Hydrogen Peel™ — hydrogen facial cleansing
Hydrogen Peel hydrogen facial cleansing is an innovative method for deep-cleansing the skin of blackheads and impurities. The device generates active hydrogen particles that penetrate deep into the skin, bind impurities and neutralise free radicals — the result is clean, hydrated and radiant skin.
Hydrogen Peel hydrogen facial cleansing — how it works
Hydrogen Peel™ hydrogen facial cleansing is an innovative method for cleansing facial skin of blackheads and impurities. The device generates active hydrogen particles, carried by the handpiece deep into the skin. Thanks to their microscopic size, the hydrogen particles penetrate right down to cell level, where they bind impurities. The result is thorough cleansing of the sebaceous gland openings of sebum, exfoliation of dead skin cells, and a reduction in the free radicals responsible for skin ageing.
Our skin is exposed daily to external factors (UV radiation, air pollution, tobacco smoke) that generate free radicals which damage cells and collagen fibres. Thanks to the small hydrogen molecule, these harmful processes are neutralised.

Hydrogen Peel versus Geneo and microneedling
Hydrogen Peel is hydrogen facial cleansing — it works with water and active hydrogen, cleansing the pores of sebum and blackheads most deeply while neutralising free radicals, which makes it a good fit for oily and acne-prone skin. If you're after oxygenation and brightening instead, choose the Geneo treatment. Deeper stimulation and the delivery of substances through micro-channels is offered by Dermapen 4, while acid-based exfoliation is provided by medical chemical peels. Your cosmetologist selects the treatment to match your skin's needs.
Hydrogen facial cleansing in numbers
Cleansing is a treatment often performed occasionally or as part of a skincare routine, so we measure it by the number of satisfied clients rather than repeat visits.
Source: Versum and Booksy reports, as of 30 June 2026 (approximate matching). In total, the clinic has performed 67,135 treatments.
Active hydrogen and hydrogen cleansing technology
The smallest molecule
Hydrogen is the lightest element — thanks to its small mass, it penetrates deep into the skin's structures right down to cell level and selectively neutralises free radicals.
Pressurised water
Hydrogen produced by the generator is carried by a pressurised water jet — it gently exfoliates, cleanses the pores and hydrates the skin at the same time.
System Vacuum Control
It controls the suction strength during the treatment, helping prevent petechiae, bruising and mechanical skin damage.
Active hydrogen binds to the most reactive oxygen free radicals, converting them into water molecules — this is how it slows ageing processes at the cellular level. Thanks to the simultaneous infusion and extraction technology, the skin is hydrated and refreshed after the treatment.

The research directions below concern molecular (active) hydrogen as a selective antioxidant — the mechanism used in Hydrogen Peel hydrogen facial cleansing.
Hydrogen as a selective antioxidant
Studies have shown that molecular hydrogen selectively neutralises the most harmful free radicals, acting as a therapeutic antioxidant.
Ohsawa et al., 2007 · PubMed →Hydrogen, skin and oxidative stress
Research on hydrogen (including hydrogen-rich water) describes antioxidant and protective effects on skin exposed to oxidative stress.
Shin et al., 2013 · PubMed →Hydrogen and inflammatory processes
Research on molecular hydrogen points to anti-inflammatory effects linked to reducing reactive oxygen species.
Ishibashi, 2013 · PubMed →The links lead to PubMed searches for the given technology. Exact publication identifiers (PMID) require live confirmation before publication — the PubMed database was unavailable during this session. The cited studies concern the CLASS of technology, not a specific device brand; results vary between individuals, and the specialist determines the number and scope of treatments.
How the Hydrogen Peel treatment works, step by step
Before the treatment, a health questionnaire is carried out to rule out contraindications. The skin of the face, neck and décolletage is treated with a specialist suction handpiece that draws the skin to a chosen depth while delivering active hydrogen. In the extended Hydrogen 5D version, further steps are carried out with a microcurrent handpiece, using selected meso-cocktails and a sheet mask. The treatment requires no preparation and can be performed at any time of year, even on tanned skin — immediately afterwards, the skin is cleansed, hydrated and radiant.

Frequently asked questions — Hydrogen Peel
What is Hydrogen Peel hydrogen facial cleansing?
It's a method of deep skin cleansing with active hydrogen. The device generates fine hydrogen particles that penetrate deep into the skin, bind impurities and neutralise free radicals. The result is pores cleared of sebum, exfoliation of dead skin cells, and hydrated, radiant skin — with no needles and no downtime.
Who is the Hydrogen Peel treatment for?
Hydrogen facial cleansing is for anyone looking for a painless, non-invasive way to get clean skin — women and men, at any age. It works well for younger skin (acne, blackheads, post-inflammatory marks) and mature skin (loss of radiance and firmness, impurities). It can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage and other areas.
How does Hydrogen Peel differ from the Geneo treatment?
Hydrogen Peel is a hydrogen facial cleansing treatment — it cleanses the pores of sebum and blackheads most thoroughly and neutralises free radicals, which makes it excellent for oily and acne-prone skin. Geneo focuses on oxygenating and brightening the skin and delivering ingredients from a capsule. Your cosmetologist chooses the treatment based on your skin's needs.
What does the extended Hydrogen 5D version offer?
Hydrogen 5D is the most comprehensive cleansing programme, made up of five stages: hydrogen cleansing, blood-flow stimulation, cooling (Cold Aqua), microcurrent lifting (Bio Lift MCT) and ingredient delivery (Senso Membrana). The lifting effect and improved skin tone can be visible after just one treatment.
Does hydrogen facial cleansing hurt, and does it require downtime?
No. The treatment is gentle, painless and pleasant — the Vacuum Control System manages the suction level, helping prevent irritation. It requires no preparation or recovery time; it can be performed at any time of year, even on tanned skin, and you can return to your daily activities right away.
