The OxyGeneo facial is generally safe, but there are specific conditions and circumstances that prevent individuals from undergoing the treatment to ensure safety and optimal results.

- Vascular Disorders: Those with existing vascular disorders should avoid the OxyGeneo facial.
- Active Skin Conditions in the Treatment Area: The presence of any active skin conditions on the face or area to be treated is a contraindication. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Eczema
- Active acne breakouts
- Rashes
- Dermatitis
- Sunburnt skin
- Injured or broken skin
- Rosacea (especially during flare-ups)
- Psoriasis
- Active herpes simplex (cold sores)
- Recent Medication Use:
- Accutane (Isotretinoin): Individuals who have used Accutane within the last 3 months should not undergo the treatment due to increased skin sensitivity and potential for adverse reactions.
