Hello All! Today I am headed back to the roots of AshlieHipp.com and talking about SKINCARE. Specifically we are going to chat about the AMAZING facial that I received last week at Rain’s Skin Prescriptions in Sewickley, the cutest little town just outside of Pittsburgh, PA. Those of you who follow me on Instagram know that Rain is not only my go-to MUA, but I have also posted about getting a HyraFacial from her, which is actually one of my favorite services to have done. If you’re curious about it and want to try one of those, Rain offers a first timers special price of $150, well worth it.
However, we’re not here to talk about the HydraFacial, today I want to talk about the service that is buy one, get one, this month only… the Oxygen Dome Therapy facial. This service is becoming HUGE in places like LA and New York, but hasn’t quite made it’s way to the 412… UNTIL NOW!
“What is an Oxygen Dome Therapy facial?”
You may ask. It is a full facial, that includes a Diamond Microdermabrasion (I like to think of it as the the HydraFacial’s more intense cousin) and an enzyme peel. However, at the end of your service you sit in what I like to call a “bubble” (Dome) that pushes 90% pure oxygen onto your skin, thus helping with product penetration and MANY other things. This service boasts super charged skin, a more hydrated appearance, not to mention it clears acne and leaves you with a glass skin appearance. ALL TRUE. As I sit here writing this I am almost two weeks post service with not one pimple on my face, the light scaring from picking (I’m a picker) is all gone and my skin is glassy, sis!
“How Much Will It Cost?”
The hour long treatment will run you $199.00, but is WELL worth it. There is also a cheaper, more condensed Oxygen Dome Therapy facial that will run you $150.00 per visit. Additionally, you should get an Oxygen Dome Therapy facial every 4-5 weeks for best results. However, Rain may suggest coming more frequently depending on your skin type and what you are looking to accomplish.
If you’re local and struggle with acne or other skin issues, I have great news! Since Rain is THE BEST, she is willing to work out special pricing just for you if you have a skin condition that requires more frequent visits. I can’t think of any other spa, salon, WHATEVER that helps their clients like that.
Intrigued? Lucky for you, WE RECORDED THE WHOLE SERVICE. Check it out…
Here are the steps you’re seeing in the video…
- Deep cleanse then Tone
- Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion
- High Frequency Treatment (an add-on due to a hormonal breakout)
- Oxygen Bomb Whipping Mask to deep clean and detoxify
- Pure Himalayan White Tea Hydro-jelly (helps calm breakouts, also an add-on)
- Rose Quartz Rolling… sooo relaxing
- An Oxygen Gun is used to penetrate ampules deep into the skin (peptides, antioxidants, skin brighteners, hyaluronic acid and skin vitamins)
- Caviar serum is applied
- Lotus stem cell is then used
- Moisture mask is applied and topped off with green tea eye patches, PCA lip plumper… then it’s time for “the bubble”
“What Are Add-ons?”
Add-ons are essentially things that you need, but aren’t included in the service. For an example, since I was breaking out Rain added the High Frequency treatment and Hyrdo-jelly mask into my facial. However, they do come at an additional cost!
“Is There Any Downtime?”
Since you are getting a microdermabrasion, you do leave a little red, and you’ll definitely want to wear SPF for the next few days. Also, I had some pimples come out more in the days after, but that’s completely normal because of the additional acne treatments I received. Even though I left with my skin looking dewy and glass-like, I would recommend getting this service about a week out from any BIG events, or even getting several in the months leading to it. If you’re worried about the silky appearance fading out after a week, don’t… like I mentioned, I’m two weeks out and my skin has NEVER looked better.
If you are looking for a facial treatment with ZERO downtime, as I also mentioned above, Rain offers Hydra-Facials. It is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing, deep clean.
Just a reminder, that this service is BOGO this month and next month (June & July 2019) ONLY!

Ash
