Key Takeaways
- Geneo X is built around seven OxyPod formulas, each targeting a different skin concern — this level of customisation doesn't exist in a standard facial, where every client receives the same product regardless of skin type.
- The Balance OxyPod regulates oil and purifies pores for acne-prone skin, with zero downtime and no post-treatment purging.
- The Revive OxyPod, combined with Geneo X's TriPollar RF, delivers a firming and lifting effect by stimulating collagen renewal — addressed in this guide as "RF Lifting."
- The Hydrate OxyPod delivers hyaluronic acid below the skin's surface via ultrasound infusion, producing deeper hydration than a topical moisturiser or standard hydrating facial.
- The Glam OxyPod is designed specifically for pre-event radiance — instant firmness and glow with zero downtime, ideal before weddings or important occasions.
- Your OxyPod is selected at every visit based on a proper skin consultation, not applied the same way to every client who walks in.
Most facials in KL offer one treatment, one set of products, applied the same way regardless of what your skin actually needs that day. Geneo X works differently — it's built around seven OxyPod formulas, each one a different active blend targeting a specific concern. This guide covers every single one, including real session footage for the four most requested formulas at Casablanca Aesthetic.
Why This Level of Customisation Doesn't Exist in a Standard Facial
A typical facial — even a good one — usually involves the same core product line regardless of who's in the chair. Oily skin and dehydrated skin might get a slightly different mask, but the underlying mechanism doesn't change. The OxyPod system in Geneo X works differently: it changes the actual active ingredient blend, and the way it's delivered into the skin, based on the specific concern being treated that day.
Each OxyPod is a capsule activated during treatment, which combines with Geneo X's oxygenation and infusion technology to deliver that formula's actives more effectively than a topical product applied at home ever could. This is the mechanism behind why the same machine can function as a deep cleansing facial, an anti-ageing RF treatment, a hydrating facial, and a brightening facial — just by changing which OxyPod is selected.
Balance — For Oily and Acne-Prone Skin
Balance OxyPod
Oil ControlThe Balance OxyPod is formulated for oily skin, clogged pores, and acne-prone skin. It works by regulating excess sebum production while purifying pores — without the redness, congestion-clearing trauma, or downtime associated with manual extractions or aggressive chemical exfoliants.
What makes this different from a standard deep cleansing facial is that the purifying actives are delivered via Geneo X's oxygenation and infusion process — reaching deeper into clogged pores than a surface application or manual extraction, with none of the post-treatment purging clients often experience with stronger acne treatments.

Book on WhatsAppRF Lifting — For Firmness and Early Signs of Ageing
Revive OxyPod + TriPollar RF
Lifting & FirmingThis is where Geneo X moves beyond what most facials can offer. The Revive OxyPod is combined with Geneo X's built-in TriPollar® RF technology — controlled radiofrequency energy that stimulates collagen and elastin production in the dermis. The OxyPod delivers actives that support this renewal process, while the RF component does the structural work of firming and lifting.
This isn't an instant, dramatic lift comparable to a surgical procedure — the firming effect builds progressively as collagen regenerates, typically over a course of 4–6 sessions. What it does offer is a non-invasive option for addressing early signs of skin laxity without needles or downtime, something not every facial in KL is equipped to provide.

Deep Hydration — For Dehydrated and Tight-Feeling Skin
Hydrate OxyPod
Deep HydrationThe Hydrate OxyPod is formulated for dehydrated, dry, or tight-feeling skin. Most moisturisers only work on the outermost skin layer — the stratum corneum — and can't penetrate deep enough to fix genuine cellular dehydration. Geneo X solves this through ultrasound infusion, which drives hyaluronic acid and peptides below that surface layer, where topical products simply cannot reach.
For a full breakdown of why surface hydration fails and what actually fixes dehydrated skin, see our hydrating facial guide.

Glam — For Pre-Event Radiance
Glam OxyPod
Firming & RadianceThe Glam OxyPod is designed for one specific moment: the day before or the morning of something important. It improves skin firmness, elasticity, and glow while deeply nourishing tired-looking skin — producing visible results immediately, with zero downtime and zero risk of redness.
This is the most frequently requested OxyPod before weddings, important meetings, and photo shoots, precisely because there's no risk involved — unlike a new product or treatment that could react unpredictably right before an event, Glam's results are immediate and reliable.

Illuminate, Detox, and Retouch — The Remaining Three Formulas
The four formulas above are covered with real session footage. The remaining three OxyPods are just as much a part of the system — here's what each one does.
Illuminate OxyPod
BrighteningThe Illuminate OxyPod is formulated for dull, uneven-toned skin and visible pigmentation. It works by delivering brightening actives — including Vitamin C, Retinol, and Kojic Acid — via Geneo X's oxygenation and infusion process, targeting melanin production at a deeper level than a topical brightening serum alone.
This is the most frequently selected OxyPod for clients whose primary goal is glow rather than a specific structural concern — and it's the formula most often paired with the Bohr Effect oxygenation step for visible, immediate radiance.
Detox OxyPod
PurifyingThe Detox OxyPod is built for tired, stressed, or congested skin — the kind that doesn't necessarily show classic acne or visible dryness, but feels and looks generally depleted. It works to purify the skin and remove built-up impurities, leaving a revitalised, less congested complexion.
Clients often request Detox after a period of poor sleep, travel, or high stress — it's less about treating a specific skin condition and more about resetting skin that's lost its usual vitality.
Retouch OxyPod
ResurfacingThe Retouch OxyPod focuses on texture — rough patches, enlarged pores, and an uneven skin surface. It gently exfoliates dead skin cells and helps refine the appearance of pores, leaving skin smoother and more even to the touch, not just visually.
This formula is often selected for clients whose primary concern is texture rather than tone or hydration — particularly useful before makeup-heavy events where a smooth base matters as much as glow.

How your OxyPod is actually chosen
Your formula isn't something you pick off a menu before arriving — it's selected after a real skin consultation at each visit. If your concern shifts between sessions (Balance one month for breakouts, Hydrate the next after recovering from sun exposure), your treatment shifts with it. This is what genuine customisation looks like, rather than a fixed package applied regardless of what your skin needs that day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OxyPod in a Geneo X facial?+
An OxyPod is a customisable active capsule used in the Geneo X facial. Each OxyPod contains a different concentration of active ingredients targeting a specific skin concern, such as oil control, hydration, brightening, or firmness. It is activated on the skin during treatment and selected based on a skin consultation, not applied the same way to every client.
How many OxyPod formulas does Geneo X have?+
Geneo X offers seven OxyPod formulas: Illuminate (brightening), Hydrate (deep hydration), Balance (oil control and acne), Revive (anti-ageing and RF lifting), Detox (purifying), Glam (firming and radiance), and Retouch (resurfacing). Each is selected based on the client's specific skin concern at consultation.
Which OxyPod is best for oily or acne-prone skin?+
The Balance OxyPod is designed for oily and acne-prone skin. It regulates excess sebum production and purifies clogged pores, helping support clearer, healthier-looking skin without the redness or downtime associated with more aggressive acne treatments.
Can Geneo X provide a skin tightening or lifting effect?+
Yes. The Revive OxyPod is combined with Geneo X's TriPollar RF technology to target fine lines, loss of elasticity, and skin laxity, supporting collagen renewal for a firming and lifting effect over a course of sessions.
Which OxyPod is best for dehydrated skin?+
The Hydrate OxyPod is formulated for deep hydration. It restores moisture levels via ultrasound infusion, delivering hyaluronic acid below the skin's surface for plumper, smoother skin that surface moisturisers cannot achieve alone.
What is the Glam OxyPod used for?+
The Glam OxyPod is designed for firming and radiance, ideal as a pre-event treatment. It improves skin firmness, elasticity, and glow while deeply nourishing tired-looking skin, producing visible results with zero downtime.
Does every facial clinic offer this level of customisation?+
No. Most standard facials apply the same product or protocol to every client regardless of skin concern. The OxyPod system in Geneo X is specific to the Pollogen technology platform and allows the treatment to be reformulated for oil control, hydration, firmness, or brightening at every single visit based on a proper skin consultation.
