The OxyGeneo Facial is a 90-minute treatment that exfoliates, infuses and oxygenates the skin in a single pass using the OxyGeneo system. At Flourish TCM Clinic in Yaletown, Vancouver, it starts at $230 and is performed by Mina Gharnian, skin care practitioner.
People who want brighter, smoother-looking skin without downtime: skin that looks dull, dehydrated or congested, uneven tone, or the first fine lines. Because makeup waits until the next morning, many people book it a day or two before an event. The ExoFirm and Premium options suit people whose main goal is firmer-looking skin.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a clear, glowing complexion is understood as a reflection of healthy circulation of Qi and blood to the face.
Mina's approach pairs the device work with attention to what your skin is showing: dryness, congestion, sensitivity. The plan fits your skin as it is on the day.
The clinic uses the Pollogen GENEO+ (OxyGeneo and TriPollar).
OxyGeneo combines three actions in one pass. A textured capsule (the OxyPod) gently exfoliates the surface. As it reacts with a treatment gel, it releases tiny CO₂ bubbles on the skin. The skin responds by drawing oxygen-rich blood to the area, a natural process known as the Bohr effect. At the same time, the gel infuses active ingredients chosen for your skin. In the Clinical 4-in-1, the fourth step is LED light, a second masque or TriPollar radiofrequency, depending on your skin type.
Tonight, change your pillowcase and face towel. Until the next morning: no makeup, exercise, sauna or hot tub. If your skin feels irritated, 2–3 hours after you get home remove all makeup and skin care, then go back to your own products. Skip exfoliating products and retinoids for 48 hours, wear SPF daily, and keep skin hydrated. From the next morning: wash your hands, cleanse with a mild cleanser, spray thermal spring water, apply 3–4 drops of serum and finish with sunscreen. In the evening, the same steps without sunscreen. Planning cosmetic injections? Please wait at least 24 hours after this facial. Mina explains your aftercare after the session, and we email you the clinic's aftercare guide (a PDF).

OxyGeneo is a facial technology developed by Pollogen that combines three actions in one pass: gentle exfoliation, infusion of active ingredients, and a natural oxygenation effect. At Flourish TCM Clinic in Yaletown, it runs on the Pollogen GENEO+ device and is used in the OxyGeneo Facial options.
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of visible and near-infrared light on the skin. At Flourish TCM Clinic, an LED light panel can be the fourth step of the OxyGeneo Clinical 4-in-1 facial, and it's also used in the ExoFirm facial, in Back Acne Treatment and to calm the skin after microneedling.
TriPollar is a radiofrequency (RF) technology developed by Pollogen that gently warms the deeper layers of the skin, used to support firmness on the face, neck and jawline. At Flourish TCM Clinic, it is used in TriPollar RF Skin Tightening and, for some skin types, as the fourth step of the OxyGeneo Clinical 4-in-1.
