About Bioxygene
BiOxygène is GUINOT's oxygenating radiance treatment, built on the Bioxygène skincare line that GUINOT created specifically to counter what city life does to the skin. Pollution, stress, screens and lack of sleep leave the complexion dull and 'asphyxiated'; this facial uses GUINOT's Pro-Oxygen complex to boost the oxygenation of the skin's cells, Purisoft to purify and shield the skin from environmental irritants, and the Hydrocyte complex to lock in hydration.
The result is skin that looks as if it has taken a deep breath — brighter, clearer, more comfortable and visibly rested — with the Bioxygène products available to continue the effect at home.

Is this treatment right for me?
BiOxygène suits skin that looks dull, tired, grey or 'suffocated' by city living, and anyone who wants a gentle, radiance-restoring facial without strong actives. It's a good match for normal, dehydrated or pollution-exposed skin.
You may be suitable if…
- Your skin looks dull, tired or lacklustre
- You live or work in a polluted city environment
- You'd like an immediate, natural glow before an event
- You prefer a gentle treatment that comforts rather than stimulates
Your consultation will consider…
- Your skin type, condition and what you'd like to improve
- Sensitivities, allergies, medication and any skin conditions
- Recent treatments, sun exposure or use of active skincare
- Whether a single treatment or a course will give the result you want
What to expect
Before treatment
Mona begins every facial with a skin assessment and a chat about your concerns, routine and any sensitivities or conditions, so the treatment and products are matched to your skin on the day. Arrive with a clean face if you can; there's nothing else to prepare.
During treatment
After cleansing with the Bioxygène foam and a gentle exfoliation, Mona applies the oxygenating serum and works it in with circulation-boosting massage, then a depolluting Bioxygène mask to purify and rehydrate. Around fifty minutes.
After treatment
Skin looks calm, hydrated and glowing. Mona finishes with serum, moisturiser and SPF, and talks through home care to keep the results going.
Results & longevity
Skin looks fresher, brighter and more rested immediately, with the glow lasting a week or two. Using the Bioxygène cream and cleansing foam at home extends the effect, and a treatment every four to six weeks keeps city skin looking its best.
Recovery, side effects & aftercare
Facials have no downtime — skin looks fresh, hydrated and calm as you leave, and make-up can go straight back on if you'd like it to (though most people prefer to let the skin breathe for the evening).
Side effects
A mild, temporary flush is the usual extent of it. Skin that's had extractions can show small pink marks for a day. Very occasionally a product causes a mild reaction in sensitive skin, which is why Mona assesses your skin and history first and can patch-test where needed.
Aftercare
Let the products work — avoid heavy make-up, exfoliants, retinol and strong actives for 24 hours, and stay out of strong sun, saunas and heat for the rest of the day. Drink water, and use SPF daily. Mona will recommend home care to extend the results.
Please contact us if you notice persistent redness, itching or a rash after your facial.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Hydradermie?
Hydradermie uses ionisation to deep-cleanse and hydrate; BiOxygène focuses on oxygenation, purification and radiance for pollution-tired skin. Both give a glow — Mona will suggest which your skin needs most.
What is Pro-Oxygen?
GUINOT's complex that supports the skin cells' own respiration, helping tired, oxygen-starved skin look revived and luminous.
Is it good before an event?
Yes — it's one of the best facials for an immediate, natural glow with no downtime.
Does it help with pollution damage?
It's designed for exactly that: Purisoft purifies and shields the skin from environmental irritants while the oxygenating actives revive it.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Mona assesses your skin first and adapts products and techniques; many treatments have gentle options, and the bespoke facial is designed around sensitive conditions such as rosacea and eczema.
How often should I have a facial?
For visible, lasting change, every four to six weeks matches the skin's renewal cycle. For maintenance or a treat, whenever you like — Mona will suggest a rhythm that suits your skin and budget.
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
You can, but the skin looks its best bare after a facial, and letting the products settle for a few hours makes the most of the treatment.
What happens at the start?
A short skin assessment and conversation about your concerns, routine and any sensitivities, so the facial is tailored to you on the day.
