Israeli beauty-tech firm Pollogen has launched a sleek new device that can give you a ‘super-facial’ in less than 10 minutes, without having to go to the salon.
The egg-shaped Geneo Personal is a handheld oxygenation system that taps into a process known as the Bohr Effect to give you clearer, fresher skin at home.
Instead of simply ‘rubbing air bubbles on your face,’ Geneo Personal stimulates oxygen from beneath the skin’s surface, according to the firm.
Pollogen unveiled the product in an Indiegogo campaign this month for a discounted $109 ahead of its official release next year, when it will retail at $249. The palm-sized Geneo Personal device is designed to deliver a high-quality, once-per-week facial treatment in just six minutes.
It releases carbon dioxide bubbles across your face as you exfoliate, lowering the PH levels at the surface of your skin.
This, in turn, draws oxygen up from beneath ‘to react and enrich the surface from within,’ the firm explains.
The carbon dioxide ‘stimulates a release of oxygen from your blood cells up to your skin’s surface,’ according to Pollogen.
‘This physiological response is what makes your facial skin really level up.’
