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).
