Face treatments · Signature Intraceuticals treatment
The oxygen facial propels hyaluronic acid serums into the skin by means of hyperbaric oxygen. At Photoderma, this Intraceuticals signature instantly plumps the epidermis, tightens pores, softens lines and triggers the glow effect from the moment you leave the treatment room.
The clinic sums it up this way: "Like Hollywood stars, treat yourself to an Intraceuticals oxygen facial!" Two signature protocols and one Atoxelene add-on make it possible to calibrate the session to your skin type, from deep hydration to vitamin C brightening.
Treatment present on the red carpet
"Like Hollywood stars, treat yourself to an Intraceuticals oxygen facial."
— Clinique Photoderma, source treatment sheet
Present at the Golden Globes, the Oscars and the famed Victoria's Secret runway, the Intraceuticals oxygen facial is now part of the routine of Hollywood's elite. Originally popularized by Madonna, it has become the favored anti-aging treatment of celebrities.
The names listed on the Photoderma sheet:
The same protocol, the same serums, the same hyperbaric oxygen technology — adapted in-cabin by a technician who reads your skin and adjusts pressure, cadence and actives to your needs. No "watered-down" version: the Intraceuticals range used in Laval is the same one found backstage in Hollywood.
How does it work?
The result comes from the meeting of two patented technologies: low-molecular-weight serums rich in hyaluronic acid, and hyperbaric oxygen that compresses them into the deeper layers of the skin. Three technical pillars — to read before your session.
I
The molecule is intentionally shortened to cross the stratum corneum. Intraceuticals serums are made of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants and peptides — a cocktail that saturates the skin with active ingredients rather than simply "sitting" the ingredient on the surface.
II
It is the vector: highly pressurized oxygen compresses the serums through the stratum corneum into the deeper layers of the epidermis. Immediate result according to the source sheet: skin is instantly "plumped," pores tighten, lines soften.
III
Saturated with active ingredients, the facial skin is instantly rejuvenated, firmer and benefits from deep hydration. In a cure, the treatment prevents cellular aging and remains, according to the clinic, one of the most popular rejuvenating treatments.
In each serum, according to the source sheet:
The three available treatments
The clinic sheet states that there are three types of treatments. Two signature protocols follow one another — one for thirsty skin, the other for complexion uniformity — and the Atoxelene add-on targets expression lines more specifically.
Protocol 01 · Signature hydration
For all skin types. Supple, velvety, luminous skin. Softened wrinkles and fine lines — word for word what the source sheet announces.
Protocol 02 · Botanical brightening
Botanical brightening and concentrated in vitamin C, combined with the signature hydrating serum. To balance uneven pigmentation and leave the skin radiant and luminous.
Add-on 03 · Atoxelene
An add-on, not a stand-alone protocol, per the sheet. Atoxelene is designed to transform your skin quickly: it softens and smooths the texture while reducing expression lines.
The complete brand ranges, and the products to extend the effect at home, are presented on the Products · Intraceuticals page. The technology and devices used in-cabin are described on the Technologies · Intraceuticals sheet.
Treatments related to this one
The Photoderma clinic sheet explicitly links the oxygen facial to the traditional facial treatment. Each one plays its role: the facial treatment prepares the epidermis, the oxygen facial pushes the actives further.
Before you book
It is a signature anti-aging treatment by Intraceuticals in which low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid serums are propelled into the skin using hyperbaric oxygen. The active ingredients — vitamins, antioxidants, peptides — reach the deeper layers, instantly plump the epidermis and trigger the glow effect reported by the clinic.
The clinic sheet names two signature protocols plus one add-on. The first delivers a radiant effect through deep hydration for all skin types. The second is a botanical vitamin C brightening treatment for uneven pigmentation. The Atoxelene add-on targets expression lines and refreshes the face.
The Intraceuticals treatment is present at the Golden Globes, the Oscars and the Victoria's Secret runway. Originally popularized by Madonna, it is part of the routine of Naomi Campbell, Eva Longoria, Gwyneth Paltrow, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Fergie and Kim Kardashian, among other names listed on the Photoderma sheet.
Yes. Serums delivered under pressurized oxygen instantly "plump" the skin: pores tighten, lines soften and the face shines with a spectacular glow as soon as you leave the treatment room. In a cure, the treatment prevents cellular aging and becomes one of the most popular rejuvenating treatments in the range.
Yes. The source sheet explicitly links the oxygen facial to the clinic's facial treatment. The latter prepares the epidermis — cleansing, extraction, baseline hydration — then the Intraceuticals protocol pushes the active ingredients deeper thanks to hyperbaric oxygen. The team sets the order based on your skin.
