Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want your skin to look its best through a busy week, a facial treatment that hydrates and revives without downtime can give your complexion that extra boost. 

That boost comes in the form of the Intraceuticals oxygen facial, beloved by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, and other international celebrities as a pre-red-carpet ritual. 

Available at IDS Aesthetics as the 60-minute IDS O2 Rejuvenate (O2R) treatment by Intraceuticals, it was awarded Most Advanced Medi-Facial at this year’s Spa Awards for its gentle, layered techniques to help skin look radiant regardless of its current condition.

Beyond skin deep 

Each session begins with a double cleansing to remove make-up, grime, and sunscreen, followed by microdermabrasion and gentle extractions to clarify the complexion. Instead of wetting the skin or using a physical exfoliator, this step is done on dry skin with gentle suction to lift away build-up and refine skin texture.

Spa Awards reviewer Lim Yi Xuan shares: “After this was done, I could feel and see that my skin was smoother. They even showed me the amount of dead skin removed!” 

The star step is the Intraceuticals oxygen infusion, where the Rejuvenate serum is delivered deep into the skin with pressurised oxygen. The serum blend combines hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture; green tea for antioxidant care; and vitamins A, C, and E to nourish and protect – leaving skin plump, refreshed, and radiant.

Yi Xuan noted how gentle yet thorough the process felt, even on sensitive areas like the eyelids and lips. Her therapist also applied the serum to her lips after noticing dryness. 

“That was conscientious of her,” she adds. 

Depending on your skin’s needs, the infusion can be tailored to target concerns such as fine lines or sensitivity.

Red-carpet ready, anytime

Red LED light therapy comes next to support recovery and circulation, before the treatment is sealed in with a layer of moisturiser and sunscreen. Yi Xuan describes the overall experience as comfortable and painless. “There is usually a slight stinging after serum application; however, I felt that their products were gentle and did not cause discomfort,” she says.

She also appreciated the post-treatment service from being offered a drink immediately after, to being given time to freshen up in a bright, well-lit powder room. “My skin felt smooth and supple, and there was a healthy glow,” she notes. 

From a quick pick-me-up during lunch to prepping for party season, the IDS O2R treatment by Intraceuticals makes a case for skin that feels replenished, refreshed and looks red-carpet ready.
