HydraFacial and Oxygeneo are two of the most popular medical facials in Abu Dhabi. Both give a visible glow with no downtime, but they work differently and suit different skin concerns.
HydraFacial
HydraFacial deep-cleanses, exfoliates and uses painless suction to clear blackheads and congested pores, then infuses hydrating serums. It suits oily or congested skin, blackheads, enlarged pores and dehydrated skin. A session takes about 30 to 40 minutes.
Oxygeneo
Oxygeneo exfoliates the surface while a capsule releases active ingredients and creates an oxygenating effect from within the skin. It suits dull, uneven or tired skin and pigmentation-prone skin, and many people like it before an event.
Quick comparison
- Best for blackheads and pores: HydraFacial
- Best for dullness and uneven tone: Oxygeneo
- Downtime: none for either
- How often: every 3 to 4 weeks for a course
Want more than a facial?
For acne marks, open pores and fine lines, combining a facial with microneedling gives longer-term results. SSMC’s Facial and Dermapen Combo is AED 299, or AED 749 for three sessions.
