All About the Oxylight Facial: The New Star in Skin Care and Where To Get It

Skin Elevé is a leading skincare and beauty destination in Chatsworth, CA.

Winter is coming. Don’t we just love that phrase?

True, it’s a phrase invented by the genius writers of HBO’s famed totalitarian, dragon-loving series, but for us in the beauty business, that phrase kickstarts our quest to achieve ultimate hydration for our skin.

And friends, I think I’ve found it. Get excited now.

Beyond the luxury lifestyles of Beverly Hills, the trendy voices of Los Feliz, and the Kardashian mecca (aka Calabasas) lies the Valley’s hidden skin gem, Skin Elevé.

Located in the community of Chatsworth, Skin Elevé, one of LA’s leading skincare destinations is transforming ordinary skincare treatments into extraordinary experiences with the latest technology, Oxylight.

California Spa Guide: The Best Spas in Beverly Hills

Oxylight is a machine that combines the most in-demand technologies into one facial. It’s exclusively available at a few luxury spas in all of California and, you guessed it—Skin Elevé is one of them.

“It’s been called the Rolls-Royce of all facials,” says Mary Bilbulyan, founder of Skin Elevé. “It gives you that tone, that lift. There is nothing of this caliber.”

Skin Elevé offers the Oxylight Facial, a cutting-edge treatment that combines the most in-demand technologies into one service.

Oxylight champions skin health, one of the leading philosophies for Skin Elevé. It’s designed to stimulate one’s own cells to get them on the path to healthy luxe skin with a completely non-invasive technology that combines six treatments into one session.

The treatments include diamond dermabrasion, lymphatic drainage, oxygen infusion, Biosonix ultrasound, microcurrent therapy, and LED light therapy with negative ionized oxygen to help detoxify and revitalize. And, the best part? Zero downtime.

“It’s like an ironing board,” Bilbulyan says. “What it does…it irons out your wrinkles or fine lines.”

The treatment is also as Hollywood as it gets. Both Kim Kardashian and Madonna have made Oxylight their go-to facial because it can smooth, lift, and brighten skin in just one session.

During awards season and New York, Paris, and Milan Fashion Weeks, the treatment was also in high demand with celebrities and models flying across the Atlantic to book a session.

It truly is the creme dé la creme of facials and the ultimate solution for all those natural girlies that want bright, dewy, and never dull-looking skin. Plus, everything is customized and tailored to the client’s needs.

“Whoever we tried it on so far, we take the before and afters, and you can see the lift,” Bilbulyan says.“Like your cheek is a little bit higher.”

Yeah, I just had to try it out for myself.

Walking into Skin Elevé, I was immediately met with a sense of calm and zen. The aesthetics of the spa were definitely on point. Creamy colors, natural textures, and pops of black and white truly made this place feel like the Rolls-Royce of all spas.

They’re not just doing amazing facials here. Skin Elevé also offers dermal fillers, bio-fillers, microneedling, laser hair removal, and more!

I checked in with the staff, who are as lovely as they come, and waited for my service in an ultra-luxurious waiting area with an assortment of beverages and a Nespresso machine for all you superior coffee lovers.

The waiting area for guests includes a Nespresso machine and various beverages.

Then my esthetician, Maritsa, who’s been in the luxury skin game for over six years, brought me into one of the large treatment rooms where I climbed into the cozy, comfy spa bed (it was warm, too!) with the Oxylight machine right next to me.

She took the time to provide a thorough consultation of my skin and then it was time for my epic 90-minute facial.

We began with a double steam cleanse with a gentle and milk cleanser by G.M. Collin. G.M Collin is a superior medical grade skincare line that combats all signs of aging. They have cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and more to deliver proven results for all skin types.

Their Diamond line really takes luxury skincare to the next level with its star ingredient—Photoluminescent diamond powder—which gives that “soft focus” effect to your skin. G.M. Collin is just one of the skincare lines that Skin Elevé houses.

The Oxylight Facial includes diamond dermabrasion, lymphatic drainage, oxygen infusion, Biosonix ultrasound, microcurrent therapy, and LED light therapy with negative ionized oxygen to help detoxify and revitalize skin.

“I was so particular about what skincare lines I was bringing in,” Bilbulyan says. “Right now we have Pavise, Epicutis, and G.M Collin. She is going to use the Diamond cream, it has the diamond powder in there. It will give you an extra glow.”

Skin Elevé also carries a holistic brand, Osmosis. It’s a non-toxic line that’s gentle enough for anyone in recovery.

“You really get a luxurious facial no matter what [at Skin Elevé],” Bilbulyan says. “You’re getting great quality products and service.”

After the cleanse, Maritsa began the use of the Oxylight machine with a diamond head microdermabrasion modality that removed the dead layer of my skin and helped remove any hyperpigmentation. She also did some blackhead removals and extractions to deliver a super clean look to my skin.

Next was the Biosonix ultrasound treatment for lift on my cheeks, brows, and jawline. Typically six minutes on each side of the face is enough to see an instant result, and I saw it.

It also plumped all areas of my face and stimulated collagen with it warm ultrasonic paddle. I mean, the before and afters speak for themselves. You’ll notice my cheeks are higher and my neck is lifted.

The light puffs of oxygen were refreshing as I received the benefits of the LED lights and I even fell asleep during the facial, which was truly relaxing!

After that, she worked on my under eye area with a microcurrent treatment to wake up the skin and stimulate collagen in that area.

Then to round out my facial, she put together a mask using products from the G.M Collin line, and filled the mask with a vitamin C cocktail to help brighten my skin as I lied down to receive LED light therapy and negative ionized oxygen to energize my skin. This was the best part!

The light puffs of oxygen were refreshing and not too overwhelming as I received the benefits of the LED lights. I even fell asleep, which is only a testament to how relaxing this facial truly is.

Maritsa then layered on a serum, moisturizer, sunblock, and lip balm to finish off the service. The result? A healthy, plump, and clean glow.

The lift and the luminosity of my skin was immediately noticeable and I loved it. But take caution: you will have to do some homework to maintain this look. Maritsa recommended performing gua sha at home for 5 to 10 minutes every night for the facial to have lasting results.

Granted, I’d rather make myself another appointment to do this all over again in three weeks, but pretty sure my wallet won’t agree. The Oxylight Facial begins at the price of $380 for 90 minutes at Skin Elevé. Trust me, this is the best bang for your buck!

The select spas in Beverly Hills that also offer the Oxylight Facial charge double the cost of what Skin Elevé charges. But like Bilbulyan says, everything is customized to the client’s needs at Skin Elevé. Some clients come in and request only specific modalities from the Oxylight.

“If you want to come in for the sculpted lifted look, you can do two modalities,” Bilbulyan says. “Some clients just come in for the microcurrent.”

No matter what brings you into the spa, one thing is certain: you will receive the best care for your skin at Skin Elevé.

They also are offering promotions on some services through the end of November 2024. Skin Elevé is located at 10316 Topanga Canyon Blvd., Suite B, Chatsworth, CA 91311.
