The Bohr Effect -- Glo2 Facials in depth

The Bohr Effect in Action

Increased levels of CO2 on the surface of the skin will send signals to the body to send oxygen rich blood to the affected area. “The Bohr Effect causes the muscles and tissues to release more oxygen when CO2 levels rise. This helps deliver oxygen to metabolizing tissue. This process is important because it enhances delivery of oxygen to the muscles and tissues where metabolism is occurring, and carbon dioxide is being produced, delivering oxygen where it is most needed.”

Why Oxygenation?

A NEW PLAYER: Glo2

3 TECHNOLOGIES, 1 INNOVATIVE SKINCARE PLATFORM
Every Glo2 facial delivers highly effective ingredients through the Glo2 OxyPod technology and Geneo serum, combining nourishing ingredients with 3 clinically proven technologies.

STEP 1: OXYGENATION
OxyPods Create Oxygen — WITHIN The Skin — Not Just On The Skin

The oxygenation process promotes exfoliation and enhances the penetration of ingredients into the skin. Our unique, natural Glo2 OxyPod, which holds a specific combination of active ingredients in their suspended state, reacts with the Primer Gel, creating a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation. Their synchronized effect is based on innovations in biology, chemistry and technology. The resulting bubbly, CO2 rich environment on the skin’s surface, triggers the body’s natural, physiological process of increased oxygen levels internally. When the oxypod and primer gel combine, desincrustation occurs as increased levels of oxygen are carried to the surface of the skin. The skin is then softened and prepped for extractions and other corrective treatments.

STEP 2: ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound Waves Stimulate And Condition The Skin For Treatment

In the next step of the facial, Ultrasound heat waves stimulate micro-vibrations in the skin, delivering instant smoothing results on the surface. Small vibrations increase the permeability of the skin's innermost layer of the epidermis. The basal cells in this layer, continually divide, pushing older ones up towards the surface of the skin, where they eventually shed. Lending to beneficial cell turnover.

STEP 3: NEO-MASSAGE
Finish With A Relaxing, NourishingMassage

The facial finishes with the Neo-Massage step, locking in the power of Glo2 and increasing circulation. The neo-massage step delivers instant reduction in redness and puffiness as well as diminished appearance of acne, while further deeply infusing the active ingredients of the Glo2 Serum. The massage head also provides increase blood flow while relaxing facial muscles and pressure points to diminish unwanted expression lines.

Why Oxygenation?

A question that you may be asking yourself is, why oxygenate the skin when we come in contact with O2 every second of our lives? Oxygen is disseminated through our lungs to touch every inch of our bodies, including our integumentary system. Just like all of our organs, our skin needs to breathe to absorb the essential vitamins and nutrients to survive. For instance, a wound relies on oxygen to maintain cellular function, create new blood vessels and stimulate growth factors, to heal the skin. After a long flight, you may be wondering why your skin is left dry and dehydrated, its because lower oxygen levels negatively impact our skin. Our skin desperately needs oxygen to function properly and to maintain healthy properties. Direct contact with oxygen touching our skin is only so effective, as true results come from leveraging the body’s internal production of O2.
