The Facial of the Future Comes to A Midas Touch Med Spa

The Geneo Hydrate Facial exfoliates, oxygenates, and noursihes your skin from the inside-out.

Facials have long been a luxurious approach to self-care.

As men and women are collectively taking much better care of their skin these days (say goodbye to the days of baby oil and tin-foil-tanning), the options for skincare products are overwhelming. Dermaplaning is becoming an easy and enjoyable (is that just me?) part of at-home skincare routines and Tik Tok is full of serums that promise to reduce wrinkles and fine-lines. People are spray-tanning more and actively protecting their precious skin from the potentially-damaging UV rays. We are now much wiser when it comes to both skin care and skin damage and that is a beautiful thing.

Still, men and women take much better care of their skin these days than they ever have before, and the options for doing so are seemingly limitless. In fact, the quantity of options for skin care that are available today can be overwhelming. Dermaplaning is becoming an easy and enjoyable (is that just me?) part of at-home skincare routines, and Tik Tok is full of serums that promise to reduce wrinkles and fine-lines. People are spray-tanning more and real-tanning less. Say goodbye to the days of baby oil and tin-foil-tanning, people now actively protect their skin from damaging UV rays. In short, we are much wiser when it comes to both skin care and skin damage and that is a beautiful thing.

Options for both at-home skincare and spa facials are improving, and you are not going to want to miss the hottest new facial to hit market: It’s being called the facial of the future and lucky for us, it is available locally at A Midas Touch Med Spa in Glastonbury.

The Geneo Hydrate Facial is a 3-in-1, non-invasive treatment said to be a favorite of celebrities like Emily Blunt, Stephanie Pratt and Jesse James Decker. So what makes it so special? It does it all! It exfoliates, oxygenates, and nourishes your skin, and it can be customizable to meet your skin’s unique needs (toning, reducing wrinkles, etc).

The magic of this particular facial is to trigger what is known as The Bohr Effect—in layman’s terms, it’s the natural process by which the body releases more oxygen when CO2 levels rise. The Geneo Hydrate Facial takes advantage of this relationship and introduces CO2 to your skin (you will feel the serum bubbling, which is oh-so-satisfying!) and voila!—oxygen-carrying blood surges the skin, delivering oxygen from within, and leaving your face hydrated, refreshed and glowing! Reported benefits include a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, brighter skin, and a reduction in redness and inflammation, and all are noticeable after just one treatment.

Don’t believe the hype? Go ahead and check out the before and after pictures—you are sure to be impressed. If you aren’t sure this is the right facial for you, just book a consult and ask and all questions you may have. Your skin deserves a treat and a little extra oxygen, don’t you think?
