Oxygen Benefits Your Skin
Oxygen is essential for radiant, young-looking skin. It assists in the production of collagen and elastin, as well as with skin repair and regeneration. As we age, the body's ability to deliver oxygen to dermal tissue deteriorates. A lack of oxygen at the cellular level can cause skin to age prematurely, increasing the appearance of fine lines and age spots, making skin look dry and dull. Oxygen therapies enhance the overall appearance and feel of your skin, leaving it smoother and healthier-looking.
