What the New Jetstream Facial Can Do For You

The Jetstream Facial is a new innovation utilizing the JetPeel deep exfoliation/oxygen infusion device. The system propels a supersonic mist of oxygen and saline into the skin, rejuvenating it as no other facial has achieved previously.

When the discharged gas jet meets the skin surface, its initial pressure is partially restored. This pressure increases as the handpiece approaches the skin. The pressure, which can reach 3-4 bars, stretches the skin at and near the point of contact. "Barophoresis" occurs due to the difference in pressure on both sides of the skin. The intensive heat exchange during treatment causes skin temperature to drop by 10-15 degrees Celsius. This in turn stimulates the body's thermoregulation system and increases blood circulation.

During the Jetstream facial, the skin in the high-pressure zone sags, creating a concave surface. The skin stretches, micro-canals in outer layers of the skin broaden, and new canals are created. This opens up access to inner skin layers. Under the pressure change and through the broadened, stretched canals that no longer present a size limitation, biological ingredients and gas can penetrate deeply into the skin. The penetration depth is a function of pressure variance. When pressure is decreased, the skin is restored, canals are closed and the treatment material is snared in the tissue. After the procedure, patients report a feeling of stretched skin, which is indirect evidence of increased moisture penetration.

For various skin types including sun-damaged, aged and coarse, dry skin, the Jetstream Facial's supersonic water mist deeply exfoliates, cleanses and hydrates the skin creating an anti-inflammatory effect. Pure medical oxygen is deposited through the epidermis and into the dermis enabling the dermis to be less compressed during the new collagen deposition process. Studies have shown that this technology intensifies the local microcirculation and thus cell oxygen delivery from blood. Depending upon the needs of your skin, this supersonic procedure can also deliver various targeted serums, such as hyaluronic acids and anti-oxidants for added benefits.
