired skin.
The Oxygen Facial delivers instant radiance with lasting hydration. Patients often notice:
It’s ideal before special occasions or as part of a regular skin maintenance plan.
For optimal results, we typically recommend a course of three to six sessions, spaced three to four weeks apart, to support long-term hydration and tone. Your aesthetician will tailor the frequency to your skin’s individual needs.
Oxygen Facials are gentle and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, they may not be performed if you have:
Please inform your practitioner of any medications, allergies, or recent treatments (such as laser, peels, or retinoid use) so we can adjust your facial safely.
Yes – Oxygen Facials work beautifully alongside many of our treatments for enhanced results
One of our most popular combinations is the HydrOxy Facial, which merges the exfoliating and hydrating benefits of HydraFacial with the oxygen infusion technology of the Oxygen Facial.
This synergy boosts circulation, refines skin texture, and deeply hydrates for a visibly smoother and more radiant complexion.
Your treatment will be carried out by one of our highly trained medical aestheticians, each with extensive experience in advanced skin rejuvenation techniques. At Omniya, your comfort, safety, and results are always our priority.
A single appointment can improve hydration and radiance, making it a good option before an occasion. If you would like to maintain the results or work on tone and clarity over time, your aesthetician may recommend a course.
The oxygen stream feels cool and light, and the facial is generally comfortable. There is no heat, needling or abrasive exfoliation. Let your aesthetician know if you feel any discomfort so they can adjust your treatment.
It can be a suitable choice. We will review your skin and any previous reactions before selecting the serum. If your skin is actively inflamed, we may suggest postponing the facial or considering another treatment first.
There is no planned downtime, so an appointment in the week before an event is usually suitable. For your first oxygen facial, allow a few days to see how your skin responds.
