Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves injecting medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas beneath the skin to rejuvenate its appearance and treat various concerns.
How Does It Work?
- CO₂ injections create a controlled “oxygen shortage” in the treated area.
- The body responds by increasing blood flow to deliver more oxygen.
- This boosts collagen/elastin production, improving skin quality over time.
Common Uses & Benefits
✔ Dark Under-Eye Circles – Reduces puffiness and improves circulation.
✔ Cellulite & Stretch Marks – Smoothes dimpled skin and promotes repair.
✔ Scarring – Softens raised or depressed scars (e.g., acne).
✔ Skin Rejuvenation – Tightens loose skin and improves texture/tone.
✔ Localized Fat Reduction – May aid in contouring areas like the abdomen or thighs.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Procedure: Small CO₂ injections are administered with a fine needle.
- Duration: 15–30 minutes per session (varies by area).
- Discomfort: Mild tingling or pressure (no anesthesia needed).
- Downtime: None—resume daily activities immediately.
Results & Recovery
- Gradual improvement over 4–6 sessions (spaced 1–2 weeks apart).
- Temporary redness/swelling may occur but fades quickly.
- Long-term effects depend on maintenance and skin condition.
Ideal Candidates
- Those seeking non-surgical alternatives to lasers or surgery.
- Patients with mild-moderate skin laxity or texture issues.
- Not recommended for pregnant women or people with severe circulatory disorders.
Science-Backed Safety
- FDA-cleared for certain applications.
- Minimal risks (rare bruising or discomfort).
- Works synergistically with other treatments (e.g., microneedling).
