Treatment Overview
AquaO₂ Therapy is a Korean oxygen facial therapy that revitalizes the skin by combining deep hydration with pure oxygen infusion. This non-invasive treatment delivers concentrated oxygen along with serums rich in hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants, and peptides directly into the skin.
