What is a SKINSTORM facial, and how does it work?
SKINSTORM is a clinical facial that combines six separate treatments — oxygen infusion, cryotherapy, resurfacing, needling and light therapy — into one session, designed to reset the skin without the downtime of more invasive procedures. It works by saturating the skin with topically dissolved oxygen while keeping it cold, which lets it treat intensively without triggering the stress and inflammation that usually comes with aggressive treatments.

The science in brief: why oxygen-led treatments work
Skin needs oxygen to function properly, and a large share of what it uses comes straight from the air around it rather than from inside the body. That absorption naturally slows as skin ages, which is part of why ageing skin repairs itself more slowly and loses some of its natural resilience. Oxygen-led facials like SKINSTORM are built around that gap — getting more usable oxygen into the skin while keeping the treatment cold enough that it doesn't provoke the stress response that comes with more aggressive treatments. That combination is what lets it work intensively without the redness, sensitivity or downtime you'd expect from something this thorough.
A quick overview of how the six steps fit together
SKINSTORM isn't one treatment — it's six, delivered back to back in the same session, each building on what came before. Broadly, the sequence moves from cleansing and oxygenating, into resurfacing and light therapy for tone and texture, through an oxygen-infused peel and a needling step to stimulate collagen, and finishes with a needle-free skin-boosting injection and a final round of light therapy to lock in the results. Each element is doing a genuinely different job, which is why the combined effect is more dramatic than any single step would be on its own.
For the full official breakdown of exactly what each of the six elements involves — including the specific technology and ingredients used in each step — see the SKINSTORM Facial page, which also has current pricing and course options.
Who it's for
Because SKINSTORM addresses pigmentation, texture, ageing, congestion and dehydration all in one session, it works well as a general reset for almost any skin concern — and it's a genuinely good option for anyone who wants visible results without the downtime of more invasive treatments like deep peels or injectables.

Does SKINSTORM hurt?
No — most clients describe it as relaxing rather than uncomfortable. The cooling elements offset any warmth from the light therapy steps, and there's no significant downtime afterwards.BIAB — Builder in a Bottle — is a specific type of strengthening gel applied directly onto your natural nail. Unlike acrylic, which is a powder-and-liquid system that sits more rigidly on top of the nail, BIAB is lightweight and flexible, designed to protect and grow out weak or brittle nails while still giving a glossy, durable finish. "Gel overlay" is often used as a general term for this style of treatment — at Gina Rose Beauty, our gel overlay service is BIAB.
How long does a SKINSTORM facial take?
A full session takes around 60–75 minutes, working through all six elements in sequence.
Is SKINSTORM the same as microneedling or a chemical peel?
Not quite — SKINSTORM includes its own oxygen-based needling and peel steps as part of its six-step system, but these are different from standalone microneedling and chemical peel treatments, which use separate, dedicated equipment for a more targeted result.
How often should I get a SKINSTORM facial?
Many clients see the best results from a course, since each session builds on the last — a course of 6 is common for anyone targeting a specific concern rather than a one-off refresh.
