Curious about
Skin Wave?

What is the
Skin Wave?

The Skin Wave is our hydro-facial: a handpiece that moves water and active solutions across the skin in a controlled vortex.

The flow works in stages. Cleansing solution loosens oil and buildup, gentle suction lifts congestion from pores without any squeezing, and the final pass infuses hydrating and antioxidant serums into the clean surface.

It’s the treatment for skin that feels both congested and thirsty, which, in a Midwest winter, describes nearly everyone.

Your esthetician tunes the solutions to your skin that day, from acne-prone formulas to deep hydration blends.

Water and suction clear congestion comfortably, no manual pressure required.

Serums infuse into freshly cleared skin and keep it supple for a week or more.

Formulas swap per skin type: brightening, calming, clarifying, or deeply hydrating.

Walk out event-ready. Makeup applies better after, not worse.

When skin is congested and thirsty at once, water solves both.

The Skin Wave suits nearly every skin type, which makes honesty about goals the real consult question: clearing, hydrating, or simply maintaining.

Pores Feel Congested

Blackheads and buildup lift out in the vortex without a single squeeze.

Skin Drinks Nothing In

Dehydrated skin that shrugs off moisturizer needs infusion past the surface.

Makeup Sits Poorly

Foundation glides over hydrated, decongested skin instead of clinging to dry patches.

You Want a Reliable Monthly Reset

A maintenance facial that earns its slot on the calendar every single month.

Clean isn’t
harsh.

Hydrated isn’t
heavy.

It runs your skin through a water-powered circuit: a vortex of cleansing solution loosens debris, gentle suction lifts it away, and hydrating serums infuse the freshly cleared surface. Deep clean and deep drink, in one pass.

No squeezing is involved. The suction handpiece draws congestion out with water, which is why even patients who dread manual extractions find this comfortable.

Choose Skin Wave when congestion and hydration lead your concerns; choose OxyGeneo when dullness leads. They're complementary rather than competing, and your esthetician will steer you honestly.

Skin stays notably clean and hydrated for one to two weeks, and a monthly rhythm keeps it in that state year-round.

Absolutely. There's no downtime, and makeup applies beautifully over freshly hydrated skin. Same-day event bookings are common.
