Beauty: DRx Medispa O2 Rejuvenate Treatment

It's time for another beauty review by this skinnyfat girl!
My friends all know that I'm obsessed with having a sharp and well defined face and I'm always complaining about how chubby my face is. I use the Clarins Shaping Facial Lift serum religiously even though I don't see much effect (my gfs say that it's because my face is already very small. MEH.) Anyway, i tried the Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen (THO) Therapy, a facial which promises to make my face smaller! Touted as the Madonna treatment (she swears by it), the temporary effects are similar to that of a facelift.
We started with a microdermabrasion treatment to remove the dead skin from the surface. One of my favorite treatments for sure. Then we proceeded with the THO O2 Rejuvenate therapy.

O2 Rejuvenate ($250) uses ingredients derived from natural amino acids, targeting expression lines and producing a firmer and smoother look. Chester added the Atoxelene serum ($120, added on to a THO treatment) for that extra firmness.
The facial treatment was way more relaxing than my first facial (no extraction! Read review of my first facial here). It works by directing oxygen to the vital fluids at the surface, and it helps to promote new cell growth to speed healing and aid absorption of the serums used. In layman's terms, the serums are vaporized and blown onto/into the skin. All i felt was a light cool stream of air on my face which was very refreshing.

So how's the effect? AMAZING. I'll let the pictures do the talking. First, the before picture. Focus on the jawline and the chin. Hello Miss Hamster Cheeks!
Now here is my sharp melon face after the treatment!!! My colleague said that I can cut fruits with this chin.
Firmer and smoother skin with reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines! More camwhore pics!
I couldn't stop smiling at myself in the mirror after the treatment. Haven't seen such a small face in a bit, thanks to all the eating and drinking. Woes of a food blogger. :( Don't tell me there's no difference to the before and after. There is really a difference! 
The effect of the Atoxelene lasts for about 3 days. That is what 'lifts' the skin. The glow however lasts for about 1-2 weeks. Now here is a picture after 3 days. Loving that glow. No blusher required! :)) 
This is definitely a facial to do right before an important occasion. Apparently the effect lasts longer if you do it regularly. That's probably how Madonna looks so young still. Certainly my hot favorite from DRx Medispa! Stay tuned for more delicious beauty treatments!
